But a silver lining?
The political left and right may be extremely far apart, these days, across all subsets very much including surf. Already prone to tribalism, surfers fight, fight, fight over board volume and stance throughout the day. Throwing the recent presidential election into the mix and a landslide victory by Donald Trump leading directly to even greater divisions.
Shortboarders from Huntington sneering at longboarders from Capo Beach and screaming at them to “go back to Mexico.” Similar things happening in Florida except instead of Mexico, longboarders are being told to go back to Puerto Rico.
Dark days ahead. The end of even the flimsiest concept of a “surf world?”
Enter The Inertia.
The “definitive voice of surfing and the outdoors” took the moment to release its “winter gear guide” beginning thusly:
It’s that time of year again. The water is getting colder, the waves are getting bigger, and it’s just about time to dig those booties and hooded fullsuit out of the closet where they’ve been hibernating for the summer. In winter, surfing changes from a carefree sun-soaked activity to a ritualistic and gear-heavy affair, all in the name of staying warm.
The gear:
Shortboarders and longboarders, Shredders for Harris and Barrel Hounds for Trump, goofies and regulars each holding each other’s hair back as they take turns vomiting due the sheer sartorial assault.
Unified.

wait, how many Disqus handles do you actually have🤣😂😜?
The word Inertia shouldn’t even be allowed on the surf internet, as these jokers, imposters, kooks, sell-outs, shouldn’t even be called surfers, using a website to peddle their propaganda and misqguided articles all as a cloak to make $$ for Zack and his cronies.
These Inertia guys don’t even deserve to be called surfers—sell-outs the whole bunch of them. A disgrace to the surfing community, from Zack to Haro to Cranberry, to Cooper et al. Some one has to keep tabs on these guys to call out their BS and expose them for what they are. Surf sell-out scum.
A disgrace to the surf-world….

I heard that sharkban leash thingies are banned in WA due to the idea that they possibly getting Teh Noahs all excited.
only if you use them as a cock ring
Have you been peeping in my windows again?
Nah, I’m burning, hassling, and snaking anyone I see with a Trump sticker in the parking lot
Trump’s Princess Ivanka extends her pearly whites with an offer to go on a maga surf trip. you on board?

Poor lil babby… sounds as if Mommy needs to make you take a nap. Let’s start a GoFundMe page to keep Com in pacifiers for the next four years. 😆
says the guy who voted for the biggest crybaby in American history to run the country😂😂😂
How could you possibly know how i voted? You’ll never understand the first thing about me. It’s just like you to answer with a strawman, however. It’s comical and rather pathetic how you allow (practically invite) Trump to live rent-free in you’re head.
Educated guess, but your use of the “rent-free in your head” idiom is both a further confirmation and a dead giveaway😂.
Not at all. I’d say the very same thing about Kamala, if she had won, and people here were crying about it.
You are correct regarding the “educated” bit, however.
I’m correct that I am educated? I certainly hope so!
Just talk nicely to them. The institutions we used to keep them in, were just too terrible. Just keep enough distance so the drewl doesn’t get on you. LoL
Do you or does anyone have a kamala sticker on their tesla?
I’m more of a truck guy than an Elon cuck, but us sane people don’t put political bumper stickers on our vehicles.
At leazt Youll never have to vote again, ever.
the civil war starts at my local
The idea of Harris shredding is mind boggling. Shredded more like it.
Just as many people secretly voted for Trump in the privacy of the voting booth (or mail-in ballot), so Chas is secretly an avid Inertia reader, and gleefully orders their fashion suggestions on Amazon from the anonymity of his computer keyboard. How could this not be the case?
Those Teva’s say; “lock me in a locker after homeroom”!
