Beckham at Tavi.

Unearthed footage of David Beckham surfing Tavarua re-emerges as well as the shock reason it was buried for twenty years!

“My arms are aching," says Becks' former assistant Rebecca Loos. "It lasts for about 10 minutes, and he starts thrusting really hard and then I grip."

Lately, I’ve been muscling away the sooty clouds of sadness, those memories of loss etc that only come at night or creep into your head in the pre-dawn, with a Netflix series about the larger than life soccer player David Beckham. 

Beckham, who is forty-eight, is like a locomotive and indeed the television feels too small to contain his energy. Disappointing is the lack of energy dedicated by the filmmakers to cover his myriad carnal adventures with glamorous women whose lipstick is slashed across their mouths like iodine. 

Although denied by Beckham’s team, a man would have to be a monk not to risk his balls in the fire for the freaky rogue’s gallery of groupie sexpots that followed the wildly handsome Becks around. 

One, Becks’ former assistant Rebecca Loos, would later jerk a pig off in a reality TV show stunt.

“My arms are aching,” she complains. “It lasts for about 10 minutes, and he starts thrusting really hard and then I grip.”

(Tell me about it, girlfriend!)

REBECCA LOOS GETS JOB AS PIG MANS MINISTER

Now, it can be revealed that Beckham starred as a surfer alongside fellow soccer superstars Roberto Carlos, Thierry Henry,  Ronaldinho, Raul Gonzales, Fernando Torres and Rafael Van Der Vaart in a long-disappeared Pepsi advertisement, the brand’s ultra-budget marketing campaign for 2005.

The surfing was shot on Tavarua in Fiji and a ten-foot high “water wall” behind a movable platform was built at a private airport near Madrid where the players filmed their parts. 

As good as the ad was, “best sports advertisement of all time”, Pepsi pulled it after a few weeks following the 2004 tsunami that disappeared a quarter-mill souls in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand.

(Editor’s note: regular readers might denote this as one of those “slow news days” stories which indeed it is.)

wish I read more and watched less!

Rebecca is a great wanker. I’ll watch it later.

Perhaps they could have Surfsoccer at Chopes for the Olympics next year?
More entertaining than surfing for sure – very real diving and the great potential to annihilate a whole country’s team.

@surfads

First few eps are pretty great.

Rocks local

Finished it last night. As non-soccer/football fan, found it pretty fascinating. Pretty sure my missus was just there for his hairstyles and shirtless clips, but she was into it too.

Chief Hot stuff

My mrs has abandoned all her duties to binge watch this show

Sean Connery

Couldn’t be worse than the house wives show my wife has been binging on Bravo. When I asked her how is it not over yet? She laughs and says…. Silly… I finished Salt Lake City…. This is Orange County! I then asked how many are there?!… Her response…. A lot! FML.

Greebnurt Hurkurmurgurt

I feel your pain. We should start a men’s therapy group for men whose women watch that shit show. Hard to be in the same room when she’s watching it cuz the petty drunken bickering is so annoying.

Sean Connery

My advice- Drink every time they drink. It helps.

Stab brave and moral Israel to BeachGrit’s depraved Hamas.

I was reading Matt George’s piece from the early 2000s on Beau Young. Some editorial you had published about how lame longboarding was had created quite a stir at the time. Any chance you could rerun it on here?

That long walk back, the run, the kick, the curve, the sound of the ball hitting the post and going in, the stadium exploding! The beauty of football. Something no one that calls it soccer will ever understand.

Rocks local

… temps in the single digits (Farhrenheit). Trip to the Super Bowl on the line. Rock hard frozen oval Frankenstein of a ball snapped back, kicker hits it from 45 yards out, ball hangs in the frozen night air for seemingly eternity, slowly spins and heads toward posts, clears the bar, 80,000 people with frostbitten feet lose their minds as stadium explodes. Something no one who calls a round ball game ‘football’ will ever understand.

when watching remotely, soccer wins hands down: 45+ minutes with no commercials!
