"Kelly Slater would coil you up BeachGrit kooks."
Though there are no odds, yet, nor date set, punters are growing very excited about a theoretical bout betwixt the world’s greatest competitive surfer, Kelly Slater, and BeachGrit principals Derek Rielly and Chas Smith.
The possibility of such an event burst into consciousness, days ago, when it was revealed that Slater allegedly declared his intention to punch Smith in the nose, or maybe just face, the next time he sees him. Though Rielly was not specifically mentioned,
In any case, and lightly unrelated, the 11x ASP/WSL champion was quoted on Instagram declaring that “kids should do Brazilian jiu-jitsu before any other sport.”
Slater, a new father and BJJ blue belt, continued, “If you have insecurities, they get worked out on the mat. I just think it’s a humbling thing… it gives people confidence, and I think with that confidence comes less ego and more respect for other people.”
Very interesting, all, and before we continue, a few questions:
- What are Kelly Slater’s insecurities?
- Has he been humbled in BJJ?
- Does the confidence he has gained equal less ego and more respect?
Well, a nasty humbling etc. is heading Rielly and Smith’s way if Sugar the Surfing Dog has any insight. The 5x World Dog Surfing champ, ’24 inductee to the Surfers Hall of Fame, beloved by all, quickly commented, “Kelly Slater would coil you up BeachGrit kooks.”
I would agree, except Sugar might be unaware of my MMA training, fifteen-ish years ago, with the great Richie Vaculik.
Humble in the Jumble.
Though after considering the above, do you still side with Sugar and the GOAT?
Explain.

Forget what early video, but some sponge touches up Kelly badly
Maybe Black and White?
Kelly still holds a grudge
Paul Roach! Iconic moment.
Momentum
Big long jab.
Oooooh to be Paul Roach for those few minutes
Have you seen the “NEW” Fantasy site?
Na haven’t heard anything about it. Where is it but?
I posted about it 3 times several days ago…and all got treated as SPAM
Some say the forum was great….
A relic of the past
Hahaha so its cgerk ay, has to be and the seppo cunt never told us haha
Don’t know that yet….
Could be anyone!
Could even be BBC from his island mate….
Hahahaha
Who’s behind it? I signed up.
Where is it?
https://www.reddit.com/r/su…
CGerk (Craig) was supposed to email us.
It could be someone else. Even CHOPPY hahahahahhaha
https://old.reddit.com/r/WSL/comments/1pwxf1d/with_fantasy_surfer_gone_we_built_a_new_fantasy/
The domain is owned in NC, which it the land of the the last winner.
I believe it is run by Cgerk’s skeleton crew….Based in CA
Though “It” could be anyone…accounting for their anonymity…
Same so may the best man win mate haha. Be sick if all the fellas on here joined up ay
The Forums at that place had NO Moderation…
Take that as Good or bad. Although Groundswell would come through with a broom every now and then shaking his head while chanting “What the actual Fuck?”
At least idiots couldn’t delete their pissed mouths the next day.
fuck how much better did he surf on longer boards
As an old fart constantly wincing with old injuries and hoping he can still surf ror a few more years, the idea of introducing a method of effectly deliberately injuring yourself with fighting, seems stupid AF.
So, great… top pro surfer or upcoming. Has a lil’ fighty-fighty w pals and fucks knee etc. No more surfy-surfy for a while. Career maybe fuckety-fuckety also.
Dumb as rocks.
easy there mister, some rocks are smarter than others, ha
Ooops.
Not pointing at you Mr. Geology in yer area.
Wrestling with girls much better
nailed it
Slater v Rielly on the mat.
Then Slater v Smith MMA rules.
We already know Slater can’t take a punch and Chas at least has a chin.
Uhh, Chas took a bitch slap to the cheek, no chin involved. That said, my money is on Chas.
was it a slap?
It sure looked open handed.
Staged?
Yeah, I doubt that. Best part of the whole ordeal is the look on Pyzel’s face.
How does that happen at a public event?
I’ve been in the convention business, sure the surf industry is different, but who throws a telegraphed and photographed slap?
With people walking by. Is Aston that fucking dumb?
I think his emotions acted up. Not uncommon in ‘young’ men
Can we get Negs v Happys ex seal mate on the bill too?
That’s not my first Navy seal black ops threat on Beachgrit.
Hahaha signs of a life well spent brother
You and Negs, tradie on tradie would be fun to watch.
I could see it getting personal in the pressers.
Dude he’s a builder, he’d smoke me and get my soft hands all dirty.
Na it wouldn’t be much of a contest mate, I’d smash the soft, kiwi, poofter cunt in the first ten seconds haha (I am joking)
Tradie on tradie! Sounds hawwwwt.
Xox
Could go anywhere.
To be fair mate you can’t really call plumbers proper tradies. All they do is cut and glue plastic pipe together and then charge like a wounded bull for it
They colour coded wires for the Sparkies and Pipe glues for plumbers. What more does a Chippy need?
They color the heads of nails here. More for inspectors than chippies though.
Nothing mate, just cold beers in the site fridge and I’m all G
I thought his mate was c.i.a.?
