"The world is finally ready for us."
“Patron Saint of VALs” and new Malibu local Jonah Hill recently celebrated his status with a Brothers Marshall inspired “Body Love” tattoo.
The logo, lightly borrowed from Body Glove, features the iconic yellow hand except not in its classic style but making the sign language gesture for “love.”
Comments on Hill’s Instagram page were universally positive. @kookoftheday weighed in, hoping that the star of Superbad might consider a KOTD tattoo next. Famous surf water photographer Daniel Russo replied, “Should have gotten one that says ‘soft top’ instead.” Renzo Gracie from Brazilian jiu-jitsu fame shared bumping knuckles emojis and Zoe Kravitz said, “Yesssssssss.
The wonderful Brothers Marshall, Trace and Chad, shared that they drew up the logo in the early 2000s and are happy that it has found a wonderful permanent home, telling BeachGrit, “The world is finally ready for us,” which brings up a very important question.
If you were going to tattoo one surf logo onto thyself, what would it be?
Gotcha’s fishman?
The Hurley H?
Quiksilver’s mountain and wave?
Billabong’s Billabong?
A funny twist on a classic like Jonah Hill, Santa Brewz instead of Santa Cruz for example?
Many choices.

I also think he’s becoming the new normal. In the Land of Kooks, the two year Kook is King.
And … another fucking reason why hollywood should stay the fuck out of politics and public policy… dumb cunts the whole lot.
Rule 2 don’t be a Jonah…Rule 1 don’t get inked!..Rule 3 own it?
2 in the thoughts, 1 in the prayers
hahahaha
that tatt is hyper cringe, but his total lack of fucks is quite refreshing.

You could possibly get away with the old hang 10 logo and not look like a kook. Possibly.
The golden breed logo is probably far more popular than we think, especially with minor edits.
After a few rums,asked my missus what she thought of the jellyfish tattoo I was going to get.
L https://uploads.disquscdn.c… ucky I took her advice for once!
Frankie Oberholtzer got the search logo tattooed on his ankle.
I have a friend who got that thing in the tramp stamp version, not a chickie.
Ma iggerrs
WOW.
yeah he lived it (with Curren before major internet, social media, etc.)… that’s fitting.
Body Clown
Body Flub
I hope he still has time for movies

Maybe… but just maybe…
Jonah “The King Of The” Hill, should take over the WSL… and become the bridge that will unite competitive surfing with soul surfing… competitive surfers with soul surfers.
That will unite that boring young lady Noah Deane with that old competitive and grumpy hag Shaun Tomson, and their respectives…
Maybe Jonah “The King of The” Hill, is the harmonious linking element that will allow VALS, locals, and the good regular surfer, to hug each other in the water, like brothers, and together share the same waves!
Maybe… maybe… I’m a dreamer…
By the way… The soul surfer… attempting the progressive way… the regular guy

Jonah, if you are reading this: go rent a house for a few months somewhere very warm, where you can surf every single day for hours and hours (you’ll build up to it) and before you know it, you’ll be A: not a kook, and B: not wobbly fat.
i was thinking the same thing.. if i were rich (and didn’t have a rat load of cling ons, living off of me, animals and kids alike) I would be in some deserted place practicing my craft daily. trying not to drink to much.
Hahaha, genuine good laugh, thank you.
No Fear
I have been seriously considering getting Matt, Jack and Leroy tattooed on me. That, or Bear saying “That’s just the lemon next to the pie”, or “Oh, no — Not me, I’m just a garbage man”. Getting a bit old for new tattoos though.

Imagine my joy when I first saw this movie, and William Katt, and Jan Michael Vincent were in it. The Greatest American Hero (I’m Australian, so something went wrong there, and the Airwolf dude. Both heavy childhood idols
And Gary Busey, the FBI agent who took Johnny Utah under his wing.
Busey was classic.
Wait, that was another movie.
Point Dume or something….but ya, Busey was in Big Wednesday, the Masochist.
The book is pretty good also, a little hard to find, but probably worth it. I’ve read it a couple of times.
There’s a quote in the front of the book, “when boards were made of wood–and surfers were made of iron”,
I think would be in contention, but I like the garbage man quote too.
Might make a good t-shirt.
Looking at that pic of Jonah, I think that should be ‘When boards were made of squishy foam, and the surfers were made of squishier flab.’
Yes, not bad.
I think the original quote, was speaking of a time long past.
I think,
“now boards are made of soft tops–and surfers are even softer”,. is fitting also.
I know a guy who got the Hot Tuna logo tattooed. He was 16 at the time. This was in 1994, before tatts were everywhere. Dude could barely surf either.
Gnarly, did he do it himself?!
Nah. he also got a picture of King Neptune from the front of of an O’Neill video tattooed. I think he had some biker do it. Pretty sure that guy is dead now.
here’s a dodging a bullet story: me and a buddy decided to get tatts, his was some kind of lizard but I designed my own drawing, a mashup of the Lownenbrau logo with dolphins swimming around it-we were on the way to the tatt shop in Oxnard, we got cold feet and he did a wild illegal U turn on highway 1! we went home and drank a sixer and lived to see another day tatt-less! pheww
Dude. You didn’t dodge a bullet. That Lowenbrau tattoo sounds amazing!
Lowie used to taste pretty good, “here’s to good friends..”

nice! made my day, kind of pogues- y even
The whole album is fucken amazing.
Green bottles clinkin’
did you see the Johnny Depp doco on the pogues? I haven’t found it yet
thats a negative.
Some of the tattoos I saw during my military Service were insane. I wonder how those Gentlemen feel with those now!? (fuck you on the top of the head) (two bees missing stingers at waistline, and two stingers on dick head) so on
Ooft. tragic. I want more military stories now.
Human traffickers in Roppongi , Olongopo, and Hong Kong used a certain tattoo. Of course, thats an international secret that the woke crowd seem to overlook
curious…what was the tattoo? And how many navy ships were actually running drugs, if at all, back in the 80s/early 90s?
Mate of mine was in the Canadian army. For some reason they did joint exercises with the Russians. Woke up hungover as fuck with SPETZNATZ tattooed on his bicep (Russians drugged him and got him tattooed for the lols) . It looks totally shit. I would have got it covered over.
Not sure if it was you who was talking about betting on the park skating but saw pics of the bowl and its huge with a lot of vert. Has Pedro Barros written all over it.
Fillabong…only a tattooed surfer knows the feelling!
I played footy with a bloke in Bali with a Hot Tuna tatt. Were his initials CJW and from the Terrigal region?
