Critics label surf brand’s I Hate Surfing clothing range “arrogant and disrespectful”

Want to show the world what it used to be like to be a surfer?

The surfing news site BeachGrit, although calling it a news site might be stretching the limits a little, has been slammed as “arrogant” and “disrespectful” by critics after the release of its I Hate Surfing clothing range. 

BeachGrit, whose Californian founder Chas Smith, posts semi-regular rants against surf ponchos, beach carts and vulnerable adult learner surfers in his YouTube channel under the banner, I Hate Surfing, created the three-piece ensemble with Bondi-based surf clothing brand The Critical Slide Society. 

Critics label surf brand’s I Hate Surfing capsule as “arrogant and disrespectful”

A previous collaboration was responsible for a pair of surf trunks the same critics, then, described as “ambitious, beautifully made and stunning.” 

This pair of trunks, which you can examine below although they have long sold out, featured a custom-made badge from iconic Australian artist Paul McNeil showcasing the founders’ ethos, “I Don’t Need Life I’m High” and with Eric Stoltz’s “Stoner Bud” from Fast Time at Ridgemont High representing BeachGrit’s spirit animal.

The Critical Slide Society, of course, are intelligent and intuitive designers who make clothes surfers really, really want to wear.

The latest collaboration is a three-pack I Hate Surfing ensemble wrapped in a red-white-and-blue  vintage NSAA-style logo. The trunks cost ninety Australian dollars, the t-shirt sixty and the hat forty although buy it as a collection and it will cost 150 instead of 190.

If you pay with American dollars, very much cheaper even with twenty bucks Australian shipping.

Buy here.

Also, still available to bespoke order, are Damion Fuller’s I Hate Surfing ashtrays and oversized mugs. Eighty-five apiece, Australian shekels.

He’ll pack and send ’em anywhere in the world. Free to ship in Australia, thirty-five dollars, Australian, to Europe and the US.

A little wait too ‘cause he’s gotta make ‘em at his little off-the-grid studio. 

So bespoke!

I just can’t see why anyone would hate surfing these days? We just had a riveting 90 minute “poddy” from lesbian core lord KK, that I dont reckon barely any cunt watched, whinging about how hard she had it 20 years ago, and stab is becoming more like an online Woman’s Weekly every time I’m bored enough to go on there.
Surfing was fucked when it used to be about getting some waves and having a laugh with your mates. This new all inclusive version where you get some woke, all inclusive agenda shoved down your throat is so much more exciting and is elevating surfing to new platforms which surely has to be a good thing?
Stab have even said they are going to do in depth reports on how the currently pregnant Sheilas are doing if they come back on tour and report on the the support and guidelines that have been set in place by the Weird Seppo League. Is that not positively amazing? I cant wait. I wonder how severe Tylers periods are at the moment, or if she can breathe again yet? What an Aussie battler ay haha

There’s no way in hell I’m paying $60 for a tshirt, as much as I’d love to rock that.
Money is way-the-fuck too tight for that game.

BTW isn’t the term ‘Changing poncho’ a bit racist against Chinese people who may or may not be named Chang?

Get a pallet of $5 Chinese cotton T’s and print up a pirate version to sell for $20 in carparks everywhere.

Use the proceeds to rent out Ke11y’s pool instead of meeting at Tower 9 and Larry’s Beach Club…

So, to show all this VALs that they are wrong in spending crazy amounts of money on useless ‘surf gear” and that the state of surf “culture” is fucked, the solution is to buy a $100 pair of shorts that says I hate the whole thing! Sign me up, one of each please

“The UK government is having to borrow money to pay the interest on the money it’s already borrowed. To put it in terms Keir Starmer can understand, that’s like having to borrow money from tonight’s Ukrainian rent boy to pay off yesterday’s Ukrainian rent boy. Except that the fetching Donbas twinks would already have blown up your car.”

Oh dear sorry Mike I seem to have hit a bit of a raw nerve, dont worry I’m sure things will pick up soon when the ranga kings tariffs start kicking in. Personally I reckon that 30% one he imposed on a deserted island in the Arctic where only penguins live should be a real money spinner for yous. As for shit, cheesy slogans we dont need them cuz Straya Is Great Already cunt xx
