Sleepless nights!
Surf fans, already whipped into an obscene frenzy over Gisele Bünchen and Tom Brady’s sudden split, could not believe the news, this morning, that the Brazilian supermodel very publicly took a wad of sage out to her car in order, presumably, rid the ride of the star quarterback’s bad juju.
Those who are aware of sage’s mystical properties know that its burning has purifying, restorative effects. More to our point, though, the move might also have been a smoke signal, as it were, to the greatest surfer of all-time Kelly Slater.
Slater and Bündchen famously dated across 2005 and 2006, those years, maybe not coincidentally, being two of eleven championship seasons for the Boy from Cocoa Beach.
A lost day and age when surfers dated stars. When our kind was embodied by pure gorgeous as opposed to adult-learning flubber.
Might we be back, though?
As it happens, Sage Erickson is an ambassador for Kelly Slater’s Outerknown, a company that prides itself on renewability etc. The right way to live. Etc.
Last year, sustainable men’s label Outerknown debuted its first women’s collection with a unique campaign. Founder and 11-time world champion surfer Kelly Slater certainly could have asked a few of his athlete or celebrity friends to participate, but instead, he cast a trio of activists working in climate change and sustainability. To the average Instagram user, they probably weren’t familiar, but the women Outerknown hoped to engage likely already followed them. It was an early example of how a brand can align its vision, mission, and marketing in a truly authentic way.
Burning sage.
Oh not “burning” in our parlance but restorative, spiritual, healthy burning. Exactly like surf fans, everywhere, are burning candles down to nubs for a Slater-Bündchen reunion.
Sleepless nights.

Surfers Luv Sloppy Seconds…Thirds… Fourths…
someone once called me a sage, and then they burnt me!
No doubt, you burned them first
fuck you are a troll wanker!!
You earned your thief reputation all on your own.
I have a wonderful recipe for sage and chicken meatballs with buttered risoni if anyone is interested
chickenbisonmeatballsBeing a ambassador for Outerknown… is that like being sponsored but only being paid in last years leftover apparel?
Born (50 years ago) ready

Sustainable? Does she (or you) know or even care that “saging” is offensive to indigenous
peoples and fucks up the California chaparral and coastal sage scrub ecosystems? Specifically destructive to white sage?
We are all fucked thanks to this kind of jackass bullshit

Pretty sure I won’t be buying any of your sustainable Outerknown bs anytime soon
Surfs up dude
Unreal that you can’t disagree with these ahole politicos…sure you switch channels, but its a monotone message designed to ‘guilt’ us out; at least here in Cali (which is ground zero for …the propaganda smothering basic thought processes)…
White, red, and green sage in my front yard burned during the Thomas Fire and came back thriving…apparently the white also used as a tea…ah, but purple!

“Climate change”, the new orthodoxy..
where is it~
Wow. That’s serious. It probably smelled like his socks 🧦 in there.
Or worse yet, the disgusting scent of Brady and multiple other male teammates emanating from the back seat!!!!
Enough to make poor Gisele vomit in her mouth every time she opens the door.
Edit-trying to get with the times and use an emoji. Didn’t feel good. Didn’t feel right.
Where does one vomit if not in their mouth?
Asking for a friend
Vomiting into your mouth is just a little spit up. A heave, with a little sauce for flavor. Maybe swallowed back down.
water?
parsley, sage, rosemary & gisele. “need water, G?”
Dickens: “Dickens seems to have succeeded in attacking everybody and antagonising nobody. Naturally this makes one wonder whether after all there was something unreal in unreal in his attack upon society. (his attack upon society.) Where exactly does he stand, socially, morally and politically? As usual, one can define his position more easily if one starts by deciding what he was not.
In the first place he was not, as Messrs Chesterton and Jackson seem to imply, a “ proletarian ” writer. To begin with, he does not write about the proletariat, in which he merely resembles the over- whelming majority of nihilists-hsts, past and present. If you look for the working classes in fiction, and especially English fiction, all you find is a hole.”
And nobody’s budgen.
i can now cross the sidewalk and/or j-walk…
Or broadwalk
board vs sword is my best post
Live stream your heat and I’ll watch it later
You are flogging a dead horse with the brady stories Chas!!
I will recant if you get proof she banging any pro surfer and you can happily smash the stories for next 12 months
otherwise – prefer adding whoop to the “health benefits of surfing” – that was a massive missed opp
just so you know Brady has surfed , and his Carribean hideaway has a right hander out the front…I actually got an invite from Giselles friend/ manager to go visit and give surf lessons and hang out……but I knew Giselle had a thing for surfy boys as it was my friend who introduced them …wait for it…..Foodland North shore was their meeting place!!!
Wonder who Brady banged.
Kelly?
His teammates, they think he’s going to make it work.
Brandi love
I didn’t read it.
Something about a bunch of older famous people being saggy? Typical BG misspellings I presume.
BOEL rep returned my call…just listened to voicemail…talk ’bout a saggy voice…
