If you don't surf, don't start.
It is a simple fact that cars and trucks are essential for a healthy surfing lifestyle. Very few of us live close enough to walk to the waves comfortably. I tried, the other day, and when I got back home my shoulder was lightly sore from carrying wetsuit draped board uphill. Driving is key but what to drive? I have long been a proponent of the Toyota Tacoma though sometimes get my head turned by older model Toyota Landcruisers, certain Jeeps, any convertible Saab or Ford F-350s.
Teslas rarely do it for me, though I must admit, the new Cybertruck is dynamic.
The new must-have lorry with its striking shape and brushed metal body is as eye-catching as it is polarizing. I’ve seen three or four, now, with my own two peepers and feel an attraction but also fear the man, always man, behind the wheel is a status-chasing tool.
Well, one of them decided to test the Cybertruck’s claim that it is “built for any planet” by attempting to take it surfing at California’s Marina State Beach just south of tech apocalypse San Francisco, just north of ritzy Carmel. It was a sunny day, Surfline calling it 3 – 4 and fair with light offshores grooming neat little peaks. The man, though, had trouble making it to the lineup, getting stuck in the sand before authorities descended.
Illegal, of course, to drive on beaches in the very flute of California’s oldest champagne liberal community.
The law helped him deflate his tires, anyhow, and pushed his outward display of internal inadequacy off the sand before any surfing happened. He was promptly ticketed but likely doesn’t care though should care that he didn’t deflate his tires ahead of time.
What do you think he does for work?
What sort of personality does he have?
More as the story develops.

Well of course, he is Q after all.
A Saab?? Ugly as a hatful of assholes
Surfline man should move to Oregon to get back to land etc and suffer a multitude humiliations from the locals, sealife, elements!
still love the old Thomas Guide map books.
I had every county in California
wish I’d kept them to donate to the cause
Surfline man upgraded to the cyber truck which is connected to Star Link, making Surfline available…..everywhere on the planet.
probably some guy named Zach who’s the #1 fan of The Inertia.
That’s not a truck and it’s not ute
New Tesla-dick Interface programmer/tester, “Hey siri-Tesla, take me to Silicon Valhalla”.
Could flip it,and paddle it back in.Roof looks like the hull of a tinny.
It’s like the Pontiac Aztec and the DeLorean had a baby.
At least the DeLorean was semi-cool looking, came with an eight ball and didn’t rust like the Cybertruck
You had one you lucky dog?
NOOOO, I was 18 in ’81 and couldn’t afford one as I spent my free cash on eight balls and car parts.
Dude wears tight pants, pull on half boots, manages a product team, does his shopping at Huckberry

deja vu. but in Baja. chevy impala. 4-door. twilight. darkness. seek light. kerosene lamps and alcohol. first sauza shots…first light. mex water truck. tight! exsqueeze me, Dad. He pushed me in!
Tes run!
Driving the wet dream of South Africa’s tackiest export is bad enough. So no surprise the dip shit didn’t even know that tyre pressure needs to be reduced for soft sand.
He’s likely more impressed by this achievement:

Elon doesnt give a fock

How are you ashamed of Elon? he’s a quirky motherfucker, but he has changed the world more than anyone in my lifetime. Bring it on Elon
I hate the fucker. He seemed great at first but his duplicity has been exposed. He frames himself as a free speech advocate and environmental saviour but in reality he’s just another egomaniacal billionaire. Beside his own daughter calling him out for hate, he’s completely silent when it comes to criticising China for its severe limitations on free speech (because of its critical importance to Tesla sales) and his answer to climate change is to establish a colony on Mars.
It’d be hard to not be affected by such crazy wealth
Undoubtably. But it’s his duplicity that takes the cake.
I’d imagine the job of most powerful person in the world has a lot of on the job training. Kinda hard to prepare for. SA has way worse than Elon
Pity he doesn’t learn from his mistakes but instead becomes more and more of a dick head by the day.
I think hes quite good at being our new ghengis khan
Haha, except instead he bends over and drops his pants for the Xingping ‘dynasty’ instead of challenging them.

Classic! Now we know where Amber Heard found the dog shit she left in Johnny Depp’s bed.
plus dont they weigh fucking 10 tonnes – be like driving a cement mixer on the beach!!
I’m assuming it’s one of the WSL’s former CEOs!
His job is “Withdraw Funds”.
The kind of guy who’ll go home and get his team to sue the cops that deflated his tires “who did not promptly restored and verified tire pressure thus immediately endangering our client’s safety and wellbeing as well as failing to safeguard the community as a whole”
His team is most likely his mother who lives on the main floor of her house while he lives in her basement with his blowup Elon doll.
