Rage.
If you know me, have ever read a word I’ve written or listen to one I’ve spoken, then you know that I am an outspoken advocate for beef between media outlets. Oh, I regularly wish for wonderful entertaining barbs between any of the players and always try to stoke the fire. Alas, Stab is profoundly not funny, The Inertia too soft, Surfline all conservative, Surfer dead leaving me to poke all by my lonesome sad and depressed.
Thankfully, there is Instagram where the popular surf meme account Kook of the Day just took a vicious slash at Kook Slams.
Heavy.
Surf meme account historians will recall the heady days when @kookoftheday first rolled out with photos making light of various surf offenses in a lighthearted way. If my timeline proves correct, @kookslams followed a few months later and featured videos of surfers, or surf-adjacents, getting rolled, pounded, generally messed about by water.
Both were very funny and caused many laughs, though at some point, @kookoftheday fell afoul of that hateful Mark Zuckerberg empire and became disappeared with its million+ followers. A replacement account, @kookofthedayog, was launched and while it only has 100000+ followers to @kookslams 1.7 million, it was not afraid enter the battle arena.
Likening @kookslams to Tiger Woods and itself to John Daly.
Boom.
Comments are currently raging about which account is better, though at the time of writing, @kookslams has yet to respond.
Will it? Or will @kookofthedayog be left, like me, to poke alone?
More as the story develops.
Whichever one that posted the vid of kelly falling on his face on the sand gets my vote.
Weren’t they trying to get one going early last year? It didn’t quite take.
They foul hooked Stu and dragged him into the comments here if I remember.. haven’t heard much since.

I like the new profile pic
Since ‘you’ mentioned da Inertia— those guys it seems are all a bunch of kiss-butts and light-weights, probably kissed more surfers and surf industry butts than anyone in history—all to make a buck it seems.
Seems there’s almost no lows that they’ll not sink to, to spread their propaganda and to try and promote their website.
Sorry (we’ll, maybe, not too sorry), just got to call it as I see it.
Vicious
I try.
You’re The Inertia of the Beachgrit Commentators.
Kissbutts
I really like this one. Thanks, Sam
Umm, seems the Inertia dudes, I mean duds, are pretty into surf contests also.
Remind you of anyone?
Farrrrk. That’s heavy xox
And with that, we have returned to normal broadcasting!
Can you run more advertorial ?
And they both end up with more followers. Almost as if the ‘beef’ was by design..
#ipokewithchuck
I support whichever one doesn’t give Jonathan Wayne freeman a platform
That would be Kookslams, although Charles went with Kook Slams after extensive research and no paying attention.
Kookslams isn’t a word.
Also not a word-Beachgrit
Yeah, cause like everyone knows who he is
His videos pop up on insta on mute and look funny cause he faintly resembles John C Reilly and then I hear him speak and the funny dies
I notice is videos popping up on BG too. What a world etc

nailed it
we were all thinking’ it
John’s outfit/look could be broken down for certain commenters.
Pants- Dane, confusing but inherently valuable
Polo – Obvs
Beard – Brutus & B&B (For age respect)
Shades – Ads, the speediest of dealers
Putter – PMW – precise finishing with each post
Dart – Bexxy/Hot Stuff -bad for you but so very satisfying
keen observations, upvote!!!
