Non sibi sed patriae.
The greatest viral clip of the year, which dropped a mere two days ago and taken social media by wind storm, is without doubt the short featuring an exchange between a livid seawoman and a gaggle of surfers in a San Onofre-adjacent parking lot.
At first blush, “Sailor Karen” gets filed under the modern comedy “angry white gal losing mind” as she lights into California-voiced males slowly egging her on but let’s examine more closely.

While context is obscured, we are all well aware of the car park lurkers, those surfers who mingle hours after their paddle has ended and talk and talk and etc. Beautiful folk, sometimes, but not always. Rarely in fact. Most times they are an annoying blight. A generally worthless appendage privileged enough to hang out beach-adjacent for hours. Stupid enough to do the same.
So imagine this crew was of the annoying blight varietal. Malingering etc.
Being vaguely worthless and here comes a mariner disgusted by their embarrassingly poor ship shapeliness. Also, her actual points were likely spot on. They had zero idea how the wind works. How to harness and employ. Hell, I bet not one of them could even spin an air reverse.
Oh they were begging for that tongue lashing, deserving of that tongue lashing, and we have been, perpetually, too weak to deliver but not Rear Admiral Karen.
She lit right in and put them in her place. She did it for us and should be praised.
Non sibi sed patriae.
but.. can they go left?
I thought this was dumb the 1st time I watched it but the 2nd and 3rd time I’m laughing my a** off! Am I a Surfer!
Justice 4 Karen. Or at least Benefitofdoubt4Karen.
Parking lot muppets are the worst.
Surfers are generally idiots.
And that’s the truth, Ruth.
And her name isn’t Karen it’s Popeye.!
I bet shes great in bed.

she has a sailor mouth indeed…
I would give that seawoman my semen. I’m intrigued by her energy.

Wait, isn’t the “hang” a big part of the Sano experience? Don’t tell my parents that. They spent the better part of 20 years doing just that.
All the yachtsmen I know get bent out of shape if I call them a sailor. Is she in the navy?
Thankfully Bells starts soon. Hoping Brutus will make an appearance here on bg for some local insight
Billabong to release hotly anticipated Parko x Sailor Karen collab trunks for summer. The trunks feature a space age 3x stretch fabric that goes deeper up the ass than previously thought to be scientifically possible.
She posted under the original Kook of the Day Instagram post. Her Instagram account is Ulikedat. I clicked into her profile, there was a timeline video where she was at another beach saying “we are taking this beach – this is ours – no men allowed!” So I surmise this is some feminist with a bee in her bonnet and the smiling guy in the background is the Waterman of the year!
Thank you for your service Jimmy for doing the dirt digging like a true investigative reporter. Nice work. You should be hired by BG to bring light to the issues that matter to us readers. Who is this Karen? What is her story? Exclusive interview with SeaKaren by Jimmy the Saint published on BG would blow doors on any shark or Whoop or COVID article. We are talking 100K comments on discus and millions of page views!!! The Holy Grail of content!!! SeaKaren interview could launch BG into the big leagues of serious investigative surf journalism.
Chas would be so jealous if you got the scoop on him. You have been tasked with your mission. Do not disappoint us. Inquiring minds want to know!!!
I can’t be moonlighting whilst off sick from my 9-5. There is an open goal here for any aspiring surf adjacent journalists!
Jimmy the Grit!
Jimmy Olsen!

ty for that mate, it made my sunday… (hmm sundae…)
Can also offer a selection of books written by Chas and DR
IF the BG journos don’t get the interview I will be wildly disappointed!
Thought a pensive post session chill w da boys as the sun fades was universally embraced by all surfers but Chas shows us its dark underbelly. Very sketchy characters indeed.
My favorite desciptors: Gaggle and for Karen: seawoman, mariner….bestowing on her the authority and respect that she most certainly deserves.

The hangers after the surf type are typically from three hours inland just trying maximise there investment in petrol or they are waiting for rain and a chance mudslide Parko’s hill, often both.
