“There was a strange grunting noise and a body behind me..."
Celebrities flocking to enjoy our beloved pastime has been on a serious rise since the dawn of Covid. The latest in a long line is onetime boy band hunk and current reality television star Nick Lachey, who is in Hawaii riding that wild surf with his young son while waiting for mommy to get one with work.
Touching.
But another sort of “touching” should have the aforementioned personalities very worried. Namely, the “sexual assault” varietal.
But who, here, is not following the Gwyneth Paltrow trial with rapt attention? For those without access to the internet, or on a media fast, the short of it goes something like this.
Gwyneth Paltrow was very sad after her father died and couldn’t bring herself to go skiing, something he loved to do, until she heard a small voice in her spirit telling her that it was time to teach her children the art of snow sliding in his honor. And so she took her charges to Deer Valley, which I think bans snowboarding, hired instruction and set out for the little slope.
It was there that danger struck. An elderly eye doctor named Dr. Terry Sanderson, claiming he was minding his own business, declared an out of control Paltrow smashed into him, basically ruining his life, and so he sued.
Well, the case wound its way into court where Paltrow took the stand to declare that it was Dr. Sanderson who ran into her and in an unpleasant way.
“I was skiing and two skis came between my skis, forcing my legs apart,” she told a rapt jury. “And then there was a body pressing against me.”
Yes, the Goop founder thought she was being sexually assaulted.
“Was he grinding or thrusting?” Dr. Sanderson’s lawyer asked. “What made you think it was a sexual assault?”
“There was a strange grunting noise and a body behind me so I was trying to make sense of what was going on. My mind was going very quickly,” Paltrow responded.
That case will be resolved soon, one winning, one losing, but the greater worry, for star and starlet surfers, is there will be Dr. Sanderson copycats in the lineup. Maybe disturbed individuals who ride soft tops between legs and grunt strangely.
Are you worried?
Or might naughty ideas be dancing in your head?
For shame.

FIRST Deer Valley sucks as a ski area. As for Gwyneth’s missed opportunity have deep, tantric slope side sex with a much older man all I can say is YAWN!
Have been off living real life, tripped into the beachgrit house to find the same meaningless drivel. Man, I have missed it so!
Aye Captain your mind will be cleansed by the brilliant prose offered on BG!
Lodge Grit should relaunch with nothing but AI ChatGPT generated articles.
Damn i hate cold play
If you were being tortured by drug cartel in a Bolivian jungle and had the choice of listening to cold play on blast or listen to Gwyneths goop pod cast on loop what would you choose? Decisions…decisions.
cold play would put me to sleep.
goop pod cast would remind me that I couldn’t kill her until I violently escape from the cartels grip.

We should be focused on the recovery of surf legend and sometimes lead singer of Night Ranger Jack Blades not this sexual frolicking at Deer Valley.
Might Elo and JMD be purposely staying away from WSL Headquarters in this narcissistic lie of a speaking tour to just shack up and sponge 5 star hotels?
I consciously uncoupled from Gweneth years ago.
I did like her in the Royal Tennenbaums but then she became too damn annoying.
By the way…how does someone sexually assault or get sexually assaulted whilst wearing a full ski kit?
French fries and a pizza slice my friend, french fries and a pizza slice.
That’s a slippery slope…
It’s all downhill from here…
Gwyneth: “I think we’re just gonna to have to be secretly in love with each other and leave it at that, Dr Terry.”
Dr Terry: HRNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGKnnnggggggggghhhhhahhhhhhh
