Humble surf podcast sparks beautiful movement culminating in October 6th officially and forever being declared “Carissa Moore Day!”

An overwhelming sense of love.

David Lee Scales and I were chatting, as surfing’s grand Olympic debut culminated some few months ago, when I brought up the need for “Carissa Moore Day.” Or maybe David Lee Scales brought it up. In either case, the Hawaiian surfer has done it all, multiple Association of Surfing Professionals and World Surf League titles, first-ever Olympic gold, forcing a premium surf magazine to make an embarrassing apology, and deserves a day.

Well, the humble surf podcast episode somehow made it all the way across the ocean and somehow into the ears of Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi who somehow recognized the error of his ways and, forthwith, declared October 6 as “Carissa Moore Day.”

Moore, gracious as ever, declared, “I’m so honored to be here. I’ve felt this outpouring and overwhelming sense of love from my community, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without all those people, without all that love,” before adding, “It’s my hope that anyone that is young and chasing their dreams that they know that anything is possible if they work hard and they put their heart and mind to it.”

She did not mention The Grit! nor did she need to for we toil for the sake of toiling.

During yesterday’s toil with David Lee, anyhow, I also disparaged Gerry Lopez’s great legacy.

Win some, lose some.

Even the promise of hearing potential Lopez disparagement isn’t enough to get me to listen to a potential ballet dancer and his whiny office boy mate with a combined record low score on Derek’s new wrestling fitness JJF wrist watch thingamajig…

If all the Facebook bro can come up with re: positives of the platform is that it connects people with long lost relatives and that it helps the ‘creator economy’ then they’re more fucked than I thought.

The whole conglomerate needs to go in the bin

I’m going to start a competitor called ‘phone book’ – it does the same things for free but won’t create a hyper capitalist digital serfdom that corrodes the very fabric of society

No. I find that usually if something gets banned for being shit it just comes back under a new name and is even shittier
