King of Malibu Jonah Hill distances himself from carbon belching Mercedes “Beast Mode” luxury van, swaps to clean n green electric Rivian for recent surf outing!

Environment first.

But let’s stop being polite and start getting real. Where are you, currently, on the issue of electric vehicles? Do you drive, or dream, in Tesla? A car that you could use to whip across town, shaming your greenhouse gas spewing counterparts while also taking them off the line? Maybe a more luxurious Lucid Air? Swedish Polestar? Or do you just scoff at the hole thing, telling your electric vehicle driving friends that they are not, in fact, saving the environment but simply passing their gross onto coal powered plants that hurt the air of working class families?

Well, wherever you find yourself, surfing’s Jonah Hill has just made a bold statement rolling himself to the beach for a recent surf in a army green 2022 Rivian R1T electric truck. When he last saw the heir to Miki Dora’s Malibu throne he was just up the street, in Ventura, having driven himself there in a Mercedes 4×4 Sprinter that had been retrofitted into “Beast Mode.”

The Daily Mail described it thusly:

The luxury camper van is fully decked out with mod-cons that include a two-person bed, tons of storage space, a shower, fridge and microwave.

It also is also equipped with a state of the art AC and heating system and gets its power from solar panels that are mounted on the roof.

Rough estimates suggest the vehicle gets somewhere around 14 miles per gallon.

Carbon belching.

Hill, anyhow, stood chatting with a pal by his new Rivian, which retails near $90,000, wearing loose-fit cuffed blue jeans, a black tee-shirt and green loafers. He also had a bubble-wrapped longboard and, apparently, another longboard in the bed. You must take the whole scene in here and rate it on a scale of 1 – 10.

It must also be noted that he was without female companionship.

Electric boogaloo.

Who gives a rat’s ass that Hill drove up in a $90,000 electric van that the normal person can’t afford. I wouldn’t own electric it you gave it to me. I’ll keep driving my carbon spewing, gas suckin car. Hahaha

Chas, as a grumpy local, should I beat hell out of Jonah next time he shows up in the greater Oxnard, Port Hueneme, and Ventura area? Asking for a friend. More questions than answers but instincts tell me: YES

I’m a big fan of that guy as I love the underdog, even when he is richAF! Now where can I get that bubble wrapped surfboard? They’ll be better priced EVs soon enough and maybe a better battery as well.

Sheepy is a shadow of his former self since he traitoriously left and died at SN.
I thought about posting over there to try and rark him up – but nah. It’d be like trying to give hell to your Great Aunt. Waste of time. He’s fully transitioned into half female half woke cunt and surrounded by bumlickers and backslappers.

I find Jonah Hill fascinating. What we’re seeing is an A list Hollywood actor slowly transforming into a surf bum. No more promoting his movies, which I’m sure his reps are pissed about, because the guy would rather surf. And now he’s got the van! More surfboards! More tattoos!

I’m not down with the recent Chas bashing. Does anyone really give more of a shit about Nathan Florence and Mick Fanning, or that sellout Kai Lenny, than Giselle and Jonah. No, it’s all the same. I say: Bless you Chas Smith for entertaining us each day, for free. Spin your satiric tales of Kelly and shark attacks and keep giving the world your middle finger.

Chas, put down the Google news search and do some journalisming, this ticker tape stream of drivel is scraping the barrel. Like in surfing volume is not always your friend.

I can’t decide if it’s sad or entertaining to see the inner workings of Chas’ mind. I do know it’s getting more difficult by the article to remain interested in BG.

True.
If it weren’t for the comment section, I wouldn’t even bother.
Ironic, since there are always SO many interesting things going on in the surfing world. Instead, we get a constant stream of tabloid-tier rumor mongering, innuendo, and blatant fabrications.

Its pretty lame and leaving my interest waning heavily as I don’t have much interest in fabricated surf gossip and famous peoples relationships. At least it has confirmed that Chas is losing his shit (or trying to tank BG for some odd reason).