This fight card must include a Slater v Zuckerberg(zinc covered face) undercard. We’ll affectionately refer to it as the vertically challenged undercard.
What about Sasha Jane vs Bethany Hamilton?? there’s the obvious disadvantage, but Bethany definitely has some grit.
Knowing that SJ has a couple of major-league prosthetic yabbos, surely Bethnay would be allowed to add a prosthetic arm with robotic enhancements so as to even out their respective fighting tools?
Hahahahaha. I would pay good money to see Sasha v Dez on the mat just to see the smile on his face. Rolling around with that thing it would be like all his Christmas’s had come at once
THIS troubles me immensely!
Beth+the holy ghost versus Sasha+Jane.
rolling around in your pj’s with other sweaty men…no thanks
Eye gouging bumholes!
Xox
Can we just get back to Com screenshotting all of Blowin’s comments, since he has returned to that lame habit?
Agree,the screenshotting is primary school stuff
Definitely outdone by deleting your comment because you have typing Tourette’s.
Thanks for your micro agression
Is that Glen Hall’s paddling strategy?
Some have speculated that BG retained Coms as legal counsel due to their ongoing inflammatory projections. So screenshots are surely necessary in case of evidence production….
Beachgrit couldn’t afford me. But I am not ruling out a pro bono Anti-SLAPP motion if they get sued for defamation—I can still make money that way.
And here I thought Chas was richAF.
How ’bout you stop PRACTICING law, and instead start DOING law.
practicing is the lawyering aspect of law. doing is the getting paid aspect of the law. staying in business is the ability to do both.
(((cracks knuckles)))
Anyone else waiting for Trump to invade and disappear the president of an even bigger country, so we can break 500 comments on that “article?”
Can’t wait to get all the expert military advice from wannabe veterans and those who think they are experts because people they know someone who served in the armed forces.
HEY!! SHUT UP OR I”LL GET MY NAVY SEAL MATE TO CALL YOU AND SET YOU STRAIGHT.
The lol’s from that one still lingering today.
How about Denmark? Greenland is ripe for golf courses and branded hotels.
I’d help colonize either place. Subsidized health care? No MAGAts? Gorgeous women? Then once Trump dies the next Dem pres will give it back and I can get EU citizenship. Win-win.
And climate change will seal that deal!!
He’s made some comments about Cuba, but he wouldn’t want to hurt his relationship with Putin.
Delta Force: “Knock, knock.”
Maduro: “Who’s there?”
Delta Force: “Rugged individualism. Open up.”
Otto: “Knock, knock.”
Maduro: “Who’s there?”
Otto: “It’s cosplay Delta Force.”
Maduro: “Fuck off wannabe!”
And with that, Otto tucked his tail, put his toy gun in his pocket, and went back to watch more YouTube videos about how to convince people you are military veteran.
Fixed it for you.
I can’t believe we black bagged a narco terrorist dictator without considering all available options, like the option you offered: paying an NGO $100B to put on queer musical theater productions in Caracas
You seem to have forgotten to take your lithium pill this morning.
Something tells me Venezuela won’t be paying back Russia for the $6B in air defense systems it recently bought on credit.
Did you learn that in your official debriefing for those that pretend to be veterans?
That’s exactly where I learned it.
Didn’t I see similar comments on X earlier today?
Yes
It’s a highlight reel of the best I read.
Seemed too funny not to share.
And here I thought you might be the X author
Otto with original content and analysis…?
Two original jokes:
Why did the WSL flagship restaurant go out of business?
There were too many kooks in the kitchen.
Sam George, Matt George and Ben Marcus walk in to a bar.
The bartender quits on the spot,. and immediately walks out, it being obvious it was all self serve from there on out.
A man can dream can’t he?
I listened to that Triggernometry podcast you recommended with Raymond Ibrahim. Was pretty shithouse.
But the Venezuelan one was interesting and timely as it all kicked off the day after I listened to it.
I hear ya. Ibrahim brings good knowledge, but the delivery is disjointed, lacking flow. The speed and power are there, just not the flow. Low marks using WSL judging criteria.
Hes just following the lefts lead, no kings, dictators etc, something we can agree on for once
Mamdami
Didn’t take long for Slater to develop profound parenting wisdom and dispense it to the unwashed masses.
Inspiring.
Pinch My Salt poddy claiming he ain’t changing diapers!
Xox
To Slater’s credit he tried to change that diaper but had to skip that event due to a foot injury.
Hahahahahahahaha
and thus Tower 9 Productions was born, promoting the most ridiculous of the ridiculous
Let’s be real, Tower 9 was born because you threatened somebody physically over anonymous comments on an anonymous chat. Then, you actually bragged that you went there to fight John’s Knees but he didn’t show. At least you got the ridiculous part right.
Yeah, you’re right, it was ridiculous he didn’t show, especially after inviting me down there to meet.
Magnolia or Oceanside?
Oceanside
Beverly Hills boi knows every kook spot in so cal. Shocker
idk, Sugar sounds like a bitch.
dubious to take parenting advice from ks.
He should stick to epidemiology.
hahaha
