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.
“Just don’t call me Chad…or late for a grapey-flavored coco water vodka at happy hour.” (While he switches channels to Happy Days.)
got ur drift…burgers?
spoken like a true enviro-scientist!
Cropped pants and pastel shoes took all the meat off the bone. But yip, planned obsolescence etc..
All I saw in that video was a chubby poser-adjacent actor with a nice twin fish. What’s all the fuss, guys? This blog isn’t Surfer or Variety, but a little National Enquirer and Batboy is good for your fevered brain.
So… We’re supposed to rock down to electric boogaloo I guess. I’ll pass

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
You got about a months worth of diesel left
Better truck on down to the grocery store.
and get tight every night…
pass out on the bar room floor…
JH don’t need no fine cigars…
’cause we know he’s smoking wherever you are…
JH don’t live in New York City no more…
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
Are you sure that know what local means?
Come personally observe me and show me, White Shark.
If you had a local break that you could claim than maybe I would, valley boy
Hahaha I like your spirit!
Theres a Tesla in our carpark that hasnt moved for months.
There’s a plant in my diminutive garden that does (or does not) the same thing.
We use fake oil based plants.
Theyre beautiful
I’m happy to hear about your fake oil based plants. I hear they’re super carbon neutral.
Yeah,we couldnt care less about the weather
Until negative affects effect you
Thats exactly right.
Haven’t they been defunct for 60 years or so?
Hopefully he got one of the ones without a faulty ball joint. 12k recalled. I’ll wait till they work out the kinks. I might be able to afford one by then.
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.
And hopefully one with a 6′ bed! Don’t need my 5’11” hanging out the back. That just screams kook.
Chas, one more article about this fat bastard and im gonna go hang out with longtom and nick.
At least they actually write about surfing sometimes.
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 had to comment on his north coast pukefest.
The sad thing is there is surf news too. The WSL announced Medina is going to compete in the WQS contest in Brazil on November 1.
but…can we watch…and comment…that is the question?
Chassie Smith is just envious that he grew up as a tall, skinny dweeb,
instead of a ‘Fat Bastard’, hence thee he be~ alwayz h8in’,

hahahahaha!
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.
I heard they are looking for investors. You should pony up if you think this crap is a good idea.
I got $5 on it
Decent trolling attempt: I’ll give it a 3 out of ten.
5.745 and I drive a ’98 Camry. No boards. No more.
You’ve pierced my elephant hide with an arrow of love!
Keep these coming.
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.
Writing as a once avid reader who now only checks in once in a while.
Sure. Let’s be honest, you read it every day.
First time since the end of the WCT season for me
Jonah is looking way too svelte to play John Daly
What the hell is going on with photo shoot on the side of the road? Rivian add?
What about those green loafers? Barrel or nah!
He definitely looks like a fucking clown with his pants rolled up and green shoes.
JS: you hurt MY feelings, NOT! No, he’s still coming back to reality after settling in as Jerry G. He could go either way at this point…
I think Chas is ready to start giving talks at schools about the dangers of alcoholism.
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).
What are these super interesting things?
Well, I certainly didn’t use the word “super” but anything that isn’t a figment of Chas’ imagination would be this drivel any day.
posted earlier ’bout whether The Royals @ SB, in their new gigs will take to the local cuisine: super-mex…
