Surf broadcaster Sal Masekela one ups best friend Kelly Slater in stunning year end turn, made “Instagram Official” boyfriend by movie superstar Lupita Nyong’o!

Mazel tov!

But who could have seen that coming? Which surf fan might have put their hard earned money here? While we have been busily lighting candles for months now dreaming of a Gisele Bündchen x Kelly Slater reunion in order to usher in an era of prosperity last seen in 2005 – 2006, the surf broadcaster Selema Masekela was all the while dating movie superstar Lupita Nyong’o who just allowed him to become public.

Whoa!

Beyond whoa!

The Kenyan actress, who became mass famous after her turn as Nakia in Black Panther, is deservedly loved by all. A bright light in her prime with exciting work in a gilded future.

Nuyong’o announced Masekela, who just finished announcing the Pipe Masters, as her boyfriend in a moving instagram post with the two dancing in various clothings.

Praise poured in from all corners with film, sport and surf stars weighing in with much happiness about the union.

And here we are. Who needs Bündchen and Slater now?

Neither of us.

Also, while we’re still here, who needs Sam George and Nia Peeples, the previous surf-adjacent x celebrity biggest fish?

Wedding candles officially lit in advance.

Mazel tov!

His name is Selema now. Chas, you’re a cristofacist. I would like to acknowledge that this comment was written on the ancestral land of Chris Cote.

I tried to escape Twitter, the identity politics and culture war, but BG won’t let me cut that umbilical cord.

Trying to be respectful here, but this post seems like it is filled with quite a bit of unconscious (or possibly conscious) bias. Selema had plenty of positive things to say about a lot of other surfers besides Mikey February and the fact that you zeroed in on the South African thing and every time that someone of color may have not treated you exactly how you were hoping to be treated suggests that the problem may be more with you than them. People of your own ethnic background are also probably shitty to you on an everyday basis, so why is it suddenly racist if it is done by someone with a different skin color than you? If Cliff Kapono spent a few more minutes talking about the surfing or talent of indigenous Hawaiians, but then failed to speak positively about the talent of Nathan Florence, would that have caused you to raise up the racist flag just as quickly?
Your first response is probably to get defensive and/or aggressive. I get it. I’m not going to argue that Selema is always likable. I’m not trying to say that you’ve never been picked on or treated differently because of the color of your skin or some other characteristic or feature that you can’t control. I get that it feels shitty when those things happen, but I think you have to ask yourself why you are so hellbent on keeping these scores or going on this tirade. I don’t need to know the answers to those questions, but it seems like you might. Best wishes nonetheless.

Haven’t you realised that its a waste of time to rationalise with these sick fucks. They’re sooooooo far down the rabbit hole there’s no coming back.

Capt’s 20 years ago today: (from The StarshipCapt’s Log Entry 007-1/2)

Rumsfield is in Abu Agraid…Senator Kyl is in Arizona a statesmen cursing the juvenile ignorance, the democrats “misbehaving,” and George W. is seeking re-election again…with no military record…that approaches Edward Kennedy…both were (ARE) drinkers…

“Cept his money wasn’t bootlegged…it was oil and business, as usual…

I have a wet dream…but it’s with a meaningful purpose…to go out and have sushi again…

Chapaqutec…is not an Indian name…it’s a bridge Ed…I served time and you didn’t…bastard…and I was in control…you weren’t…

I was alone and not cheatin’…bastard…”And that was the straw that broke the camel’s back”…said her…

And she’s quite alive and running marathons…not her, Ed…”Lies, lies, Lies…”

Donald offered his resignation two times…proud and pride…tough job…, Dude…

American capitalism is suspect again…elliptical circles…WW1, WW2, WW3 (not expected or in the TV channel sweeps)…

“Medium is the message” is a famous Marshall McKluen, Mass Communication researched (and accessible) necessary reading…

Editor’s Note: The media is part of the terrorism…and if not is paid off by those limited, 72 virgin praising few…

Los Angeles Times is a butt rag…and was the Copley Press’s “Daily Breeze”…and those that run false articles…

Should be sent overseas…to fight…on the front lines…

And I haven’t started…drinking…

Or even planned for the upcoming Pipeline Masters…

Or kissed the girl’s good night…

Good tequila tonight…
