Sitting champion Filipe Toledo in the crosshairs?
Of all sporting fans on the face of this earth, would you agree with me that surfing fans are the most long-suffering? What with Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch Pro coming around basically every year, World Surf League CEO Erik Logan’s ginning up the business with ludicrous statements, a five month off-season and a Super Bowl at Lower Trestles, surf fans really put up with a whole ton.
Surfline.
But here we are, with professional surfing at its very highest level ready to kick off this month begging for and dribs or drabs, pouring over the social media accounts of World Surf League principals, desperately trying to read the tea leaves.
Jessi Miley-Dyer, Senior Vice President of Tours, Head of Competition, for example, just posted an extremely cryptic one, announcing the “ins and outs” for the 2023 Championship Tour Season.
In:
Confidence as a choice, neon wetsuits, leaving your kindle in a plane seat every three trips, cryptic Taylor Swift lyrics, hairbrushes, friends to take on the world with, purpose based goals.
Out:
Twitter, owning more than one leg rope at one time, apologizing, going goblin mode, three fins the same size in your board, gluten, replying to trolls on the internet, goals related to your appearance.
So much to ponder.
Is “confidence as a choice” a clear shot over Filipe Toledo’s bow?
Is “purposed based goals” a shot over BeachGrit’s?
What do you see?
Help, please.

Sounds like more woke bullshit coming out of the wsl. Seems that the power that be are about as competent as the Biden administration…
I’m out, got way better things to be doing with my time than this trivial bollocks. But like I said, your path at BG is a dead end Street.. You’ll probably take that as a threat, but it’s not. I care about our commentators.
JMP living her best equal life. She’s just as full of shit as Elo! Yeah I know she’s a real person with sisters and friends and used to be a real surfer once. But how the fuck can you spout so much surreal business bullshit bingo corpo speak or meaningless surf-adjacent tropes all the fucking time?! It grates so hard and it’s intolerable to read. JMD, your behaviour and actions (like banning Joel) as the female vice head of pro surfing suck big time.

What does leaving your Kindle on the seat mean?
Tend to not remember the shit I don’t give a shit about and I’ve removed the moderator tag and replaced it with Badge Boy for similar reasons. mod implies too much moral responsibility for My liking. The line is not set in stone, ever evolving and that’s good.
As for the badges they’re solely to poke people and you’re still going on about yours. So that’s a win.
Dumb, cruel, lazy and repetitive are about the only things Derek, Chas & I don’t want in the comments. It’s pretty simple but seems to work and someone’s gotta be the Hammer, because believe me it devolves to a pile of shit real quick.
Paranoid is not a mental case.
I can see the amount of times you log in,that with how long your answers are tells me it’s more than a “fun” outlet for you. It’s a habit.
Ummm like I said. Take a break, from the outside looking in this doesn’t seem fun for you.
Remember this was just about Bex being cruel anonymously. You’ve taken it and are running it to your own destination. Wherever that may be, don’t think anyone else wants to hop onboard.
Thats my real name
You’re way too deep in the rabbit hole of commentating. Take a break, trust me it’s not a healthy space to occupy.
Exactly, hes such a lil bitch these days
The model isn’t what you think.
Hey Negs, could to pass this video on to Chas. TLDR Shaun White and Lewis Hamilton charter super yacht to Antarctica.
Surf journaling adjacent.
Is Kelly jealous?

Done. Cheers!
Getting your feelings get hurt by putting a little stamp next to your anonymous online persona vs cruel unnecessary jabs at real people.
I just try to reel it in to reality as once the dogs off the leash it just ends with dog shit everywhere.
You’re signaling how brave you are to be posting anonymously.
I was going to google what it was but didn’t care enough
Geez jen, havent you done online shopping on black friday or boxing day on any of the surf hardware sites? I know i dont need a new leggie but its only 20 bucks in fluoro yellow! Sold!
I thought she was being ironic. As insipid as her list is, I still hoped for that. Then I clicked on her IG. Holy crap she is a corporate clown.
The thing that bothers me most is she’s probably going to use her time at wsl to springboard her way to squillions at WTA or some other legit sporting org.
I have read she won a championship of some kind (so do other surfers) and has that VP position, but what she posts illustrates she is either dense or isn’t actually into the surf community/surfing. But the same can be said for the Prez of WSL. It is so LA slime kiss assery and fake flake.
welcome to BG!
Thanks!😄
Is goblin mode an app? Can I download it? Another whining privileged white woman? So many questions to ponder.
She’s fat.
