I love you, surfing. You are the best, surfing.
There is still time but barely. Tomorrow (or today for our southern hemisphere brothers and sisters) is International Surfing Day. The occasion when surfers everywhere shower surfing with the praise and attention, love and care it deserves during the rest of the calendar year but sometimes doesn’t get.
Like Mother’s Day, it is best to let surfing sleep in on International Surfing Day and present it with a nice rose and cup of tea when it leisurely awakes which it can enjoy quietly without being bothered. Later, when surfing has had a chance to collect itself, it is wise to take it to a champagne brunch, letting it get a little silly and chatty. Afterwards, it’s time to head home to let surfing nap before serving it a nice home cooked dinner and allowing it retire early to watch its favorite television program (The Young and the Restless) without doing any of the cleanup.
If you have children, have them write letters to surfing. Encourage them to dig deep for more meaning and greater feeling than simple tropes like “I love you, surfing” and “you are the best, surfing.”
Surfing is fine with simple, thoughtful gifts but won’t turn its nose up at a bauble from Van Cleef & Arpels or handbag from Hermes.
Please don’t give in to the cynical trend of calling International Surfing Day a holiday made up by the greeting card industry.
That’s mostly it, now hurry and sort your plan.
There’s a lot to stir

Some here might want to send flowers for the untimely (but partly expected)
deathcancelation of DS&SS/Timmy.He requested that this final food photo of his last supper, that he named “Wrapped Up Like A Douche”, be posted as a political comment on internet security efficiency.

And maybe send condolences to Chas & Dezz for their upcoming drop in clicks and comments income…
Wasabi sauce. That crazy SOB.
Get’m Parko!

Do all southern hemisphere brothers and sisters celebrate a day ahead? Do Brazzos and Saffas celebrate surf day earlier than us? Do surfers in Japan celebrate it at all or are they too busy decking out their mini surf vans? More questions than answers
Poor old Chas, he’s always been a bit dyslexic when it comes to knowing his north/south from his east/west…
Do the Japanese really deck out mini surf vans? I thought that was an Aussie thing.
Who knows, think I saw it in a Dylan Graves video. If its on the internet it must be true
Following customary affinity for tiny rooms, the Japanese can squeeze 3-4 families into one sprinter van.
Its a Pride month feature.
strange you wrote that as I was thinking; are the alphabet people getting ripped off?
So many celebrations of other things in their special month of I like to have Sex with the same sex pride, like:
Juneteenth, National Fruits & Vegetables Day, National Jerky Day, National Corn on the Cob Day, International Bath Day, Red Rose Day, Father’s Day, Global Garbage Man Day, Hike with a Geek Day, International Yoga Day, National Kissing Day, National Chocolate Eclair Day, National Pralines Day, and National Martini Day & National Pink Day for Chas’ celebration of his new Queer Surf slip ons.
many more, but when I look at the list, it seems all fit in with Alphabet People + 2 Pride month.
The gay crew were the coolest in the 80s , no politics, just mad parties .
very true….and they were great to work with…..and they used to tell the best gay jokes.
One of my best friends in the 80’s/early 90’s was Reid, the gay guy that lived across the hall. one of the nicest and funniest people I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. We had an ongoing game of gin rummy that lasted for years.
Ain’t that the truth
MDMA wouldn’t have spread around the world so quickly in the ’80’s without them..
Gays would rather suck a dick than eat a bowl of soup.. true story
My Vans aren’t slip ons. I have a very high arch and those never work.
my sincere apologies.
I too suffer from high arches. only vans I could wear were half cabs….but they don’t come in Queer Surf pink. Dang
Shout out to Cole Houshmond’s allies
my love letter to surfing:
Surfing….you are gay….and Chas Smith hates you.
Love, Happy
If WSL are involved in this most worthy International day of surf celebration then no surf is guaranteed worldwide.
I’ll buy a new longboard, but not until tomorrow, in honor of this day. Any ideas on the styling of the board from the ultimate fashion house aka The House of Chas?
FYI- My color wheel focuses on white and blue
AMERICAN FLAG!

Otto? Nah I guess not, it’s someone in the water.
The most burnest burn burned any burning man burn time.
Exceptionally lazy comment from me, but it is Saturday here.
sat ur day….it happens
You didn’t know? Negs has his own tent spot at Burning Man!
Core to the Lord
this would be on the rash guard . https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Born in Da U S ..surf in Da U S
WHOA Negs! Not unlike a Porsche branded Almond board I don’t want any more angst in the lineup than already exists. But the NZed flag is an option
hear me out here, brown. Maybe like cocoa, or hickory. brown is a super underutilized surfboard color, imho
there are already enough brown logs floating in the ocean.
ie: RJ’s after a heavy rain.
Frank, now we’re talking! But what does the House of Chas think about brown? Could it be the new black or the Vans with socklets look we all crave?
Shhhh, don’t let the cat out of the bag by asking Chas, just slyly order brown, and don’t look back.
Is turd brown the edgy color or should I go lighter?
good question!, but you have options, personally I’d go darker coffee on the bottom and a lighter mocha top; maybe throw on a pinline in something warm like purple to give a little contrast
Keep those lam guys workin’!
I generally dont like brown, save for ’70s mocha brown on a 911, but this has legs.
yep on the 70s Porsche colors, the brown was great, I also loved the optic yellow
I knew an old WWII B-17 engineer who owned a German repair shop that built a ’72 911 using a yellow that might have been optic yellow. He was a classic, as was the car, and he always drove it wearing a black cowboy hat.
Just a little… yeah
I get it, wasting talent is a talent you hold near and dear here, but geez dude, even wasted Matthew McConaughey is not alright, alright, alright with this much wasted.
Gotta have talent before you can waste it.
Boom! Roasted!
“911….”
“I’d like to report a murder.”
… And what’s your location…..?
This is exactly why I keep emphasizing that one must have a floral arrangement plan in place.
A floral retainer, brilliant!
The House of Chas demands this!
The House of Chas has a permanent floral carpet, so he’s always prepared…
