Revealed: Laird Hamilton punching Kelly Slater in the mouth by releasing ecologically superior luxury watch directly related to unprecedented increase in surf violence!

The Misfits.

Two months ago, the headline Blood Feud: World’s Greatest Surfer Laird Hamilton Punches other World’s Greatest Surfer Kelly Slater in the Mouth by Releasing Even More Ecologically Sound Luxury Watch! rocked the internet. Surfers and non-surfers, alike, flocked in, not able to believe that Hamilton’s offering from relatively new brand Britain’s Bremont was, in fact, better for our planet earth than Kelly Slater’s own from more established Swiss-made Breitling.

While Slater’s did feature a band made from ocean junk on some models, all proceeds from Hamilton go toward preserving the great shark.

Right in the kisser.

Well, little did surfers and non-surfers know, at the time, but the blow felt ’round the world has led directly to a historically unprecedented spike in wanton surf violence. Foils getting smashed, foils smashing people, rocks into boards, police patrolling Windansea after alleged attempted drownings, calls for old-school enforcement, calls for regulation, surf champions being viciously and brutally spanked on the buttocks.

Out of control.

The only thing that could lead to such a bump is cover given by the two world’s greatest surfers metaphorically bashing each other in the luxury watch space.

David Lee Scales and I discussed this, on our weekly chat, and also the fantastic new Museu de Italo Ferriera.

I usually dont read your articles, they go on and on and on… but thats a funny shit headline! Keep it up.

I’ve started listening and note that David uses an example of ‘calling the sky red’ as an example of craziness.

Just to be a smart-arse, there is a famous example of this in Homer describing the sea as “wine dark” which can be put into the context of many languages having fewer descriptives for colour:

I feel that both Kelly and Laird punched BG in the mouth when push comes to shove re: the wrist apparel game. Never have I looked down and lamented buying 2 Whoop straps as I have when both Kelly and Laird entered the wrist apparel game

FFS , I wear a sun dial…thinking about mass producing them in N Korea to help out all those poor people who can’t afford a years wage to tell the time…..

watch story….in the early 80’s I was in Hawaii , and Mike Miller gave me a $30 Rolex to give Miki Dora….flying home I was sitting next to a rather hot Mama, who was very snobbish to me until I busted out the watch, put on my wrist, she was my new best friend…..Miki got the watch and sold it to…” a Quik” exec 1/2 price for $10K…..

Personally, I don’t like WATCHing violence.

The Misfits? Isn’t that a Ashton Goggans T-shirt?

Derek Hynd's Missing Fins

Negs–getting to Krui for 1 week towards end of October. You able to join?

NEGATRON

Not this year for me! but you’ll love it, plenty of options not to face death in the eyes.

@surfads

Wonder when Derek and Chas will stump up to hire out a camp for a week for all us lonely, lowly commentators. It’s the least they could do.

And even with all food, beer, accommo and transport for everyone it’d still be cheaper than a day at Kelly’s pool…

The Bitchy Crab

Where do you wanna go?

Derek Hynd's Missing Fins

Doing 3 days at Padang Padang end of Sept. Figure that’s a good first trip, and required pilgrimage, to the peninsula. Clearly not going to paddle Uluwatu–looks crowded as fuck. Hope there are a few corners to sneak into in the area. Been swimming laps, running hoops, and hitting the gym to get in shape. Def plan on getting my ass kicked, regardless. And def not looking for black diamond level shit.

Beef & Beer

I’ll (NEVER) listen to it later.

And I bet Party Pete never does either…

NEGATRON

More of a Joe Rogan Guy at a guess?

Beef & Beer

NEVER
‘Justin Hawkins Rides Again’ is the only podcast (if you can call it that) I listen to

NEGATRON

Yeah, watching utube is not a podcast and quite tricky to do while driving.
I’m sure you would’ve said NEVER about commentating on the internet 3 years ago and look at you now. Shining so bright.
Its ok, they dont bite.

Jimmy the Saint

He is great

I always listen. Eventually.
