"We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack."
Drones have been a light annoyance for California surfers stretching back nearly a decade, now. The whiny whir, like an amphetamine mosquito, right overhead when pro or influencer is in the lineup, nabbing a few clips. Well, that small frustration might soon turn into blood and destruction, if Iran has its way.
According to just-released reports, the FBI has been warning California police departments about the potential for retaliation against the Golden State after U.S. President Donald J. Trump listened to the Big Mac digesting in his gut that whispered “attack Iran.”
And/or his bro Bibi who has been promising Iran is minutes away from obtaining nuclear weapons for the past 40 years.
A fine track record.
Attack Trump did, either way, his Sec. of WAR Party Pete Hegseth out front, daily, declaring more, more, MORE death from above all while being really, really, ridiculously good-looking.
Reports today, rivaling news of the war, declaring Hegseth removed photographers from briefings for taking “unflattering photos of him.”
As if that’s even a possibility.
Well, in any case and per the FBI memo:
We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran. We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.
What do you think might be the biggest target?
The odds have to favor Huntington Beach’s central library, no?
Or maybe site of ’28 LA Olympic surfing Lower Trestles.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Imagine being Otto and watching Hegseth and thinking: here’s a guy I support.
cant fathom…
Love paying 6 bucks a gallon for gas. Fuckin murica let’s go!
And here I thought the key was to find a girl who loves blowin
They have lots of radar etc. off the west coast that would pick this up very early. Or just regular people on boats who can radio coast guard. Just seems like a dumb way to attack US soil.
another red herring…as if?
To attack the USA…sleeper cells , hopefully there’s none?
Any attack on US soil has the potential to turn a very unpopular war into a very popular one, which is why Hegseth is hyping this “threat” based on information before the current war.
But this story as told with drones launched from boats is complete bs.
think for a moment…..get everybody in the USA worried about an Iranian strike…..you can see how much trump and his cohorts , would love some local terrorism….especially if they can pin it on Iran…..then martial law/suspend the mid terms….??
USA/Israel have conceded today that they won’t topple the current regime , so by surviving , Iran has won and today they announced revenge….FFS…..what a waste of time /energy/lives /money…so now all of us will pay……the anti-trump global fan club just gets stronger as he makes the USA soo weak now!
why am I paying in Torquay $2.18 per liter, last week was $1.68….petrol stations here sold out yesterday…..interest rates about to go up…transport costs up…inflation up…..it’s not the USA , but it’s current administration……….major domestic economic problems/epstein/ elections…….so yeah smoke and mirrors we all pay for , so as the day of reckoning approaches……smoke and lines on the mirror of…??
hey they don’t hate American freedom…..just the missiles and bombs
ah petey…photo’s are disparaging of the grate God of war…..???
Just for the record imagine someone saying this about you ,
““You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth…”
“…I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego.”
“…your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.”
ah that’s Petey’s Mom ….nice son or mother,LOL….
Shoot Down all drones USA. USA. USA!!!
Smart move breaking all the schools up into individual homes, no concentrated targets.
Can we forward them coordinates for the Morro Rock parking lot?
What’s the issue with MB ? Crowds are a bit heavy these days ?
Yep, and wall to wall longboard hipsters without leashes. The elders on logs are fine, but all these fools who think it’s 1966 suck.
Sounds like a horror show. MB is one of the few places I’ve surfed when cruising through California and it was such a pleasant experience. Decent enough waves and a manageable crowd. Probably was vacation hours, though.
Well, it would only take one Iranian hardliner mullah Beach Grit reader to realize Tower 9 is a place of importance, belligerently begging the conclusion that imperialist USA must be hiding our discombobulator weapon lab there, yes, there for sure, and visit unto Tower 9 a fate of vindictive surf adjacent violence that ultimately gets Larry to change the name of his joint to Larry’s Beach Grit Club
More surf news shortly… Whats Monty up to?
Hopefully getting raped by a Kangaroo.
Man, juvenile whites lurking below while drones lurk from above. How will we cope?
Rumor has it the Iranians are working on a drone that looks like a shark to attack Australia. They know it will work, gov turns a blind eye.
That draconian government does what it can to limit population, limit speech and limit the number of Australian Opens Djokovic wins.
Protest! Oh… wait…
With tasty bud and tasty waves. One of them is in abundance!
sounds bout right
Love the name
Recently Happy Camper allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using anonymous comment vehicles from an unidentified location far off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that Com Turren conducted strikes against Happy Camper. We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack, although there was mention of Tower 9 in the allegedly possible recently acquired alleged aspirations of the alleged perpetrators….sources say.
You should never admit a felony in advance of the crime.
Mrs Madeoff said something similar to me late in the evening of our first date
Was she fourteen years old.
