"I couldn’t move anymore, and my arms and my legs gave up."
The Hawaiian Jason Momoa is, by all accounts, a terrific actor known for his work in action thrillers, heroic films, and blockbusters.
Momoa embodies a raw, magnetic charisma that’s both primal and polished. This quality makes him perfect for the rock-and-cock films he is famous for.
This incident illustrates the risks involved in extreme sports and the importance of having a reliable support system.
At forty-six, Jason Momoa lives in a customised $750,000 EarthRoamer XV-LTi RV while traveling for work. Previously, he owned a secluded house in Mokuleia on Oahu’s North Shore.
He also had a stylish place in Tango, California, during his marriage to Lisa Bonet.
Recently, he faced a harrowing moment while enjoying the water. Momoa was on a thirteen-mile open-sea SUP with friends Dave Kalama and Laird Hamilton when his leash snapped amid ten-foot waves.
“I was on the outer reef, waving my paddle, but they couldn’t see me.”
Laird Hamilton, a surf god who surpasses even Momoa, eventually rescued him.
“I couldn’t see anyone coming for me. I felt paralyzed as my body gave up… I couldn’t move. I bubbled down, screaming inside, and my foot hit the outer reef… I don’t know if it was a whale or just a rock, but I reached down, grabbed it, jumped up, got hit by another wave, and dug my feet into the coral. I struggled to keep my lips above water for a breath. I hung on the reef for 10 minutes until Laird arrived, towing his board. I got on, and he asked if I was alright, and I said, ‘No.’”
Crazy.

I’ll take things that didn’t happen for $500 Alex
“if there is no peace and quiet for Jason… to sleep … I want peace…. and quiet for Jason… I want peace… for him… And I will take it. I will wake him up”
Can’t wait to see this movie
Momoa is just like me.
“Are you alright?”
“No!”
Jason’s Aumakua is like literally a giant white guy on a paddleboard. He should write a screenplay about his near literally drowning.
Cunt looks fitter as fuck?
Maybe it’s just gym. Whatever. Imagine being 6.5 and beings a tank who fucked Lisa Bonet and sleighed the mother of dragons. Dudeee..
lisa bonet was hot in the 80’s. its 2025. he can do better
He has. Google Adria Arjona. She’s a young stunner, with Latin blood.
Adria Arjona. Probably the hottest girl (famous girl) he’s pulled so far. Could use a bit more up front, but she’s genuinely gorgeous.
Bonet is a 5 at best when compared to Southern sorority girls and/or their mothers

You say momoa I say mamoa
let’s fuck the whole thing off
but FFS…a story with surfers in it, saving a Hawaiian celeb…….at sea……wow….??
“I get on and he’s like ‘Are you alright?’ and I’m like ‘No.”
“….and then I’m like, Remember to watch Chief of War on Apple TV….we like filmed for like almost one month in Hawaii and spent like the remaining $340 million production budget in like New Zealand and Los Angeles…and he’s like….I will Bro!”
side note: after Fiji it will be 7 months before the begging of the 2026 WSL season.
two Jason Momoa sharticles per week x 7 months equals about 56 Jason Momoa articles.
Can’t wait to hear Chas and Scales tongue juggling his momoarbles on The Grit.
fact check…Chief of war spent $272 m in NZ the rest in Hawaii…..do you really think Jason has any say in production?
Pretty cool story of being saved by Laird…
According to the interview he created and wrote the show and is building studios in NZ + Hawaii, so, yeah?
…and has discussed becoming a New Zealand citizen.
double citizenship?
$272M out of $340M ($45M in Hawaii) meaning $45M going to talent and Producers. Jason Momoa Executive Producer, Producer, Writer, Director, Lead Actor….and yes, as Producer and more importantly DIRECTOR he has a ton of say.
the Director is the person that actually makes the location choice, so yes….much say.
more bang for his bucks…and maths…..$68m spent in Hawaii……no-one needs anything that’s made in the USA…lesser quality and more expensive!
The show is pretty good…just saying.
Is that half a mile Hawaiian of Surfline?
Half a mile or 800 odd meters , actually thats not that far if your a hell man ocean supper ..im calling Flick on that one momo
Momoa
Dang.
AI crocodile and AI Jason Mamoa images all in the same day, but what about AI Jason Mamoa as Captain Hook running from an AI crocodile?

Epic!
Maybe he’ll acknowledge BG’s existence with all these sharticles… after the next one, surely
Remember when Jonah Hill was “heir to the throne of Miki Dora” until he told them to fuck off.
here’s a little treasure….BG made up the Jona Hill stuff…he’s a really good guy, really passionate about surfing…and ..I make bds and send them from Australia for him…he went from a 38 waist to 31 all because of his passion fro surfing
Fuck man. What’s a regular non Hollywood type gotta do to have a MC underfoot!!
Send him an email with your dimensions and a bank-certified cheque for the amount of the board.
or go to website….
order one,LOL
You’re not wrong, boss. At the same time his ex gf leaked his text messages to her with some very problematic (controlling) behaviour. Very over the top.
She jumped off of his gravy train instead of staying with a controlling man. I won’t judge because I wasn’t there, but the text messages are not the communications of a “good” person.
yeah when he laid down some of his morals etc…it was all over and she was scorned and we all know about a woman scorned?
Are you sure he is ozempic free?
yep…..I have never come across anyone as passionate as Jonah…surfing and more surfing…slimmed down from 220+ lbs to 145…
Dang..my trajectory is the complete opposite. Less passion, less surfing, weight increasing.
God that was embarrassing
Poor Derek having to write that.
Well similarly some might say that Beachgrit saved my life or was it saved by giving up cocaine in the 80s? Or maybe it was saved by the Herbie Fletcher longboard I just picked up? Sometimes life can be rather confusing!
Getting your bumhole fingered by the doctor can save your life!

On a serious note, I’m living proof of the benefits of early detection and an extended life due to that horrible exam and the miserable joys of the subsequent biopsies.
On a less serious note, I called one of my gay friends after the fact and told him I don’t see any other benefits of anything going up there…
Haha. A tickle and kiss is nice, but no one has found my mythical g-spot yet!
That is a bit intrusive for me!
Xox
I’ve had offers from experts in the region who want to help me find it. BUT NO THANKS!
Haha, it would be hard to put that genie back in the bottle!
Xox
He stood up on a rock on an outer reef?
So the story goes! Breathtaking yes?
He’s rather tall, you know.
Always wondered how deep
Phamtom’s is?
