Flirting with danger.
In a shocking turn of events, Business Insider is reporting that Tik Tok users have set a “thirst trap” for Japan-by-way-of-Huntington-Beach’s Kanoa Igarashi after his silver medal winning performance at the Tokyo Olympics and that he has fallen directly in.
@fatasswhitegirl took to the popular social media platform and wrote, “Thank you japan for putting surfing in the olympics,” before cutting to images of Igarashi holding his surfboard, with his silver medal etc.
Igarashi, very excited, responded to @fatasswhitegirl by reposting her video as a “duet” adding his own self saying, “Hey that guy looks familiar,” and also, “Just doing my morning scroll on tik tok and found myself,” including a laughing emoji and a crying laughing emoji.
Not knowing what a “duet,” I asked my eight-year-old daughter who told me, “It’s a video but you press duet and then it splits the two videos from yours and the other person’s. Like someone does a dance then a dance then a dance then a dance but that’s not a duet, that’s a chain.”
Like this…
“Thirst traps,” in any case may be deadly but also could maybe lead to true love. BeachGrit will be diligent in keeping up with the progress of Igarashi and @fatasswhitegirl’s relationship.
More as the story develops.
Haoles ruin everything
LOL this guy sounds like a boomer, that is not what a thirst trap is. Also Kanoa is taken.
Skirt tail rider!
…ok
BUY HERE! (anyone know how to italicize in bold with underscores?)
Tik tok is facial recognition software for the chinks. Dont use it.
China Shmina.
Chuck Fina.
China and America are exactly the same size: 3.7 million square miles.
Imagine America with 1.1 billion more people.
Would that work?
No, it wouldn’t small is beautiful.
China is a grotesquely overpopulated country desperate to feed its people every day.
So they eat bats, and launch pandemics and cause more deaths and do more economic damage than if they had started World War III.
I don’t know why China isn’t being held accountable for all the damage they have caused.
Chuck Fina.
America Uber Alles.
It’s not the size of the country Ben, it’s the political regime.
I can at least feel empathy for the Russians, they revolted against the Tzar and Communism was the best they could think of an no-one had tried it before.
The Chinese are different, everyone knew by 1948 that Communism was just a publicity stunt to justify totalitarianism. And the Chinese lapped it up because throughout history they have been happy to be subjugated because at their heart they are meek. If they had any wherewithall athey’d have overthrown the commies when Mau tried his great leap forward. Useless sort cocks all of them.
“On China” by Kissinger is a very good read, though Henry kisses Mao’s arse way too much.

Don’t forget to factor in Uncle Len! Sure you’re not Ace? That smart equation sounds really smart…
I’ll have to wait for my 8yo to get home to explain this shit, cause I’ve got donuts.
That video is the best thing about this story
Volcom Pipe Pro used to score mental waves every year too but I don’t know if its happening anymore.
Still have no clue what a Tic Tok is and still don’t much care
It’s a breath mint, but that makes your breath smell bad instead of good.
Rather confusing this tictok stuff
Intriguing. We should crowd fund these visionaries so they can purchase the WSL, and rebrand it.
If this article was click-bait for anyone who hates Kanoa, it sure worked
Basically sounds like a day at Tourmaline in the “Early ‘1990’s!?”
Ya meant to call him Igarashi Kanoa these days, not the other way around.
They said so on the Olympics, and that’s the peak of all competitive surfing and officially sanctioned identities…
It’s a French thing , and seeing as French is the official language of
Les Jeux olympiques de Tokyo 2021.
You shall now be known as Beer n Beef for the next week until the games are officially over.
Tokyo 2020!
Yes ! T’eddy would Know … I experience the same problem with Euro 2020 in 2021 … thanks for correcting me champ .
Got your back bruv!
A perfect example of what I meant, T !
To be fair, @fatasswhitegirl looks to be very cute. I would’ve done the same, but hopefully in a less self concious, less fuckwitty manner.
That’s a premium tiktok handle. Someone needs to grab it on here
Lemme just grab my grabbin’ stick, youngen!
Hello sailor!
Is this her?
Lil cutie!

She’s a damn imposter!
I had no idea that duet and chain videos exited.
People have too much time on their hands …
Excess calories are a wonderful thing. We’re at the pinnacle of Maslow’s hierarchy and get the clapper, troll dolls, tik tok, and hula hoops.
See, this is why I read BeachGrit
BGs comments are like a written chain video.
Layer , upon layer , upon layer
For sure, who wants to read about all the pros that are below the cutoff line on the pro tour with two events left.
Which is interesting – what are woozl going to do ? Keep the cut at 22 and replace with the top qs ? As per normal. Many haven’t been able to travel so that would mean a lot of Australians and some US would qualify I guess. Don’t know how brazzos would qualify or euros for that matter. Anyone know ?
Expanded version of Ultimate Surfer?
Best I can tell is that after the finals at Trestles, surfers that fell off have to surf in France and the Triple Crown to re qualify. Other weird Stuff, the Pipe Masters isn’t even listed on the WSL calendar, but a “pipe pro” minor QS contest is.
Definitely an * year for the qs replacements.
We might get stuck with Mikey for ever til Dirk pulls the pin ….
Should make Chopes interesting. Hope it’s twelve feet.
Aaaaannndd then the finale !
The five get to hack up Lowers. Great … not.
What a fucken fail.
The surf world deserves a pumping Chopes event… after all we’ve been forced to endure these last couple years.
Amen.
7-12 feet with 17 foot sets?
I think they should be more worried about how many of the top 22 will have quit by then
Pro Surfing. IS SO YESTERDAY …..Is this BMX Grit …Well if not it should be ! Now that we are Olympic Champions in BMX may I suggest that Australian Surfing Is DEAD ….so stop right now , get out of the water , ON YOUR BIKE NOW , and follow Nicole Kidman and the BMX Bandits to FUTURE GLORY , in Paris 2024 , while annoying the shit out of Surfing’s Spawn ,Skateboarders at a park near you .

It’s like a child-friendly version of Puberty Blues.. without the heroin overdoses and sexual assault
and Occy ….. I was on the beach at Cronulla the day they filmed his Cameo role with “ Chicks don’t Surf “ .
Here he is with Richard James , Michael Jackson and Beaver ….part of a rat pack of super talented kids .

This whole website is one long, drawn out duet that runs in circles.
Roundabouts and rollercoasters!
Really!.? You actually read it?
