Healing.
We, each of us, use surfing to help with life’s various lows. There is something cathartic in jumping into the drink, paddling, catching, standing, blow-tail reversing. Something healing. The world’s greatest athlete, Kelly Slater, revealed yesterday that he used surfing to fill a giant void in his heart and, today, we learn that pop sensation Shakira is using the same too in order to spackle her own ticker back together.
The “hips don’t lie” songstress has been tied to Spanish football stud Gerard Pique except the happy coupling came to a sudden end, recently, with speculation running wild that he was not true and other, less salacious, gossip suggesting the split is due financial reasonings. Specifically, that Pique asked Shakira to invest in something-rather-else but the two don’t mix monies and so Shakira became frustrated.
Whatever the case, Colombian compatriot Carlos Vives said, “She is sad. I was definitely sad, it’s a very tough time when you have such a beautiful family.”
Ah, but surfing. Shakira is said to be on a surf vacation in northern Spain, Oyambre Beach to be exact, and absolutely ripping, healing. You may also recall that she recently attempted to make connection with the aforementioned Slater via Instagram.
Might he join her or is northern Spain too much like Brazil for him? MagicSeaweed is claiming solid 3 – 5ft surf. That’s 20 – 35ft Surfline.
Punchy.
Back to you, though. What interior pain do treat with surfing?
Grouchiness?
Nice.

Is northern Spain too much like Brazil for him?
Well he didn’t skip the country year after year when they had the event at Mundaka there so that answers that question.
I use surfing to deal with any pesky career opportunities
the thing had no acetol!
Shakira is definitely at the top of the Beach Grit Celebrity Surfer power rankings for me.
You have Piqued my interest. Is Spackle still a thing??
The hips may have given her a career but don’t they work against her in surfing? Narrow hips prevail, no?
don’t shoot me, i’m only the plagiarizer of fine dance moves (not very work friendly, but its OK for kids?)

That board looks perfect for a surfing suicide of an evening, here in The Land of Big Noahs.
Chas, you live in the US. Stop calling that pussy-ass, injury faking, joke of a sport football. Its called soccer in this country and any football player worth a shit would never fake injury. But in soccer it is not only encouraged, its rewarded by a game stoppage and no repercussions.
NOTE: this applies to mens soccer only, the women don’t fake injuries yet.
yeah coz football is that thing you play w your hands & an ovoid…
You are the first person I have ever seen/heard use the word ovoid. Hats off to you.
Better than calling it football but kicking it with your head I suppose.
Northern Spain will be far to cold for him! But if Shakira is looking for a surf partner who appreciates her poo stance and isn’t afraid of the cold she can hit me up in the DMs!
Jimmy, you’re a saint.
any thoughts on the recently posted parade dance move…if not, go fuck yourselves…
“all we are saying is give peas a chance…”
