Blame IPA.
North County, San Diego has two famous first children and one almost famous third stepchild. Rob Machado and Emily Ratajkowski as the former. Ashton Goggans as the latter during those occasions when people mistake him for Anthony Bourdain re-incarnate. This, here, above La Jolla, below Camp Pendleton, is a simple life where the Hollywood gilt don’t mean much. Hard-working salt of the earth folk who like their bicycles electric and their coffee flat and white.
Regular dudes.
Except that Emily Ratajkowski.
Ooooooh as much as “the crew” likes to keep it “real,” Ratajkowski’s perfect skin, her pouty lips make them all want to give it up, move to Soho and crush that Loewe game.
BeachGrit regulars will remember when the model-actress Encinitian became single one year ago. Swamis locals crawling all over each other to win her hand first. Chris Cote re-thinking his entire life.
Though she has gone on a series of A-list dates during that time, the San Dieguito Academy alum has yet to settle down and candles still flicker from Del Mar to Leucadia.
Except.
Emily Ratajkowski outed as “fatphobic” by Page Six
The svelte 32-year-old posted a photo to Instagram standing in one leg of a plus-sized pair of jeans sending the hoi polloi into an absolute furor.

“What in the fatphobic hell is that second picture … so distasteful and disgusting…. how did anybody okay that,” one wrote.
“Designers won’t make plus sizes unless it’s for a photo opp where a thin person can be quirky,” another added.
Now, North County surfers don’t care about the social implications of all that, but they do wonder if their drinking habits are giving them a leg down in winning her hand.
IPA beer, you know, rules here. The fattiest beverage ever crafted. And now Cardiff Reef rippers are peeling down wetsuits after sessions and pinching tummies, wondering if the shot has been blown.
Wondering if it can be melted away quickly with a switch to hard kombucha.
Paroxysms of self-doubt.
Difficult days ahead.
And sugar-content headaches.
More as the story develops.

Emrata hubba hubba. Add Dua Lipa and that would be my dream ménage à trois.
I could help Emily pitch a tent in those pants so we could both be happy campers..

JMD model
Wouldn’t take a Jean-ius.
Underneath the perfect makeup, lie the scars of a cruel life; to be so beautiful with no talent it still made you a millionaire. The burden. And then add being a B list man receptical. But now look closer into her eyes and just below her nose, you might notice the chronic herpes outbreak and ever so weird where-is-that-from scent of spermicide jelly.
I’m inspired, unpacking my purple Plan B pants from 1993.
Hey they’re coming back in style. Big pants small skate wheels.
Those wheels won’t come back, but the pants are close. Plenty of jorts around too. The horror.
You’ll be yelling at the kids on your grass soon enough.
Fuck. No doubt.
Nollie hard flip, here I come!
In 1993 I was living in a house called the pit, that was all skaters in Marin. Every night was another party. Pat Duffy who was maybe sixteen used to hang out and get passed out drunk.
Such a strange truth that it is the healthiest. And also leads to big wave world records.
Get a fucking life, and start writing content that actually has to do with surfing. You didn’t even grow up in the town, you pathetic transplant val.
Are you not in the EmRata sweepstakes? That IPA nectar too sweet?
Your “career” has become a joke. And not in a haha funny way.
Imagine how hurtful it would be if I came after your haberdashery in such vicious tones.
You 2 need to get back to the coffee table and bitchy slapping.
don’t make me post board v sword again! you know, this one:
“Surfing, biking, skating…
Back to the skateboarding thing…
Middle East is (as the Demos say in the States ‘should be about CHANGE) without regard, really charging!!!
Aerial speed airplane shows, high rising buildings, and
World in changes, I don’t think so…somewhere there is WAR…
Skaters rule and succeed, while “no skating boarding” signs abound worldwide…”
Chas v CB?
Chas wins the crowd!
Tell us about you. We’re all willing to hear about your version of giving a fuck about nothing. I’m ALMOST certain it’s better than the ingredients in Redken Daily Essentials. But I’m torn..
SHOTS FIRED!
@disqus_nEmZsdyY0S:disqus this cunt lol ^^^^
Ashton, settle.
Dude, virtually no one who lives in North County SD these days actually grew up there.
