Happy Thanksgiving!
Well it is Thanksgiving, in America, and there is much to be thankful for including, but not limited to, Kelly Slater, Jonah Hill, Great White Sharks and you. How will you spend the day? With friends and loved ones? Watching football? Drinking natural wines?
I spent Thanksgiving-eve chatting with David Lee about the fine traditions surrounding the holiday, like stuffing, and also the not so fine ones, like eating at the very strange time of 2:00 in the afternoon.
We also discussed how Ben Gravy has officially become the world’s most popular surfer. Did you see that one coming? I sure didn’t but apparently it is true as evidenced by South Carolina surf shops that play his vlogs on loop, sell his soft-tops by the pallet-load and also many of his trademark chill pineapple logo’d tee shirts.
Very cool but I had an even cooler idea. Gravy should take some of his riches, go out and sponsor the likes of Clay Marzo, Laurie Towner and other such under-appreciated talents.
Surfer on surfer sponsorship.
A good idea, no?
There are more good ideas in the show but I can’t remember what they are right now.

Clay Marzo for the 2022 wildcard.
Well since Clay Marzo has Catch Surf pro models coming out next summer and Gravy is sponsored by Wave Bandit, owned by Catch Surf…….. are you connecting any dots yet???
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it Riding the Gravy Train
That was my favorite Ozzie song.
Ooh, I like this game.
Who would you prefer to host for thanksgiving dinner…
Derek Reilly or Chas Smith?
OttoBeenThere or Occ Topus?
Bexy or Surfads?
Beef and Beer for me … as long as he brings gifts…
Ben Marcus … anyone?
The whole cast!
That’s a superb thought. Individuals as the new powerhouses in the industry. Maybe JOB could get in on the act too and share the wealth?
Who knows pro adjacent surfers better than other pro adjacent surfers?
Exactly!
you sure it wasn’t “roast”?
Of course Rogan would be a more popular guest. He can self fellate. But after the magic of that parlor trick he’d start rambling on about how hunting your own meat is soooo sustainable and more healthy. He’d probably forget to mention that his hunting excursions cost several thousand dollars.
Happy Thanksgiving, BG e-family!
I’ll be spending the day surfing a little known spot here on BI… should be well overhead and uncrowded. Later, my honey and I will have TG dinner at the Kona Inn. Life is good.
Amen!
Barrel or nah? DLS using the word ‘asinine’ at every given opportunity because he only recently learned what it means?
That used to be Chas’s domain
One of my pet turkeys says “Gidday” to all you American BGers https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Gobble gobble motherfukka’s!
