It should come as absolutely no surprise that yet another door in our world is being busted down by Australia’s Ian Cairns. The big wave legend and founder of professional surfing as we know it has never faced a challenge that he could not overwhelm by either brains or brawn or a combination of the two and now the Bronzed Aussie is set to host the very first surf film watch party in Mark Zuckerberg’s Metaverse.
That film, of course, the award-winning documentary Bustin’ Down the Door featuring Shaun Tomson, starring Eddie Rothman and the aforementioned Cairns plus Rabbit Bartholomew and many others.
Cairns says of the watch party, which is hosted by surfing.com in the Party.Space metaverse on Saturday, April 23 at 5:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM PT (9:00 PM UTC), “This is going to be historic for the surf industry. In the metaverse, you will be able to mingle with all the guests and speakers, play games, ask questions, and view the movie on the big screen just like you were at an IRL party.”
Alla Koretsky, CEO of HeyLayer, the NFT marketplace for Surfing.com’s Wave Riders Club NFT launch says, “Everyone at the watch party is approachable. They’ll all be there not only to watch this great film, but to take part in surfing history,” with Chris Almida, Surfing.com Cofounder adding, “What a great way to get people frothing for this NFT drop the following Tuesday by giving a sneak peek at some of the incredible artwork.”
My main question is, how will Ian Cairns look in the metaverse? Popping with muscles striking terror into hearts or an approachable huggy bear ready for love?
A sexy beast ready for anything (see above)?
Something a little more… provocative?

Maybe metaverse will have surf spots that people can surf virtually instead of clogging real lineups. I actually hope metaverse becomes increasingly popular. Less people enjoying the real world the better.
So I take it Eddie is supplying the party snacks.
To really cap-off the experience, the ‘party’ should be a massive paddle-out with everyone wearing waterproof VR headsets, while a nearby boat beams the Meta juice live by Bluetooth. They can all sit around on their chosen watercraft, virtually chatting, as if they were really right next to each other.
Which, they probably would be.
Like. Literally.
Right next to each other.
Love that you had to make up the last bit. No one has hassled a mother because of an unmasked toddler. So full of shit…and frightened.
Segregate the black people again. Make lunch at the diner safe again!
Haha. Fuck this is the dumbest old man take I’ve ever heard. Retarded as fuck.
HA!
Yeah. You never hear boomers whine about anything! Oh wait…
Metaverse? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon
Buckfast and mushies FTW.
I still dont get why we have two tours. Just seed the top guys into later rounds.
Sounds, “Historic”.
Seriously WTF if you going to go in the Metaverse to have experiences – fucking stay in there
When did these idiots stopped launching new things and started dropping them instead?
Fuck these neologisms.
‘Dropping them’ like hot turds, doody-dude! Cowabunghole!
Back to the grim future
This will be as historic for the surf industry as Captain Cook “finding” the “Sandwich Islands”
what’s your favorite right on the Sandwich Islands? Don’t worry, just between us, no one will go looking.
Mines a BLT thanks.
Oh wait. That wasn’t your question, was it?
The right to smash acai bowls on steps in major wsl drama, captured by Apple TV camera & boom crew. Also the right to arm bears
Metaverse? WTF? I’m just gonna duck dive it.
why is everyone today so scared of history?
Oh, you mean empty waves and freedom without traffic. No wonder the kids don’t wanna hear about it.
Margo, Linda Davoli, Rell….. weren’t too many pretties on the NS in those days.
Skynet knew that pure force was never going to be enough. There had to be another way. A way that convinced the humans this was what they wanted.
How does one partake in this party? Is it a Matrix style thing or Johnny Mnemonic or don your headset and big gloves a la Lawnmower man? Plain weird if you ask me. Some individuals must be getting paid some serious money to do it, because even I with my kinda loose morals would need a hefty sum to agree. It’s less of evolving with the times and more undoing of personal pride.
you take the blue pill, or maybe it was the red one. just take them both to be sure.
Does the metaverse have mass shootings, a la an American mall?
Guns are life in the Right hands.
Nothing else matters, Jeebus approved.
Don’t worry, the virtual assault weapons will be stopped by the Positive Wall of Noize that the Ian and Shaun will generate through the conversion of NFTs to crypto to Positive Vibez©
