A win for the little guy!
I wasn’t going to say anything but…. it feels wild chest pounding is what The People™ are really into these days.
Robust numbers reports. Wins across the board etc. Heretofore unforeseen growth.
The problem, though, is that be it politically left, politically right or Erik Logan, bald-faced lies are served as truth thus depressing those same The People™ when elections are lost, World Surf Leagues are not purchased by Netflix.
Big bummers all around.
Well, this little ol’ BeachGrit is, of course, for you, by you, and so we are pleased to announced that you are now, officially, the biggest surf website in the whole wide world.
Per the SimilarWeb:
A little under 5 million unique visitors last month.
Surfline and Magic Seaweed, combined, got 2.3 million.
The World Surf League much, much, much, much, much, much less.
The Inertia and Stab much lesser.
Hands are certainly being wrung in Santa Monica, Venice-adjacent, whatever “it city” from three years ago where Stab is currently setting up shop, trying to figure out how to replicate exceptionally poor grammar.
Consultants being hired in Surfline’s Huntington Beach offices to fire even more people so they can get down to the magic number of two.
The Inertia’s Zach Weisberg doubting, for the first time, the power of listicles.
Are you proud?
You should be.
Leave that candle burning on the windowsill unattended, for a moment, and crack into the vintage champagne.
You deserve.

Don’t Hassel the Hoff!!!
We need more Surline Man! Can’t wait to hear how his Ambassador of Stoke role plays out.
Good stuff, makes me laugh.
Most definitely.
I dont have insta
So the Tom Brady Gisele divorce articles have made BG the most popular “surf” website in the world. Way to go Chas!
Time may be ripe to sell out and start a water taxi business!
Best thing ever on BGritter was that sell out industry gnome NcArRoll leaving in a huff , so funny.
Everyone knows the real gold is below the comments belt. Could it be time to pay the commenterers? Decentralised commenting?

Look at Chas and Derek slapping the proverbial acai bowl out of the collective hands of the “surf industry.”
Yet here you are….
So does this mean that you’ll get some more BG coffee mugs in stock?
i’m feelin’ it too…I’m a sloppy typist when under the influence of greatness…
not unique viewers who check it out and drive further up the coast…think SurflineMan.
here’s how I view this…4 million + views of the caption and the headline pic…us converers , or conveners are like surfers in the line-up at a perfect point break, i.e. unique viewers…maybe 100 or so…who punch it out over each new wave…semi-orderly. don’t tell anybody but we kind of got the place to ourselves. deservedly or not.

Anonymous is a decentralized international activist and hacktivist collective and movement primarily known for its various cyberattacks against several governments, government institutions and government agencies, corporations and the Church of Scientology. Anonymous originated in 2003 on the imageboard 4chan representing the concept of many online and offline community users simultaneously existing as an anarchic”, digitized “global brain” or “hivemind”.

Serious congrats Chas. Can y’all maintain the numbers and global domination, or will your unholy alliance with Emily Ratajkowski ultimately do little more than create surfing’s online version of the Fyre Festival?
More as the story develops…
Are you hiring?
WHOA! CS, DR and the crew are surely feeling uber dangerous as we, the BG lemmings celebrate!
unique!
That 98.1% mobile traffic “Device Distribution” is highly suss…
