“Following the Olympics IG is so cringe…”
One day after the wildest day of surf competition since Slater and John John went head to head at Teahupoo in 2014, the lighting rod surfer Bethany Hamilton has lashed the Olympics as a “clown show.”
The thirty-four-year-old mammy of four who lost her arm in a shark attack in 2003, said she was speaking for tour surfers who felt muzzled and agreed with Kelly Slater who called for a trans-only div and added she’d boycott events if it went ahead.
Hamilton also issued a chilling prophecy, predicting Third World men would “suppress hormones” so they could get rich competing against women.
Now, and in a response to an Instagram post by three-time longboard champion Joel Tudor, Hamilton has lashed out at the Olympics telling surf fans, “The athletes are incredible and the rest is a clown show in my mind. Following the Olympic IG is so cringe!”

Followers of Joel Tudor, who is a black belt in Brazilian jiujitsu as well as a surf champion, mostly agreed with Hamilton’s posit.
Opening satanic ritual ceremony keeps grooming and pushing trans on kids trying to normalize peedophilia
Take away their leashes / learner devices and no jet ski rescue make them swim if they fall and show some water skill. Only then might be able to be considered an Olympic sport.
Every time a surfing heat occurs in the Olympics, a new kook gets their wings.
Absolutely. They are using the these to forward their agenda. Using the athletes!! Because they think we won’t push back. How João had to remove his painting about Jesus off his boards because they ‘don’t want to push ideologies’ yet have drag queens make a complete mockery of the last supper, demonic imagery and performers and the white horseman as part of their opening. Clearly agenda.
A light pushback here.
With respect, what was bad about the surfing event yesterday? Aside from the short rides on chopes – It was fantastic. A clown show? Come on.
Funny how people that badmouth surfing in the Olympic Games are the people who aren’t in it – you don’t hear from anyone actually surfing how badly the judging tower sucks or how much they miss being an “outlaw”, surfing alone while high on weed – funny that.
I’ve adored every second, even when the lawyers started circling and our website was brought to its knees.

Oh Joel I usually love your haranguing but really? Cross dressing is as old as clothes and where are the trans people you so fear I ask. It is a sticky topic but no need to sound an alarm before there’s even smoke. And Bethany, I thought it was the testosterone your were worried about so if they reduce theirs to compete you should be pleased. You are contradicting yourself. All the top athletes, mena and women
, probably have more testosterone than the average , so maybe you need to put people in little testosterone specific brackets. And what happens if a woman happens to have MORE testosterone than some guys!! That would REALLY throw you for a loop.
Get the genital police!
And yes the Olympics suck but for reasons perhaps too heavy for this crowd, namely politics and corruption.
Just another wet fart in America’s culture wars…
sometimes you need to reconnect with your inner edge lord every once in awhile
Whoooooah bring the fucken noise mate.
Xox
If I were a longboarder I’d be jealous about what went down at Chopes yesterday too.
We could start a new biblical text based on that morning of swell.
All this is very surprising indeed. Instagram is usually a hotbed of intellectualism and robust good-faith debate.
Someone ask her if she’s gonna compete in the special Olympics.
it’s like that joke:
winning an argument on the internet is like winning gold in the special Olympics. Even if you win, you’re still retarded.
The principle of not having jesus on your board is pretty basic, I’m sure bethany wouldn’t be happy to see satan on someone’s board, or a big dildo, or a AK47 , we all believe in something, its just nice to not see all that shit on the boards for once isn’t it,,,, ?
hmm satan holding an AK47 sticking out of a dildo……now that’s something people could believe in!
Hahaha fuck yes. Ticking all the boxes and filtering out the weak.
Xox
an image of Chopes sticking a dildo up filipes arse might be ok?
*Bumhole. Mind your manners here please.
Xox
Decorum. it’s a thing
Decorum of the rectum.
Xox
Or a bong. How would she rip one?
Like, light a candle first?
Xox
Dog…Thats nuts.
I’m just happy I don’t have to see that claw on Owen Wrights boards anymore.
Question:
If Bethany Hamilton had not been attacked by a shark….. ?
Historic pro or nice mom no one ever heard of, I have no idea.
But Instagram is cringe and Bethany has a habit of saying cringe.
are you sure it’s not auto correct and “binge?”
she would be another unknown b grade ex pro surfer from Kauai
But Christian!
Nearly as good as a BG headline!
Surfing’s satanic ritual ceremony keeps grooming and pushing trans on kids trying to normalize peedophilia (sic)
A few things that are cringe: Karen’s on social media as well as in real life, “professional” longboarding and watching Joel Jitsu surf. How can someone be that stiff…?
Allow me to correct Bethany.
Following IG is so cringe.
And How about this!!!!? USA Women won gold in Australia’s National Sport against the Aussies!!!!
We have a national sport?
I loathe nationalism, was joking.
But the loss is ironic considering i had no idea we fielded a rugby team.
I don’t know, and have never known anyone that plays rugby union, but I’m glad you loathe nationalism. It’s rank.
Do you like anything?
Fingering his bumhole!
Xox
Haha bum sniffing isn’t out national sport. It is, however, for the kiwis 🥝 😉
And bum fingering at times!
Xox
Bethany: The Olympics IG is cringe
Also Bethany:

