Death, drugs, surf and training MMA fighters.
Today’s guest, Mr Peter Maguire, is a surfer, war crimes investigator and author of Thai Stick: Surfers, Scammers, and the Untold Story of the Marijuana Trade, Law and War – a book about the Nuremberg Trials, Facing Death in Cambodia, and Breathe, the new bio on jiujitsu icon Rickson Gracie.
Ain’t much he can’t do.
Petey made a fine cameo on BeachGrit one week ago with a piece on the chaotic American withdrawal from Afghanistan.
He describes Washington DC as a “shitshow”, snoozy Joe Biden as “overwhelmed, reactive, defensive”, his own books as “extremely depressing”, developed a military rescue boat along with George Greenough, has multiple black belts in the martial arts and gave a “competitive and aggressive” Kelly Slater his first-ever lesson in jiu-jitsu and is currently in the process of selling a screenplay on the discovery of G-Land.

‘stretched out’? Somebody at the grit has been watching too much porn.
Great listen
Been surfing since I was 6. Love it. Don’t bring dirty politics into something so clean. Thanks, Andrea
Well I did a slideshow for Dick a couple weeks ago and have his whole life in photos in my computer.
And it’s a pretty good life, going way back.
This is pretty good, if you have time:

Dick and the guy from Walker Foam and another guy at Huntington Pier

If y’all are wondering what happened to Chas’ head in that photo.
Well it went like this https://www.youtube.com/wat…
Montagnard story is epic. Those guys were legit
Dez, preparing himself for the Top Gun reboot
This better be good.
Yuk.
Great interview and I like Maguire but do ya think he could fit Rickson’s cock any further down his throat?

I think, between Peter and me it’ll be a lunge for the pipe and the subsequent gravy.
Really enjoyed this episode! Well before 9/11 I’d see the thickest guys running with full beards pounding it out at descent pace. Other times always alone and in pair of long speedo shorts would be Ivan w/ full beard no shirt running distance with speed. We now know what they were training for! Great waterman keeping Aloha spirit alive!
Good to have you back, I really enjoyed the political chats and and the way he always seemed to thread some surfing into the serious things he has been apart of, i reckon you should see if he wants to he a regular as it would be good to go deeper into his travels. Chas try not go so gooey with subjects you fan out on.
6 month hiatus and you guys come back with this…you guys have certainly eaten a dick with this one…
hoooray a surf podcast that is all politics…
You logged off before the dull MMA talk??
Uhh, Negs, do you have an alter-ego? There’s some cat over at the Wsl named Negatron also, dropping comments.
Just curious.
Why would you think it’s not me Freerider?
Here, twitter, FB, Insta, WSL.
Keen.
Do you own a cat, Sam?
Is it called “Da” or just “Mikilos”?
If I had a cat I’d call it samwaters, then Freerider on weekends on when it brought dead birds into the house.
He’s made a fake account to try and troll me. Unfortunately he’s to dumb for the long game, got excited and told me. Bad move.
Haha, honestly hilarious.
He’s top on my list for DW podcast guests.
How much time do they spend talking about that crap? If it’s more than 0 seconds I’m going to give the whole thing a miss.
Cripes Derek
You’ve had all this lockdown time to work out how to put Dirty Water on YouTube again.
What’s happening ?
These voice only podcasts aren’t half as good, well known fact, unless the latest electronic communication in ones home is a WW2 era wireless radio.
We all know that Chas isn’t exactly the loveliest thing to look at at the best of times but his Joey Turdpull adjacent annoyingly whiny nasal twang is worse than his creepy Mr. Burns/sunburnt Hitler/female Big Bird appearance, which would at least get a few extra punters. Just like the way it’s hard to stop looking at a large hairy mole on someone’s face etc.
Ya selling yaself short mate…
But, perhaps as I say to my wife about my own looks , this is as good as it’s gonna get baby !
Sorry. Who is this guy? I’ve only been surfing since 1978. Clearly he’s no Dick Metz.
Dick Metz to the dance floor.. Dick Metz to the dance floor..testing testing 1 2..
Chas , your starting to resemble a sunburnt Hitler.
Between this and Black Rubber’s female big bird crack, i have many laughs.
Seig Aloe !! Seig Aloe!!
Ouch!!
Not everybody can go face deep in toot, AND sit on a bar stool at “Applebee’s(?)” at his age. Relax, he’s got this.
Thanks, Valiant!
Was thinking more along the lines of a human cigarette, but I like ‘sunburnt Hitler’ way more lol
This is what happened to his head:
