La dolce decadenza.
I am sitting in the premium lounge in Rome’s Fiumicino airport, very near to Ostia where the great Suburra: Blood on Rome was set, drinking fine espressos, eating miniature hotdogs, listening to Andrew WK, pushing absurd decadence to its absolute and final limit.
Flying soon a changed man.
But before I board, we must revel in actor famous for playing sexless butterballs and new Malibu local Jonah Hill’s transition into the Patron Saint of VALs.
Who could have seen this coming?
But surfing is glorious in this way, perpetually surprising, and now Hill has his own surf short, a necessary accomplishment for any favorite.
Watch.
Enjoy.
La dolce decadenza.

Be careful. All that estrogen will give you cones.
just saw a few seconds of the worst surfing ever witnessed… it truly is the Valpocalypse Now
This is what I come to BG for! Someone has to send this to him.
I can’t figure out if he looks more like a beluga whale or my 5th grade lesbian gym teacher!
Incredibly underwhelming.
Totally. I had a KTM supermoto with WP suspension.
Hopefully A.
And then of course there were the Swastika brand surfboards made by Pacific System Homes. It’s very rare to find a for real Swastika on one of these boards. Most surfers erased them with wood burners toward the end of the 1930s.

Valibu …
WTF?? That has a name, is called spam musubi not spamchops Haole.
Surfing is not treating Ron Jeremy well.
You heard he’s doing life in jail?
Yeah. Sometimes even gents like him have to ask, not assume.
Close to spamstika, or is it a swasushi?
Fuck yeah out there for a few fun ones
Hawaiian powerbars
Is he surfing mongo?
I’ve always wondered: is the 88 Surfboards name a dorky white supremacist thing? As in, H is the eighth letter of the alphabet, and so “88” signals “heil hitler.”
I don’t like the branding.
You must be WOKE
HateyEight?
Jonah Hill auditioning for Point Break 3?
Surfs about as well as Johnny Utah, but I don’t know if he has the acting chops.
lyrical and magical
Some one has been watching William Strobek films.
I was thinking exactly this
Be great if it was lots if extreme close ups of JH’s feet on those wacky takeoffs, Fat Bill style.
Kai Lenny, am I doing this right?
Yeah that was good.
He fucking burned enough people eh?
You haven’t actually “burned” anybody, until you’ve been felony trespassed.
You haven’t actually ‘burned’ anyone until you’ve set fire to them in a pit on the back 40.
Be sure to fill in the pit before sunrise. Satellites are shooting all day. Also, plan for development, which I didn’t account for at K-38.
Don’t forget the quicklime
He burned me the other day with no remorse and then proceeded to fall immediately……
Choosing to surf Malibu ultimately makes that your fault.
