Rastafari.
The Santa Ana winds are buffeting Southern California, baking the dry land with hot hot heat. Perfect beach weather and many are escaping to the cool Pacific including Hollywood actress and Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ fiancée Shailene Woodley.
The Last Letter from your Lover star wowed the paparazzi with her checked green bikini but surfboard watchers were left stunned by her choice of craft.
Trigger warning.
The culturally appropriated color way Wavestorm.
As you know, the world’s most popular surfboard comes in classic blue and white, less common blue green and white, racially insensitive red, green and yellow.
The “Rasta” is a bold choice on any beach but rolling one out at Malibu, near the very center of modern woke, has been characterized as “radical” and “cancelable-adjacent.”
Rodgers’ Packers are hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers tomorrow and he was unavailable for comment.
The Packers feature yellow and green. The Steelers yellow and black.
Both mostly safe.

Tom Brady should be ashamed of himself when he looks or facing Aaron Rogers because Aaron has a younger and much better looking woman then Tom Brady and Shailene is a blonde American woman while Giselle Bunchen is a Mexican Latino with faked blonde and horse face.
Yeah, not what I would call sizzling
Everything woke turns to shit……
“enviable beach body”
Aaaaaron rodg could do better me thinks but then again the guy seems like a genuine POS

Haile “Wavestorm” Selaise
Lee “Catch Surf” Perry
Augustus “Softech” Pablo
Bunny “INT” Wailer
All agree softboards are highest of high, king of Kings, JAH Rastavichfari!!!!
No article about surf and Rastas is complete without a Joel Tudor interview. You failed Chas
breaking news. she’s msa and takes what she wants.
This makes me want to paint my log rasta and go surf Malibu! Should I wear pleated shorts over my wet suit?
Chasloid magazine…please, anyone give us some real grit content…( not GG/Hobb )
Real question here is which wag will best this effort by taking the KP confederate Morey for a scoop out the wedge?
Unfuckingbelievable
Rally round the VAL
Rally round the red
Gold black and green (Wavestorm)
This is neither anti-woke nor cultural misappropriation.
It’s obviously an advertisement for the popular Malibu trend of legal weed.
This little known actress is no-doubt sponsored by Mrs. Chas Smith’s little known cannabis company…
Beef & Beer & Bud
To bring it back to anti-depressive matters. Ya fuckin Yinzer. Fuck you Cheesehead.
You a Steel Curtain, Lem?
Field Grit
Grit-iron
Soft spot for Seahawks and Dolphins. Seattle for the music. Miami because a girl I worked with brought back a Dolphins t-shirt for me after a trip to the US. (Orange made my youthful tan pop…)
It’s this kinda shit that makes me miss Beach Grit waiting until at least Black Girls Surf Rhonda Harper got offended about whitey’s black culture indulgences before addressing such “crimes” against humanity.
You clearly aren’t a Rastafarian.
I have Bob Marley’s “Legend” CD. Don’t be questioning my rasta street cred.
Mea culpa, mon.
….one love <blam blam=”” blam=””> one hear <boom boom=””>t…<pop pop=”” pop…..let’s=”” get=”” to=”” <magazine=”” replacement=”” sound,=”” charging=”” handle=”” sound=””> get her and feel alright…
The only “reggae” album that could give you less creds would be Electric Avenue.
If this is a race to the bottom, I’d offer a raise in the stakes with UB40 Red Red Wine.
Fair point.
Big mountains cover of baby I love your way.
I know fair well this is Beachgrit and as a regular commentor i am the last in the disgusting centipede of surf / media / vaguely controversial issue related filth and i have no dignity left…
But…
Fuck you guys and this shit excuse for an article.
Look what you’ve done to my Sunday morning.
Aren’t you just a little impressed?
I don’t even know who these people is… na’msayin.
Bad BG is Better Than No BG. Like bad weed + bad waves.
But having no woman is better than having a bad woman and is nothing to cry about. Didn’t Marley have something to say about that? But a good woman (i.e., good boobs, good brain, good heart, and beach minded) is rare. And I’m lucky to found a good one, a keeper. And she even likes my writing, or so she says. I think she just says it so there’s peace in the home. Oh well, can’t win them all.
Having read, reread, analysed and reread again, consulted with experts and finally reread again, the words, the structure and the space in between have come alive and now it sings with the glory of angels and the grace of god.
That’s what I thought too.
