Inventor of the climb-and-drop method of tuberiding drives the anti-Musk crowd nuts…again!
Two days ago we welcomed news that surf icon ShaunTomson had set off leftists worldwide with his fulsome praise of tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who is also, like Tomson, a South African.
“Like him or not, he is a futurist and we better step there with our eyes open,” wrote the 1977 world surf champ, a man described by Matt Warshaw as an “Innovative and aristocratic regularfooter and inventor of the climb-and-drop method of tuberiding.”
Elon Musk haters quickly pounced on Tomson’s post.
For sure is a futurist, but he is also the one is also the one who spent words to support Alternative für Deutschland (AfD extreme right party, fascist/nazist) in Germany. Here in Europe the far right is growing, also in Italy, and this must be fought if we do not want history to repeat.
he’s destroying democracy in American…buying politicians to do his bidding. I wonder would you be ok with him doing that to your country…a place he left to become a US citizen
paving the road to dystopia. one crypto coin at a time. there’s nothing futuristic about a return to the late nineteenth century robber baron age. just because it looks futuristic doesn’t mean it is. a futurist is more like buckminster fuller or frank lloyd wright. musk is just a greedy douche. as long as humans don’t ride on his spaceships, designed and engineered by others with lack of attention to the kind of process required for man rated spaceflight, at least no one will get killed.
Shaun Tomson, who turns seventy this year, was off grid with his wife Carla when the sparks flew, and only saw the flames late yesterday when he quickly posted on Facebook.
“What a surprise about my last Elon Musk post – so much negative sentiment about this futurist-like him or hate him, you better take note of him,” Tomson wrote. “My mission is to spread a positive wave of hope and purpose around the world and bring people together through the Surfer’s Code so I was surprised with the darkness.”
And, then, Tomson delivered the sort of coupe de grace he used to reserve for his tour competitors.
The song, Take Me Home, although not to be confused with the John Denver classic, is exhilarating and audacious. I defy the listener to come away with a mind unchanged.
And, yet, amid a sea of converts, all praising Shaun Tomson’s positivity, a few staunch holdouts.
A man who hordes wealth at the expense of the poor and aligns himself with the worst of us is no role model for the future of our planet.
if dystopia is the future then musk is a futurist.
go back to sa and stay out of US politics
are you now going to normalize his Hail Hitler salute? Sounds to me like you are being selective in where you want to seek your information. Are you normalizing his “freedom of speech” approach on his Social Media platform? Where you can’t criticize him but you can spread hate speech, misogyny, and racism?
Good luck with your soul, Shaun. What a disappointment you turned out to be.
Did song convert you?
Do you now believe Elon Musk is a man of infinite heart or do you believe he still dresses his foulness up in perfume and wit?
Blocking Otto feels incredible
You loose the whole argument before it even started. Today’s surfing sucks. How many more air reverses will it take for you to understand?
or cleaner fish…
https://uploads.disquscdn.c… … shit talking ST while I stare at a ~50 yr old poster on my office wall of him getting shacked, lol
The Dude Abides!
Time to throw another sticker on the Con’s surfer code sign.
Elons an awkward genius and says strange stuff, but he aint no nazi

What is the message in this song
https://youtu.be/bm51ihfi1p4?si=AtKnk-PyMXUZyAYL
not sure, im too sedated
“fill us with the Light. Give us the strength to understand, and the eyes to see. Teach us to walk the soft earth as relatives to all that live.”
We are running out of “forgives”, for all of you.
The images I’m seeing Gaza has been leveled people. Crazy..
I wouldn’t mention that here or you might hurt Derek’s feelings.
hitler did nothing wrong
Docking is not just a manoeuver for astronauts.
😂
Elon prefers it uncircumcised
Shaun claiming to be off grid but on Facebook sums it up . What a fuckstick , fuck you Shaun
Fuck you Derek
I clicked that song link in good faith
And you fuck me up with THAT ?
You will suffer Derek
You will SUUUUFFFEERR ! …
sooo glad I no clicky the song.
I didn’t even read the article!
Article? I think you mean blog post.
They referenced you in it but they used a nickname called climb and drop
Fake political internet fighting is way better than fake surf fighting on the internet. But either way boooo nazis right?
It wasn’t a Nazi salute BTW
it was a Nazi Goreng salute .
the javos do the touch ya chest thing too. He just lifted it off em
It was really? Damn I should have took msnbc’s word for it too. I must be to skeptical. 😂
He’s a nice guy who only wants the best for every . . .fuck it I’m done
That’s the right attitude
Funny, I thought I was the only one spreading a positive wave of hope. Cunt stole my idea. Anyone else keen on busting down his door?
For doing the Bellamy Salute?
That’s how Americans Pledged Allegiance to the US Flag from 1892-1942.

Didn’t “The Onion” go out of business?
edit: guess not. Guess they were willing to alleviate Alex Jones’ creditor problems in bankruptcy.
Yeah, the Onion was going to buy Info Wars with the parents of those dead’s kids from the school shooting.
Why alleviate his creditor problems to any degree. He can just start another blog/vlog
That’s probably a question for the parents.
Then everything changed in 1942. Weird
No one asked Buddhists, Hindus etc. to tear down the swastika from their temples and teachings. Weird.
If he has culturally appropriated the use of a Jazzmaster I’m going to punch the cunt out.
Xox
I think he wrote it into the surfers code.
ironically, no jazz guitar players play em

Hitler would have loved the Confederates.
Hitler would have loved slavery.
Hitler would have loved the KKK.
Hitler would have loved Jim Crow laws.
Hitler would have loved fighting against passage of the Civil Rights Act.
Hitler would have hated Elon Musk using German rocket science.
I love how hilarious and fun all your posts are. You’re never one to fall into all of this partisan bickering and you should be proud of that.
You’re super funny yourself
DR: Oh, I see Otto is back! And Trump just got sworn in. I know the theme of “articles” for the next 4 months. 100+ comments each time!
I imagine there were zero articles about Trump and Biden while I was in the woods. I also imagine you made zero comments about Trump.
Now at 59 comments…and climbing!
Here’s what I imagine, Otto:

I can’t imagine why they had Garth Brooks sing Lennon’s Imagine at Carter’s funeral with lyrics like:
Imagine there’s no Heaven
its easy if you try
it was at 69 when I signed on a second ago, of course had to go down below the line and see what all the excitement was about…
imagine no yoko…
did you see any drones in the woods? seriously, they’re still everywhere and everyone quit talking about it
Nope. Lots and lots of stars. Starlink clusters too. But no drones.
Gotta play the game to get those clicks.
And the WSL
We are waiting for Wavepool memories part 2…
You’re right! It’s so obvious! Obama must be Hitler too.
