Stay at North Shore resort where surf icon was found dead in the tub of his condo, murdered at the behest of a North Shore gangster.
Fears the headquarters of the World Surf League had been burned to the ground during fires still engulfing the prettier parts of Los Angeles were, mercifully, unfounded when fans were reminded the League had got out of Santa Monica a year back and into a bleak veterinarian office in El Segundo, fifteen miles south.
Further fears the world tour may have vanished given the lack of noise coming from Studio WSL, billionaire Dirk Ziff simply shuttering the whole show in disgust, were also unfounded when the League unveiled its VIP package for the upcoming Lexus Pipe Pro, Jan 27 through Feb 8.
Each follows the below routine:
“Each night, we’ll get a head’s up from the WSL if heats will be running the next day. On heat days, Jamie and our crew of guides will lead the group over to the event to watch the heats from the VIP booth and take in the scene. On off days, we’ll break into smaller groups based on surf skill and interest to find the right breaks for surfers of every level. While the North Shore has heavy waves like Pipeline, there are also lots of spots better suited for beginners and intermediates. And beyond the surf, the North Shore has amazing hikes and nature for some diversity. In this evening, you’ll be free to enjoy the Turtle Bay resort!”
There is no other hotel on the surf circuit as storied as the Turtle Bay Hotel, a tired ol gal built in 1972 and launched as the grandiosely named Del Webb’s Kuilima Resort Hotel & Country Club a little way out of the seven-mile miracle on the Kam Highway.
It was here the 11th Earl of Coventry and high-profile British pro surfer, Ted Deerhurst, was found dead in the tub of his condo, murdered at the behest of a shadowy North Shore gangster.
Ten gees, or close enough to it for the VIP package, is a little steep even for someone like your old pal DR who ain’t afraid to shed a few leaves for a good time. Best time I ever had on the North Shore featured a bunk bed at the Billabong house, a few Oxys and an eight-ball courtesy of a very storied surfer and a farewell visit to Honolulu’s famously well-washed hookers.
Doth the ten thousand dollar Lexus VIP package tempt you?
Or are you interested in WSL VIP access, but still have questions? Click here!
Can you judge a heat as well in that package ? ,,
13k in 4 months in Indo you must be doing the entire thing first class.
The pipe pro will be over and done within the first 6 days, regardless of the conditions.
fuck the surfers and the viewers, WSL needs to satifisfy their VAL tech bros.

Yeah nah. Only 6 nights?comp has a 12 day waiting period.
I’ll cover 2/3rds of the VIP access price if BG covers the other third in exchange for daily articles for the great unwashed BGers and a post event recap. Do we have a deal?

Last despairing throw of the dice from the Ziff man. Though desperate and muti billionaire status don’t add up. Ego is playing it’s part here in my most humble opinion. The Deerhurst thing could be turned into one of those whodunnit type weekends full of fun and frivolity.
squiddy
Shelling out $8495 is the closest BG will ever get to a WSL media pass.
Thank goodness.
So I guess Lyndie is the host/cleaner of the Billabong house as usual?
Definitely not. She’d be long gone. Authentic Brands only has minimum wage workers.
That lady is NOT minimum anything.
I hope you kicked the oxys.
I would purchase this package if they carried me in a throne hoisted on their shoulders the entire trip…. just like the prince Henry article a few back.
Strapped to the front of Kai Borg in an oversized baby harness.
i didn’t even think of that option. That would be the best way to experience the North Shore x Lexus Pipe Masters Pro
Hows the California bg contingent holding up?
This is all pretty sad to see, if not entirely unexpected. Fire intensity will increase along with dryer conditions.
I guess eventually we’ll get all the articles from the surf journalists who live in the area, such as Brisick et al.
Read about 160kph winds stoking the shit out of the fires – sounds crazy
I have a few questions for our cali brothers and sisters…I am hearing that there is no water to fight fires as there have been massive dumps (billions of gallons) of rainwater into the Pacific Ocean, the fire chief is a DEI hire and incompetent, the forest service no longer clears brush (fuel for fires) because of mouse habitat, the mayor is another DEI hire and also incompetent, there isn’t one dollar in FEMA because the $$ was spent on border jumpers AND it seems as if most customers lost their fire insurance a few months ago. You guys have the highest taxes in the country, and from where I am sitting, around 3,000 miles away, it seems like your government has failed you. We just lived thru Russiagate, the plandemic, 51 intelligence officials claiming hunters laptop was Russian interference, peegate, etc….so we all know we can’t believe everything we read lol. So, is what I am hearing true, and more importantly, are you indoctrinated morons going to continue to vote democrat??
The mayor was elected, FEMA has nothing to do with immigration, the rivers were diverted for drinking water and sewer, larger storms and drier weather from climate change, and there are 29 fire district chiefs in LA County. Have a great day
You forgot to address pizzagate, area 51, the moon landing , JFK’s assasination and sasquatch.
Stay tuned for me podcast, Substack, YouTube channel, merch
I guess you shouldn’t vote republican because a hurricane hit Florida
So you’re the one QAnon cult member on Beachgrit. Blaming a lack of water in hydrants, in a city of 10 million, on the naturally occurring process known as the water cycle is the dumbest thing I’ve heard since blaming Haitian immigrants for eating our pets. God bless.
Nope life long libtard. ‘Naturally occurring process known as the water cycle’. Come on man you are not talking to your wife here. Save your word salad for someone who doesn’t know any better. California hasn’t built a reservoir since the 70’s. There are massive water dumps yearly because they lack the infrastructure to store it. Enjoy the high speed railroad you retard.
is his wife not smart
And the Haitians were definitely eating cats. Tell Brian Stelter I said hello
Do they have gangsters on the North Shore? Who knew?
something something “bodies in canefields and on Marconi’s land.”
Inquiring minds want to know.
Tech Bros’ package, to be paid in bitcoins
Since owning a Lexus it’s amazing the number of Lexi you see around… because that’s the plural.
I need to know the plural for a lot of white Teslas. A herd , a pack a swarm? Seems like every other person here owns one.
TessLickTheGlove
a ‘stench’.
I had a Teslarian parked next to me who was complaining about getting sand in they’s car after a surf session and how important it was to dry off they’s surfboard and put it in the travel bag before carefully placing the board in they’s pristine white Model Y. Mrs Madeoff was impressed I didn’t disparage they after listening to that shit.
Yeah, dream cars. If the cops hadn’t destroyed my first one running a red light I would’ve stayed on the OG, just bought a second.
I always thought Erik Logan was the Alan Partridge of professional surfing.
Hard pass. I’m saving for a day of being yelled at by Raimana… “Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!”
I used to call you Prince Gil but now I just call you brother.
For an additional $250 you get a free punch in the head from Fast Eddie (it used to be free but these are da times )
hes too old to throw anymore
You disgusting degenerate I love it
Billabong house. Eightball. Hmmm…
After the eight-ball…billiards! Very civilised.
That killer package
Is aimed fairly and squarely
At Erik Logan
Upon arriving at the airport pickup wearing fake moustache and being queried by the WSL staff as to his identity: “ Why, me? No, my name is… Derick… Clogam”
“I’d like to buy some hydrogen peroxide please.”
I think Eric being stuck to a boy might be a dead give away at customs

Apologies, the line was “12 bottles of bleach please”
