400,000 liters of diesel later, the Place of Skulls awaits...
Meta founder and chief Mark Zuckerberg might have been sad, post-election day, what with his nemesis Elon Musk bouncing around on stage next to Donald J. Trump. The fourth richest man in the world, just south of Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison and the aforementioned South African rocket enthusiast. You certainly recall a hand full of months ago when the two went back and forth challenging each other to fights on social media. Zuckerberg had enjoyed showcasing his BJJ skills, but before that he was much about the surf life.
The former Harvard University class pervert purchased a large plot of land on Kauai and admitted to Lex Fridman, the popular podcaster, that fear doesn’t stand in the way of his getting radical. “I, uh, train hard,” he whisped, “So if I’m gonna go out in a 15-foot wave then I’ll make sure we have the right safety gear, make sure I’m used to that spot and all that stuff.”
Well, his safety gear in Tahiti will now include his superyacht. The $300 million freighter just made the 12-day trip from San Francisco to Papeete, burning 400,000 liters of smelly diesel along the way, and is now ready for the 40-year-old to crush Teahupo’o. Yes, the Place of Skulls, there at the “end of the road,” is as iconic in any in surfing and has broken the wills of other radical boys in the past, including two-time world surfing champion Filipe Toledo.
There is no word, as of yet, when Zuckerberg will commence his Teahupo’o conquering, but do you imagine it will cause Toledo to take another mental health year just ahead of the 2025 World Surf League Championship Tour?
Do you have opinions of superyachts, in general?
I much prefer sailing under wind but I’m not an overly radical boy so maybe that’s passé.

All of the blood in the water was amazing to see as well as his super human strength to walk on the beach after the harrowing rescue was impressive! That video caused me a sleepless night last night.
I have a feeling the French might win.
masked singer on the EUO show was actually a housewife and a her jewish baker husband…”Hoe did you survive?”
….. Billy your finger smells weird.

I love that there are 50 Tahitian kids with no money who could out surf this goon at Chopes
seaweed farmers and coral planters benefit only~aqua culture is a tough business…need spiny lobsters and uni SB~
Isn’t this like going to the north shore in June and claiming you charged pipe
Will Slater be his coach for this training session and can you guys dispatch Jen See or another of your worthy journalists, if she is busy, to report on this incredibly exciting event?
Tulsi in charge of the spy agencies now, just fyi … Ke11y now one degree removed from the CIA
Hillary Clinton said this of Gabbard: “I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. She’s the favorite of the Russians.”
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Imagine making a surfer director of intelligence. Doesn’t Trump know we’re retarded?
That’s registration. It’s the name of someone who died. They taught me the value of a relationship with “nature”. LoL, somebody at Boston Whaler likes the lettuce. 42ft. turns into 420 over bongs.
Sell it and buy a Radon.
Well made craft. But, a little light on the comfort.
12, 13, 16, 18, pangas…radon’s are 18, 24, 36…
Should have been on the Titanic this bloke. Could have sucked a berg and saved thousands of lives.
Is it possible to be a billionaire and nacht have a yacht?
If its a billion cents
“former Harvard University class pervert”
heh!
He’s probably gonna get taught the ways of TayahWhoPawAw by Uriahs’s coach.
Or Uriah…
Crossing oceans in a sailboat way more radical than a superyacht. Actual cowboy shit on a sailboat. Slow does not equate to soft.
The new yacht flex is having a second boat to hold the helicopters, jet skis, stuff like that. I think they often have boat crew living on the support boats. Here is a photo of Zucks called “Wingman”:

Ship tracking shows that Wingman coast of Baja heading south west 7 days ago, so it’s probably also in Tahit:

My boat is nowhere near that fleet. Just the maintenance picture is what’s got me blown away. Just keeping up the Merc’s on a Boston Whaler 420 is a wallet bender. Imagine these vessels maintenance ticket….
Sitting at $30 mil per year for the superyacht alone according the fools at this site https://www.superyachtfan.com/yacht/launchpad/
You kind of lose control of your life, when you have to have that many people holding your pants up for you.
I saw this guy at Twin Harbors a few years back. Looked cooler than the boat it was supporting. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Hate myself for all the hours I’ve wasted on FB, padding Zuck’s tiny dick pockets. But not as much as I hate myself for wasting all my time on BG, padding DR and Charlie’s tiny dick pockets.
The utils of satisfaction you receive from time spent on BG, while making those two richAF should be well worth it. I on the other hand will now contemplate shorting $META due to the possibility of the botox and hair perm boy drowning at the hallowed break.
Stock price would rise without zuck
I want to see the cost per nut or cost per loafer index!
8000 comments and I need to check myself.
But hopefully 8000 got Dez a wristy from a tranny and Choslos half a slipper!
Xox
Having sailed to Tahiti and beyond as a young lad I can say it’s a very good thing for a boy, radical or not.
Alas, I believe sail power is too slow for a busy fucker like zucker. Took us 24 days to get from Mexico to the Marquesas, and ain’t no silicon valley titan got time for that
Did CSn&Y write a song about your experience sailing around the Marquesas?
Met Stills in a bar, was very interested in my boyhood travels down the ol’ coconut milk run, sold him the story for two shots of mescal, no regrets
THIS!!! On a serious note, that song is top 30 all time for me even though I’m not a serious CSN&Y disciple.
Maybe Fuck should start with learning how to actually surf first. Can’t imagine towing behind a jet ski on a foil board will be helpful at Tear-a-hole-in-your-ass.
HEY! You stay out of Fuck’s way. This might be the most entertaining choice he’s made,….for all of us. My gut tells me he is going to pay for this choice in some way….and we’ll get to clown the kook.
No way in hell he paddles into anything. He might get towed into a small one but nothing bigger than the Cowardly Lion would paddle into.
