When the wave breaks here... be back in Tulsa.
I am currently in Jackson Hole, Wyoming ahead of Natural Selection, the snowboard competition that the World Surf League should copy forthwith. More on that later, but regarding our WSL, extremely large surf has been pounding Oahu’s North Shore ahead of the Billabong Pro Pipeline Masters kickoff keeping the local lifeguards extremely busy.
Honolulu Ocean Safety Lt. Kerry Atwood told KHON News, “We’ve been busy. We’ve had multiple surfers at Waimea Bay needing assistance from our rescue unit and had to be brought back to the beach. And we did have a jet ski that got into some trouble earlier in the day in the Laniakea area.”
The outlet reported that as of 4:30 yesterday afternoon, lifeguards had saved 53 souls from drowning and made a further, whopping, 7000 “preventative actions” such as telling vulnerable adults to look but not touch etc.
“We’re not taking any chances today. We have caution tape up, signs posted, we have mobile patrols, lifeguards on ATVS, two rescue units actively patrolling the surf, one on land and lieutenants in trucks,” Lt. Atwood continued.
7000 warnings.
Could you imagine issuing 7000 warnings to befuddled Logans fresh off the plane from Oklahoma, eyes wide, bodies sheathed in neoprene suits of armor, ready to meet their destiny?
7000 warnings.
Wow.

Land lubbers always going to find trouble when Neptune spots them getting off the jet at Honolulu. This would appear to be a particularly big welcome to Paradise they received.
Why is the picture of the rock he’s not the lifeguard
If anyone else wants to tune in and drop out for a moment

Does writing BeachGrit count towards a days to-do list?
Fuck I was hoping this was finally the year when Medina and JJF would go head to head
That’s the ticket. Never seen the ocean before and just paddle straight out at Waimea haha I like it
Hot off the press. GABE MEDINA out to 2022 WSL campaign.
Yes, because they found the missing link, solved their problem with law of entropy, and discovered irreducible complexity does not exist in single cell animals. Evolution is science, Bwahahaha.
WTF?
Gabe just quit. Where’s the post?
Hero of the People.
In 2 weeks all the haters will be bitching about how boring this season is.
Hate to break the news to you Bex but he said he was all vaxxed and ready to go to Hawaii but decided against it.
He’s not a pure blood.
A nudge is as good as a wink.
And replaced by the people’s hero! You can’t script this
Yep, definitely flat

Careful Chas. The Village hasn’t been this dry and icy for decades. You might just get naturally selected yourself.

Balls swaddled in Hermes, tres sheik
Doubt she would let him stash his full growth man figs in her clutch do we?
Those silky smooth figs are most likely moisturized in frankincense and encased in pure silver silly putty egg cases. Only to played with on special occasions..
It’s forever
