"I wanna be where the boys are."
Now, we all know that surfing has lost a little of its “cool.” maybe even a lot of it. Surf coach parents, Abu Dhabi wave tanks, magic wetsuits, Wavestorms, Bay Boy decimation etc. etc. and so it is completely understandable that surf fans, far and wide, joined in a collective fist pumping after Joan Jett & the Blackhearts were announced as headliners for the U.S. Air Force Super Girl Pro which is slated to run Nov. 8 – 10 at Jacksonville Beach, Florida.
Cherry bomb.
The contest, deemed the “world’s largest female surf event in the world” Word Qualifying Series 3000 meaning that winners will obtain points for the Championship Tour.
As it so happens, CeeLo Greenn will also be performing. He was once partners with Andre 3000.
Love is pain.
The draw includes 96 of the hottest up-and-comers around including Zoe Benedetto, Nora Liotta, Kirra Pinkerton, Zoe McDougall, Kohai Fierro and more.
Fake friends.
Surfline is reporting current conditions in Jacksonville Beach to be “solid chunky wind peaks. Strong onshore winds and choppy conditions,” and projecting clean 3 – 4ft surf for the contest window.
You don’t know what you got.
Joan Jett & the Blackhearts will take the stage Saturday night on Saturday, Nov 9th and be proceeded by Hello Sister, Hannah Wicklund and Artikal Sound System. The show is free.
I wanna be where the boys are.
The World Surf League has, of course, tried its hand at musical artists and Championship Tour competitions. Who could forget two years ago when…. a popular band played at the Surf Ranch Pro? With Abu Dhabi coming up, might the “global home of surfing” dip its hand back into that bag and invite a musical act to close it out?
I love playin’ with fire.

Surf comp supporters are garbage people.

Joe has german shepherds.

I thought you meant Joe Turpel and he became interesting for 5 seconds.
Turpel invented the mcmuffin!!
Will Tyler and her wife be there ?
What about Kealla Kennelly et al ?
Has Joan ever played Abu Dhabi ?
Would she play Abu Dhabi if Tyler, her wife, and Kealla et al were there ?
These are the questions that need answering Chas.
Or is that Derek’s dept ?
Is November 9th a Saturday?

“Nah, we’re been called that since the 60s…” and…
“Surf nazis must die”…
Since you mentioned Abu Dhabi,
saw this on the news yesterday.

Don’t know if any of them were from Slater’s new wave tank though.
Different country, bro.
Joan has a tendency of getting into sword fights at the beach though https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
again, it’s not a Beach Party w/o The Beach Boys….
Little surfer, little one
Made my heart come all undone
Do you love me, do you, surfer girl?
Surfer girl, my little surfer girl
I have watched you on the shore
Standing by the ocean’s roar
Do you love me, do you, surfer girl?
Surfer girl, surfer girl…
Cause that’s what ELO was singing to…lil Wade C. and/or a bulging JMD (who took major offense).
QS 5000 Cloud 9 scored all day. Joan who? https://www.youtube.com/live/wXpLdbzNO8o?si=NSPxTgTq0xDmDOvC
John Mark Tokong. 1:45 minutes in. the new face of WSL…? who won?
At 66 years old Joan will really hit that youth market button.
Hoping for a guest appearance from Curren playing ukulele. Then they’ll nail it.
Weekend at Bernies is big with da youts
I saw the Raconteurs at Surf Ranch in 2019, and they rocked out. It Was interesting to see a band from 3 metres away, after not going to concerts for a few years prior.
Along with the free water bottle, which I still use, I felt as though I got my money’s worth from that contest.
A crowd of 47 cap wearing 47 year olds was almost as good as them playing in your lounge.
“Sunday night, Rodney’s on the air.
He’s beating-off in Joan Jett’s hair…”

need to play the vinyl at 45 speed so as to hear the lyrics. too much like The Ramones. not a fan of dem or Joan, both of whom the teenie girls never heard of…
Angry Samoans were nothing like the Ramones. The fact that Rodney Bingenheimer was reduced to teeth chattering fury at the mere mention of their name was epic.
rock is dead. long live rock! Rod is one funny lookin’ MFer…as are most rock critics…
“Fake friends.”
“You don’t know what you got.”
“I wanna be where the boys are.”
You shouldn’t hit the bottle at 9am. It makes you write things that don’t make any sense whatsoever. You also might end up an angry tweaker like that Sean Volland fuckstick that disappeared hisself.
The Runaways released “Cherry Bomb” a year before MR shaped his first twin fin.
The Runaways-Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, its all the same when you’re drunk at 9am.
That is such an awesome tune.
“Can’t stay at home, can’t stay in school” ….up there as a best opening line.
Joan Jett watched her band mate in Runaways get raped, and didn’t help.
