I was security at an event in Huntington Beach,CA. I didn’t say a word and he insulted me. He cut off another contestant. If I wasn’t on the job from that day on he would be physically unable to wipe his own ass. He doesn’t conduct himself as a man.
Wait, coastal erosion is now caused by the global warming scam?
Has anyone informed AlGore, Barry Soetoro, Barbra Streisand or the rest of the elite of this impending disaster?
The ’69 Camero Z28 had a 302 cubic inch displacement which is closer to 5.0 liters, so get ALL your facts straight or everything you say or your half baked conclusions will sound like didn’t take the time to really do any research worth reading
That’s a nice ass car… Waves ? Climate change? Who cares…
Breaking news from 2019?
Note: you may have to mute the volume on video.
What is the prize money for the longboard contest?
The longborg division pays?
HB is a terrible wave for a contest, no matter what board you are riding. Yuck.
The Katin contests of old were run on Northside in January and often scored
epic turning point. before it all went south. Baja norte o sur?
Both
it’s a terrible wave to have as your local. This is part of why I hate everything.
The long sleeved spring suit is just a terrible look for a man
Observation: The ungodly WSL Muzak tune that’s been playing over ad breaks all season is the exact sound of a mid-western farm boy dreaming of moving to the big city and joining a major talk show host’s production team.
It must also be banished just as swiftly.
Oooh that’s ugly. 1 wave and done.
Cheers.
And i’m out!
I’m impressed, I’ve gotta say, with those who actually clicked to watch. Pour yourselves a drink. You deserve.
Going to punch myself in the face now. Same feeling as watching this contest. But with less inane commentary.
This is how much I hate my job—I’ll even watch men’s longboarding to avoid having to do work
A drink of poison!
Nuuhiwa-esq on one wave. then the tide changed…surfers & spectators alike are all picking up trash…from the day before.
How shitty must Pete Mel feel having to chat up this contest
He’s not sitting in a surf shop. He is a happy man
I dunno. Hanging at home in Santa Cruz seems more better than having Turpel ear diarrhea spewed at oneself for hours on end.
getting paid
how much would you need to make to sit there an babble away with Turdpel?
his kid is in it to win it…
Cord in waist high HB. Uggg.
where’s Joel Tudor?
Whining on instagram about competitors wearing leashes
is it worth the time & effort to read? or just go to comments?
Chas is scribbling ’bout him as of this posting.
It would appear that a good half of the “athletes” on the men’s longboard tour are middle aged and overweight.
Oompa Loompas
Y’ever notice how over 50’s blokes on SUPs look like eggs on legs? Proudly rotund round the midriff.
used to require helmets to protect the skull. just like at Chopes.

this warrants more attention! keep tabbed for future BG posts MAX
That’s the worst bit of longboarding I have seen
You’ve never been to Morro Bay, have you?
Doheney and Bolsa Chica State Beach are also in this conversation
Ecoli tastic !
I came for the fish& chips and was comforted by the porta-potties…
AZHIAZIAM and Studios crews represent!
near Pismo…and far from the madding crowd?
High performance soft topping and wetsuitless spongers from Bakersfield. A very diverse lineup.
