Naughty words.
Miami area surfers are set to wake up the very first day of 2023 to a great shock. Namely, they will no longer be able to smoke on the beach before, or after, rare local sessions generally brought about by hurricanes or the like.
Marlboro, out.
Camel, no more.
Those who dare smoke after the gong of midnight on January 1st will be met with a $100 fine and 60 day stint in jail.
Whoa.
Two whole months behind bars.
Miami Beach City Commissioner Alex Fernandez declared the draconian new law was meant to protect the area’s natural charm, saying, “This paradise is an important economic engine. Cigarette butts are not the butts our 18 million visitors want to see. This new law will help keep our paradise clean and beautiful.”
Racy.
The normally staid Associated Press, founded in 1846, took the City Commissioner’s “cheeky” tone as license to vulgar, penning, “Starting New Year’s Day, you can still wear bikinis on the beaches of Miami Beach, but forget about showing any butts — cigarette butts, that is.”
Readers, unused to flowery reports and naughty word play, became extremely troubled, some fainting whilst passers-by furiously fanned them, wafting smelling salts under their noses.
Others vomited while calling for an immediate retraction.
Butts.

Can someone please enlighten Derek that we (at least in my opinion), really don’t need somewhat r-rated lead-ins to articles.
I really don’t know what he’s trying to do here with this stuff on a ‘surf’-website.
stoid comments pleases!
Great channel
Pounding smoking hot butts in Miami papi
selema & chaos, undercover…
“So Scales…hollywood smokers can never find an ash-tray? thoughts?”
I Don’t really care anymore. I’m completely indifferent to the crap that him and Derek post. They stopped giving a shit and so did most of the commenters. Now I just meander around like walking through a ghost town from story to story posting whatever I want, where I want.
I gotta hand it to him, he doesn’t hide his lazy clickbait strategy. Why not spend ten minutes a day posting crap on Beach Grit, then spending time with your family.
The pro tour is what I care about so losing Long Tom was a bummer.
You care about the woozle????
I like watching world class surfers in good waves, along with heat strategy and who’s a choker(Jordy etc.) Don’t listen to the commentary.

He’s quite talented
Yeah but no but
Usually when someone passes you give them a (R.I.P.). But on this glorious day, I’d like to give a (R.I.H.) to Dr Wilson Chin. There are many that We the People are cheering for their passing here in the States. Every time another doctor that ran thir fn mouth about “covid shots” passes, We celebrate! But I’m sending this one across the pond to the Gold Coast.
So wilson chin of Queensland, go (R.I.H.)!!!
Drats! Foiled again!
Where can I get my hands on some ‘smelling salts’ ?
They’re not on the shelf at the local grocers…
Here you go. https://thebombhole.com/pro…
Typical Republican genius.
Bans cigarette but not cigars
“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently signed into law House Bill 105, which amended the Florida Clean Indoor Air Act to allow cities and counties to restrict smoking at public beaches and public parks, subject to certain exceptions including unfiltered cigars.”
put it Bluntly…
i’ve de-conned meth labs…go fund me!
Smokers gettin smoked.
Happy New Year’s Eve! Gonna go down to the harbor and watch the fireworks?
I read a the Sydney Morning Herald every once in awhile to learn about you kooks. Not too much goes on down there. No Smash n grabs by hundreds of people etc.
Biggest news today was that some development projects might harm Koala bears
We get a barge off DY beach and our own fireworks show.
Id never get amonst the filth at the harbor.
Weve got some refo LA gangbang wannabes in west sydney but theyve all had their shots.
Have a good one.
Same here. I’m on the other side of the Golden Gate from the filth and crime.
Flood watches and wind advisories here.
Cig Vicious
So disappointing, we could have lost twice as many SUPers on one vessel, hopefully a few of them don’t get the message and get taken out.
Even when I don’t think it’s possible, you manage to post a worse story than the last .
It’s an talent few have ( or want)