She looked 14 but was actually 22.
don’t let her get near Griffin
Griffin probably wouldn’t be into her as she has a son who is a year younger than him nor did she play lacrosse in HS. Maybe we’ll run into him at San O in the near future or lurking in the ice cream shops and bars in San Clemente so the theory can be tested
Nothing like robbing a bank on a first date to test how a woman handles stress.
You find out real quick what she’ll think about you leaving on a surf trip to steal a week’s worth of waves
Trust me the fights over me leaving to go surfing have occurred. Imagine if you can, Mrs Madeoff is scheduled to go back east for a girls weekend with her college buddies. So I plan a long surf weekend and she is pissed that I’m going without her. Yes Otto that happened two summers ago. They will always own you….
Try telling her you have return date scheduled, but you’ll check in periodically
I like that idea
that’s what you get for marrying a babe that surfs.
The funny thing is she didn’t surf or mtn bike when I met her. Nor did she ski worth a shit and 3 decades later she remains all in on these sports.
Good call not attempting to turn the tables and throw some weird fit about not being included in the girls weekend with her college buddies. You might have found yourself standing alone in a room soaked in estrogen asking the whole girl crew if “they were as excited as you to see the Thunder From Down Under show” that night.
They’re a great bunch of east coast girls but they need time away from their spouses….
I remain mesmerized by your 6 badges.
He’s certainly be been there, done that and knows that guy. *that guys 2nd cousins brother.
My badge envy is debilitating
Badges Brahnonymous. Perhaps you’ll find help there
Sort of like AA, except BB is less fix debilitating, more debilitating fix.
12 Steps? No. 12 Stumbles? Some would say.
But, I’m not going to lie. It’s gonna get weird.
Rumor has it that D&D infiltrated BB. But truth be told, no one who’s attended BB meetings have survived Stumble 2: Two Dragons
at least you’ll satisfy that debilitating fix.
https://youtu.be/oSXx6MIpB4M?si=Oad8BtcJitp7vMIN
Never forget the words of my mentor Hunter S. Thompson “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” As for BB, if it is like AA I’m not sure it can help me as I have 4 decades of experience as an atheist but I’m here to learn.
I keep them shiny.
Does Negs provide a special rag to keep them shiny?
It comes with the set.
Does the rag have Neg’s plumbing Co contact info on it? I have a friend, with kids, who is moving down to Christchurch next week as they fear Trump so I need his contact info.
He can search me up on FB, Matt McCrory. I’ll give him the no set wave badge and take him surfing if he heads up here.
Thx! He’s not a surfer yet, but I suspect he’ll become one as will his kids.
Cool either way if he looking for chat or a catch up. Sing out.
I texted him your info. they fly down in 11 days
Big move! They brought a house yet?
Not yet, they’re renting but I suspect they’ll end up staying permanently so a house purchase will be likely in 12-18 months.
I grew up in Christchurch, wasn’t a big fan was very white and bland. But it’s really starting to happen. I’ve been really impressed over the last two years. Post Earthquake momentum hasn’t stopped. My daughter plays/puts on gigs and she can’t believe all the new faces at everything they do. Shits popping and still a ton of opportunity, space and vacant blocks to set up something new. Fast becoming the most liveable city in Australasia.
Sounds impressive if it doesn’t become overrun with non-NZers
awwwww, you’re doing me dirty by suggesting that I’d drone attack you though.
We’d settle any differences on that scale like gentlemen—rapiers at dawn. Tower 9 (obviously). First blood, lethal or otherwise wins.
nothing personal. I just settled on your name because you’re always going on about how big and tall you are.
btw~ fuck da rapers. machete’s at like, maybe 11:30.
fuck dis dawn shit, you guys are 3 hours ahead of us. so your 6:30 is my 3:30.
I love a machete too though! If we ever have to do that, let’s push the time to High Noon (Otto’s favorite time) and just go with machetes, though mine is gonna have a crossguard (don’t want you sniping at my fingers).
BeachGrit HQ has to be high on the list (Is there a BG HQ?). Plenty of Islamic blasphemy on here to draw the ire of Iran.
Don’t forget the surf adjacent pro-Israel articles that hit daily on BG. Speaking of which, when will Chas offer up an Israel tour combining surfing and religious artifact sightseeing adventure?
Those are there to get the
anti-semites riled up.
BG an equal opportunity antagonist.
So true! Whatever it takes to generate clicks!
“I hate BG”
That is why we are here daily?
If Chas can hate surfing yet still surf, then we can hate BG yet still comment.
We all hate surfing https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Not the Smith kitchen island! With all the work that went into that mitred waterfall edge.
We all gotta turn that ire into irie mon.
