Celebrity author of Miki Dora bio David Rensin on the fetishisation of a flawed soul, Dora’s supersonic criminal life and Leo DiCaprio optioning the movie rights to it all, “Was Miki an asshole? At times. Racist? I don’t think so”

Was he or wasn’t he? Nazi bastard or button pusher?

Today’s guest on Dirty Water is celebrity author Davis Rensin, whose book All For a Few Perfect Waves laid out, without exaggeration or censure, the supersonic life of Malibu anti-hero Miki Dora.

Rensin transcribed one million words in the pursuit of the truth, relatively speaking of surfing’s great Voodoo God, a man who was style in the water, suits out of it, convertibles, Hollywood and movie stars.

Dora was also a thief, a scammer and an impossible loner who travelled the world chasing adventure and empty waves, his only real friend a King Charles spaniel called Scooter Boy.

A couple of years back, The New York Times ran a piece called The Long Strange Tale of California’s Surf Nazis which held Dora as the poster-boy for white supremacism in surfing.

Dora often used racial slurs and advised acquaintances to put all their money in gold before Mexicans and blacks poured over the borders and ruined the economy. While serving prison time, Dora (who had been convicted of both check and credit-card fraud) wrote to a friend that he loved American Nazis. Dora eventually relocated to apartheid-era South Africa.

In a 1975 interview with Phil Jarratt, Dora, who acted as a surf double on a couple of Hollywood beach films said, “The Jews come down to the beach, they shoot their movie, sell it to the Kikes and they all make a pile of money.”

Dora.

Was he or wasn’t he?

Bored you yet you have responded to 5 of my messages. ahhahahahahah

JohnsKnees

Crazy thought….not everyone bends over for each President. Like I said earlier which you ignored…Both Presidents can be racist.

JohnsKnees

Provide you with the context you were bitching about and I’m intolerable?

At least I back up my shit with sources unlike you.

Otto

I suggest y’all on the Left get your house in order. Some of your professors, those who you hold in the highest regards, are dragging you all into being pedophiles.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/…

You sick fuck.

Hot stuff

There’s so much smoke and so much fire in liberal hell.
Also the guy the MSM is crying about in kenosha, served time for sodomy on children. Another BLM piece of shit like that Floyd piece of shit.

Otto

Yep. He raped five boys. And the MSM call him a hero. Depraved hearts on the Left. All of the them. Every single one.

Hot stuff

It’s not right.

JohnsKnees

I don’t know her thought process just telling you she admitted to making a mistake, its not like Kenya was pulled out of a hat, he does in fact have ties to Kenya via his father.

Miriam Goderich edited the text of the bio; she is now a partner at the Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its current clients.

“This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me–an agency assistant at the time,” Goderich wrote in an emailed statement to Yahoo News. “There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more.”

Still waiting on your sources regarding the legality of looking up his birth certificate, im assuming ill be waiting quite some time since its been two responses from you and 0 sources.

For the last time its not a damn bio, it was an editorial pamphlet that was not written by him. You would be surprised how many author bios are not written or sourced by the author.

JohnsKnees

I literally posted the video with full context, you dunce.

JohnsKnees

Yet that is the one you cling to, you cant even defend the other things he’s done.

JohnsKnees

I’m not omitting anything. I pointed out moments when he has sided with White Nationalist.

He did say “there are very fine people on both sides”
https://www.youtube.com/wat…

He also tweeted a video of a a guy yelling white power. Hard to pull up his tweet since he’s suspended but here is the video of that….https://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF_... what context is needed there?

Stand back and stand by: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

If you don’t think any of that rhetoric shows sympathy towards white supremacists that’s on you.

There’s also these moments that I left out.

There is also the time he took out full page ads calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5 who were acquitted of all crimes.

“I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks,”

““I have black guys counting my money. … I hate it,” “The only guys I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes all day.”

Here is a wild thought, both Trump and Biden might be racist, and maybe we shouldn’t have people who lived through segregation laws as Presidents?

JohnsKnees

Did you not read what I wrote earlier? When did he say he was from Kenya? The shit that whats his name was talking about was in the printed pamphlet that the editors wrote not anything written by him. I can’t believe its 2021 and we are still discussing if Obama was born here or not. Wild. Secondly, were discussing Trump’s racist comments and thats the biggest bone to pick for you right wingers?

Again, send me a source on everything you quoted and we can have a proper discussion.

Jack Barlow

Obama’s birth certificate is available on line.

https://obamawhitehouse.arc…

Kapiolani Hospital was started by Queen Kapiolani and has always had her name

JohnsKnees

None of the shit I posted I came across in the Media, it literally came out of his fucking mouth. I literally watched it with my own two eyes when watching his press conferences. I don’t watch CNN or MSNBC or any cable news for that matter.

JohnsKnees

His father was from Kenya, not exactly “out of his (its a she) ass.” Ya…im gonna need to see a source on everything you just quoted.

party of common sense

That’ s Jerry, not Gerry… check your autographed wool socks you got when you went to see him speak

party of common sense

Thanks LGR

Otto

Why surf Baja?
Because it’s there, and I can.

party of common sense

you can do better than that Jackyouoff…….come on

Otto

If you’ve surfed Baja Malibu on a swell that has size, you can’t honestly say you didn’t get your ass kicked paddling out nor when you pulled into a close out barrel or had to straighten out on a late drop. For a beach break, it’s a wave of consequence. If you wanna claim you didn’t get rolled in the whitewash there, either you’re a liar, or you surfed it 1′-3′ which just isn’t surfing that place when it’s pumping.
So, are you a liar, or was it small when you surfed Baja Malibu?

Jack Barlow

When did you become a surfer?
That’s a new one

Otto

I’m not a “surfer”. I surf, and have surfed since the 70’s. People that refer to themselves as “surfers” are the biggest dorks. You surf from day one that you surfed. You either keep surfing or you don’t. No one ever becomes a “surfer”. And I suggest you never tell people you’re a “surfer”. Shit fuck howdy, that’d benefit you none. And there’s no such thing as “Professional Surfers”. Those people are well paid advertising models that surf.

Jack Barlow

Lol

Otto

I knew it. You go around claiming you’re a “surfer” don’t you? Maaan, you have slight mental retardation if you spewing crap like that. Get your act together Jack. You don’t know Jack shit.

Jack Barlow

Couch surfer since the 70s

party of common sense

haha….you can’t surf a shortboard…or a longboard……

party of common sense

you ride a longboard…a real longboard…..hahah

Otto

Like I said, you haven’t surfed Baja Malibu.
