Paradise lost.
It’s not every day that an Australian surfer has the opportunity to win the heart, maybe even the hand, of a Hollywood “it-girl.” Not even every year. Maybe every every other year if the Australian surfer carries the last name “Hemsworth” but for the average Jones, Campbell, Smith it is a rare, rare chance.
And so you can imagine the utter despair Miles Shepherd is feeling right now after fumbling his once-in-a-lifetime chance at Hollywood it-girl Sydney Sweeney.
Ooooeeeee!
The classic bogan, feat. bad sunglasses and curly brown mullet, narrates the scene from a perch on the sandy beach, beginning with, “So I’m just trying to process what just happened. I’m ups on the Gold Coast absolutely beautiful and I’m sitting on the towel, the sun’s out, I’m watching the surf and I tell myself, ‘Geez. Life can’t get much better…'”
But it did.
“My eyes were blessed with something I don’t think they’ll ever forget,” he continued. “You gotta think to yourself, ‘What does a magazine cover look like when the supermodel is on the front and she’s walking out dripping in water? What does that cover look like? What does the James Bond scene look like when the girl’s coming off the beach? What does Baywatch look like?’ Well that’s what I just experienced (pregnant pause) with Sydney Sweeney.
He goes on describing his far away encounter with the “genuine A-lister,” amazed. Gobsmacked. Thoroughly wowed and posted his description to TikTok.
Sweeney truly is a zeitgeist actress. Star turns in Euphoria, The Voyeurs, Night Teeth, The White Lotus have launched the 26-year-old to the absolute moon. She is everything, everywhere all at once.
Well, Sweeney took to social media and direct messaged Shepherd “u should’ve said hi” including a dagger laughing-crying emoji as the ender. The twin fin enthusiast responded, “Ahaha yeah well how about I take you out and i can say hi for real x,” but she never responded.
Ball very clearly fumbled.
Surf drop of the century?

If ya don’t have a similar story about missed opportunities, you’ve either never left ya house, or your name is Hippy (he’s apparently banged thousands of supermodels and famous actresses by the sounds of it), who reckons she’s fat, and prefers the Auschwitz body shape.

Personally I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for farting, as all her fat cells seem to have gone to the preferable areas.

Maybe Hippy needs glasses.
Both the eye and drinking kind…
Thank you for the additional photos
taking this pretty personally Beef…?
I do like fit women, if they look chunky munkey at 25 and they have arms that dangle, ain’t gonna get any better.
But you chase, by all means.
Personally ?
Errr, no.
Just reckon that anyone who thinks she’s fat is either blind or a bloody idiot…
Cheers
Fucking Eric Haas got an invite Mapski.
Yup, you heard that right, Eric Haas.
And he could smoke the field even at his age.
As for this chick, never heard of her and she’s pretty fat, hard pass.
Eric would go. As for Frank Chenault, someone has created a website called frankchenault.com that warns he’s a fraudulent investment broker and con man. Has a hotline to call if you’ve been taken by him. Guy shows up in events so he can pass himself off as a pro to his marks.
Chas, how about a piece on the WSL letting any asshole with an entrance fee enter events? Coldwater had 60 something Tab Textor kook out a week ago, and perennial fraudster Frank Chenault is in the HIC Pro. Guy never catches a wave, ever, but keeps popping up taking spots that should belong to locals. Complete joke that they allow these idiots slots.
Headline:“Random participants of fringe activity buy slots into events that nobody cares about”
Using the internet to make a play …
Is playing the fool.
another warrior on the beach gets shut down!
