Heavy slam.
Core surfers found an unlikely ally in the ongoing war against cheaply made soft-top surfboards. The Wavestorm front has witnessed victory after victory since the beginning of the Covid epidemic with that Costco bestseller, and others of its ilk, clogging lineups around the globe leaving the aforementioned grumpy local low and sad, sunk to mid-chest on his pointy thruster.
But maybe a turn in tide?
Coming absolutely out of the blue, Jenna Bush, ex-United States President George W. Bush’s daughter, viciously and publicly savaged her twin sister and own two young daughters for participating in the soft-top life.
In a post to Instagram featuring the Bush twins and girls standing on the beach in wetsuits surrounding two large soft-tops with a third lying flabby on the sand.
It was simply titled “Sissy Surfing!”
While the word “sissy” has fallen out of fashion, being identified as “sexist” in guidance issued to United Kingdom schools and described as “just as unacceptable as racist and homophobic language,” in the United States, Bush’s message was loud and harshly clear.
Will the slur be enough to retard soft-top sales?
Fingers, everywhere, are crossed.

proper use of ‘hybrid’ is approved at the highest levels of security…
Hybrid…will succeed
In the
Coliseum,shore pound is questionable…Sissy is a southern term for sister…
Yeah, seems like she was just saying, “Hey, my sisters are surfing!” and not, “My sisters are gay and weak!” like Chassola Smith is implying.
They’ve probably surfed once and are running into themselves and other people. Don’t know about you but I prefer being hit by people on soft boards who are learning. Who gives a shit what learners are using? No other sport cares so much about people buying cheap and easy to use gear before investing in something better once they commit to it
What the hell did Ms Spacek do to young Bush to cause this slander?!?
What does Ben Marcus think?
he thinks down of us
I hope the next article about her, is her getting beaten underwater at W’n’Sea!!
Not the heroine we need but the heroine we deserve.
Considering the amount of time the Bush twins have spent partying it up, they’d surely know sissy from nonsissy surfing cos of all those hardcore Floridian spring break surfer dudes that their security detail were always having to drag off them…
sixty30 years on…(Elton John)You said retarded and sissy, but I’m not triggered at all.
Sissy surfing….isnt that what Pip was doing at Teahupoo
When safety surfing goes next level.
wore helmets in the H2O, brand-labeled hats for the pic!
