World Surf League Final’s Day penciled in for Monday or Tuesday with large swell headed toward Lower Trestles; Brazilian surf fans threaten largest seaborne invasion in history: “The entire country is going to be down there on the beach!”

Order and progress.

But do you feel the tension? The fission? Strange days, yes, but also exciting ones to be alive and a fan of professional surfing. What is being described as a “substantial swell,” or in Surfline-speak “la bomba nuclear,” is currently making its way to Lower Trestles, home of Filipe Toledo’s “huge scuffle,” for the inaugural Final’s Day and wow just wow.

World Surf League CEO Erik Logan, Vans so clean he can see his own reflection in them, is certainly patting himself on the waxed back right now, congratulating himself for his foresight, his bold maneuvering, Gabriel Medina be damed.

And we will all be there, watching on computers and phones, cursing ourselves for loving it, cursing ourselves for wanting the aforementioned Gabriel Medina to both win and lose.

According to an overheard conversation between three Brazilian filmers on the path to Lower Trestles this very morning, however, the entire sovereign nation of Brazil is planning to be there, each man woman and child, on the beach.

“I got the best shots of Italo… It’s either Monday or Tuesday… The entire country is going to be down there.”

Wow.

Operation Neptune, which has come to be known as D Day, saw 24,000 Allied troops land on French beaches on June 6, 1944. Until now, it has been the largest seaborne invasion in history.

Brazil has a population of north of 213,000,000.

The Marines, at nearby Camp Pendleton, won’t stand a chance.

More as the story develops.

Conner has no business being anywhere close to Gabby for a title. Nor does Morgan. Shit, Slater’s Trestles footage from Black and White is still more compelling than anything Morgan or Conner did in this clip.

“From here on the hill you can see it so cool
what happens there on your coast
We like everything, we want more
From the top of the city to the edge of the pier
More than a good tan
we want to be on your side

We’re coming in without oil or cream
Needing, we squeeze
Bringing the farofa and the chicken
Also taking the phonograph
separate a place in this sand
we will shake your village

mix your ilk
Or run away
get out of ambush
jump in the bay
Now we are going to invade your beachmix your ilk

Or run away
get out of ambush
jump in the bay
Now we are going to invade your beach

your beach

Now if you’re gonna mind
So you better move
It’s no use even despising us
(If we get used to it, we’ll stay)
We’re looking for a change
And your beach comes in handy

no need to be nervous
you might find it tasty
Staying in such healthy company
It may even be highly recommendable to you
we can poke you
don’t be afraid it won’t hurt

mix your ilk
Or run away
get out of ambush
jump in the bay
Now we are going to invade your beach

Here you go Beefy. that first verse gets me every time. Back in the day before CDs were a thing, I put a stereo in my HR wagon that was worth more than the car. Much internal debate later to decide which cassette would be first to be played would be. I eventually picked a compilation tape and this song kicked off Side 1. So you brought up some warm fuzzies there.

The second version tells a story.

They (Alpine) were the fashion of the time, but I had a Sherwood unit and some speakers that started with a ‘C’. Both were US made and therefore weren’t as attractive to car thieves that were common on the Gold Coast point car parks.

The real shame was that if I had the fore sight to replace the spare tire well and fill it with a bass speaker, I could have been heard 5 miles away. The Sherwood had a very powerful pre-amp that pushed many more watts than it looked capable of.

Typo? Freudian slip? Do you think he will be made into a woman? I think he has a great chance of winning the comp. Whoever wins the ’21 World Title knows it will forever be marred by the asterisk of shame (courtesy of ELo/WSL).

Had to google opprobrium first. Thanks for the new word to the vocab.

Legitimately not trying to start shit in any direction. The vaccine/covid is another issue and I live in Central America where it’s not the main topic of anyone’s discussions.

I shared an honest comment in the aptly-named comment section and the author made a reply the same way. All good and appreciated his thought.

Bringing up anything related to nationalism, military, medicine, sex, surfing, WSL, sharks, Kelly Slater, guns, race, weather and climate, and Stab mag, starts shit on this site. Which is exactly what Chas and DR want. We’re all players in their game.