but are Bethany’s kids sponsored by the surf diaper company…and what’s their logo.
Do they have nose or rail stickers?
They make surf diapers?
Better tell Tired of Winning!!!!
Do they have those in adult size?
where’s the Beth shop of the GMed shot. I’m feeling short changed here. Like a one armed juggler
Haha that is fucken heavy. And that is why we are coming to the party here.
Because she is an A grade cunt.
Xox
Third world men taking hormones to compete against women in surfing aka the second Brazilian storm aka beachgrits wet dream come true.
her and tudor, what a fuckin team that is.
people losing their crippled little minds over the opening ceremony is bringing me great joy.
…or it’s possible they just have a different opinion than you, and the same right to voice their opinions.
I’ve tried to watch the surfing but the reality is compared to the other events, unless you enjoy watching two surfers bob up and down in the ocean doing nothing for 25 minutes out of every 30 it’s very boring.
Been loving the skateboarding, thats a worthy addition to the Olympics. Sufing, meh.
“Take away their leashes / learner devices and no jet ski rescue make them swim if they fall and show some water skill. Only then might be able to be considered an Olympic sport.”
Turdor is correct but that’s never going to happen, i don’t know how pro surfers can actually swim?
I was watching the Joao/Ramzi heat yesterday.
In between waves there was some incredible “dead air” segments in which all you heard was the sound of the ocean, some background chatter from the boats and the French on-the-ground heat updates in the distance, instead of Joey T. and __________ yammering on.
Watching the two competitors chat and maneuver for position………and anticipating the coming set was all that was needed.
I Loved It!
Totally get it, great comment.
thats what I love about surfing and a big reason why I surf.
but when I’m watching a “professional sport “at home via the screen I want a little bit more than Troy and Alan go for a paddle together
well ya know…I want something different I can’t get paddling around my local?
She’s barely literate. Who gives af what she thinks.
well she does Ok , so you understand to the point where you can form an opinion of her?
She is a pretty amazing surfer , has faced adversity that none of us here have faced and then backed it up at Pipe with one arm…she has already paid a price for her opinions when Rip curl sacked her and lost her main source of income…..but maybe I ‘m wrong and you have faced more adversity than her and the people that upvoted you…I mean there are some serious warriors here, LOL!!
Yes she is amazing and has faced and overcome incredible adversity. She’s also clearly a fucking idiot.
one mans idiot is another mans hero?
She is both inspiring and disappointing at the same time. She’s not the only pro surfer to fit this category.
Most surfers were more likable prior to social media. It’s why we love Bobby & Rasta
I dont like bobby or rasta
Wait I thought we didn’t live in a world anymore in which two conflicting ideas can be true at the same time. What is this sorcery?
funny though—your very own diction and syntax demonstrates that you’re really not altogether literate either
yep more of a live in the gutter type , blue collar , than an intellectual wanker who has no real experience in life…..I think our own ben Marcus used to judge people by their …..dicktion and semtax!
well, I’ll leave you to that gutter then, peasant😂
it’s so cosy , and us peasants are rather real and Pleasant,LOL
I asked him to “ come back and say that”—when he can do a ‘pop-up’ on a board with one hand, on a moving wave.
not just a moving wave FFS Pipe!
We heard you the first time, and who the fuck says ‘pop-up’? Go back to the inertia.
Him?
plenty of has beens also
Come back and say that—when you can do a ‘pop-up’ on a board with one hand, on a moving wave.
you do realize you’re commenting about literacy……..on Beach Grit?…???
Bu… bu… but, need fuel for muh belief bias!
Honestly – what has Bethany EVER DONE in life worthy of mention other than getting her left arm bitten off by a shark?
Once she started opening her mouth to make it clear just how uneducated and what an extremist, ultraconservative, bigoted, fanatical Taliban-level right wing Christian nutcase she actually is, she got the sack straight away from Rip Curl, as a multi-national company cannot have a religious bigot as a spokesperson.
cry more , liberal
Kapaa High school has a lot to answer for
She’s probably a fan of Project 1012.5.
HAAaaaaaa goddman
Took me a minute, but LOL
that’s funny
The year King AEthelred the Unready tried to pay off Viking raider Thorkell the Tall to cease Danish aggression against England.
If surfing was in the paralympics she’d put her hand up I reckon..
Sharkbanz good, Olympics bad. Got it.
