"When you remove the noise and focus on a shared lifestyle, better outcomes follow."
Southern California singles who enjoy long walks, bottomless mimosa brunches and Levi Slawson’s Huntington Hop are rejoicing, this morning, after the World Surf League unveiled its newest official parter: SURF a “dating app redefining modern dating, offering users community and interest based match potential.”
Huzzah!
Nicole Metzger, WSL Chief Revenue Officer, took to the rooftops to share, “We’re excited to partner with SURF as our first-ever official dating app of the Lexus US Open. We love how SURF focuses on shared passions and real-world connections. As the Lexus US Open of Surfing brings together such a uniquely connected community, we’re excited to have SURF help facilitate these new connections for fans during one of our biggest events of the year.”
Rob Long, CEO of SURF Dating added, “SURF is built to help people find someone who actually shares their lifestyle, not just their interests on paper. With the World Surf League, we’re applying a model we already know works-giving a highly aligned community the ability to find each other quickly, without the friction of traditional dating apps. When you remove the noise and focus on a shared lifestyle, better outcomes follow.”
Young lads and lasses will not longer have to advertise their availability, there on the sands of Huntington Beach, by writing messages on their backs in Sharpie.
Single surf fans around the rest of the world are desperately hoping that the partnership is a success and SURF can also be rolled out on the Gold Coast, in El Salvador, Rio etc. Dreams flitting of romantic dinners and discussions of Italo Ferreira’s cheez-whiz airs versus Morgan Cibilic’s house building.
The only ones upset by the perfect union betwixt the WSL and SURF are BeachGrit proprietors Derek Rielly and Chas Smith who are very concerned their pirate WSL dating app, Live Chat, might get cannibalized.
Fingers crossed.

Can hookers ply their wares on SURF?
Really the WSL should pop up a couple tents in the parking lot of each tour stop, let the lot lizards serve up hand jobs while the WSL takes their 10%. Dirk will finally turn a profit.
Hookers gotta pay bills and buy Christmas presents just like the rest of us.
for women only I might take a look. but then again some faces and physiques may cause lasting mental damage~
but since I still can’t figure out how to watch finals days, probably wouldn’t find the app timo-friendly.
This comment section is chock full of wife guys

Speaking of Leonardo…anybody notice the short tense exchange Cole had with him in water post heat?
I Prefer KOOK. Like minded fuckwits who have no idea…………………
It’s going to be hard to break this to all the Russian bots I’ve met here.
I dated one girl who surfed before we met. I never really liked surfing with her because I always had to surf somewhere that I didn’t really want to surf. The rest of my serious relationships were with non surfers.
My parents made me responsible for training the dog we got when I was like 12 or 13. I pretty quickly learned that the same principals also work on humans. So early in any relationship whenever you surf make sure you return in an outwardly good mood no matter how you actually feel. Maybe be more helpful for the few hours afterwards as well, do that one thing she asked you to do earlier in the week or be quick to help if they ask for something new.
After like 2-3 months or so of this your gf or bf will subconsciously feel good when you tell them you are going surfing. They won’t complain that all of the vacations you have any input on planning are near surf spots. They might not even notice. And the work to maintain this is a lot easier than the work to set this up.
proactive, nice

Wish i read this 20 years ago.
wise words
I used to take a similar approach, but then they would often insist I go surfing when there was no surf and get all angry and eye-rolly. Attempts to explain about the weather systems that generate waves only made things worse. Still a problem, really. Any help would be much appreciated. Yours in confidence, Flatlately.
you do not have a problem.
You sir are a genius
Jordy with a new clip from Reunion
https://youtu.be/-8pBbP-7m54?si=G33IoT9zzVqyM7TS
Another place that should probably still be on tour.
I’m sure that the woz photographers are just amped to get out there in Reunion.
Didn’t the shark problem settle down there?
So he just releases these clips to remind us of what he chooses not to do in contests?
Probably difficult for him when the waves are only up to his waist but overhead for the munchkins.
he seriously needs such a big wave
How big is that one at 2:30
I thought Reunion was was fucked with sharks?
Went to the store last night….. parked next to an SUV with 4 young girls riding. Surfers, whatever that now means. Softops stacked above, camping gear everywhere the girls did not sit. Packed to the gills.
My boards ride shotgun, low key unless you’re standing above them and I was surprised that the girls were still loading groceries as they peered into my car.
“You guys on a surf trip?” I surprised them too.
“YES!!!”
“Are you a local?”
” No, I moved here in ’04” You could see them doing the math in their heads, likely pre dating any of their births. First instinct was to be snarky, but I remember my first surf trip without the parents and one of them was cute…. ok hot. Slutty hot.
“Are there any secret spots in town if Rincon gets too crowded?”
With the amount of women filling the surfing entry level, if you need an App to score these bunnies, you’re pretty much lost anyway. They were from Hemet, staying in the camp ground near pits. You won’t miss them, have a swing
If only Mrs Madeoff wasn’t such a solid surf companion….
The surf girl was a dream…. fantasy, but no girls surfed in my day. They sun bathed and wanted to go on trips until they realized how a trip unfolds.
Now, the friends that did hook up with surf girls have to surf mushy bays on Saturdays because their girl can’t paddle through a lineup or keep position with any current. Friends begin riding bigger boards to deal with the Slo Elijo and Mondo’s and C street coves, Refugio, Latigo, etc. They begin traveling to Punta Mita and Santa Theresa.
Be careful what you wish for
I’m only 35 yrs into indentured servitude with Mrs Madeoff so longboard days are typical.
I’m on year 26.
Had a GF who surfed (Kinda) for a few years. Sucked. Picked a wife (Or she picked me) who doesn’t mind reading, chilling, traveling to surf, taking the odd photos or videos. Happy when I am surfing, worried when I am not, and never makes me feel guilty for going for a wave. Hard worker too. Lucky.
You, my friend, are blessed among the cold huddled masses of BeachGrit.
Perfect
Yesterday arvo local point was DOH, roping – Indo glass.
Rare long period and perfect direction.
As good as waves get basically.
First thing I saw paddling out- gal, local, young babe- packing a full freight train cone.
Times have changed here Hip- the gals will shred and pull in.
My wife surfs, loves it small and clean. I enjoy the babyfood with her and when it’s pumping she is happy doing other things.
She knows what surf stoke feels like.
Couldn’t imagine being with someone who has no idea.
Shopping, sunbathing, yoga and food- blech.
This exists, it’s a real thing for some of us.
wasn’t that long ago we wouldn’t let the girls in the water.
Live Chat ain’t never going away.
It’s the closest thing to a surf swingers circle jerk dating club you are going to find on the internet.
Luana and I met here.
I think anyone who needs to filter for their life partner through their surfing “lifestyle” because the app gives them the option is immediately suspect.
Haven’t met many surfer girls that seem worth the trouble.
Most surfer girls evolve due to the patients of surfer boys like Chas who help them grow into the sport of kings
Starting to understand why Chas hates surfing.
Yea – this is wooz scraping the bottom of the barrel. Fucken hell….
A rock bottom dumpster dive.
“Aggressive power top seeks pink capri wearing submissive for trade show slap and tickle”
deep cut
Maybe the SURF Dating app can help DR find a trans girlfriend who surfs (sorry, Sasha).
Nice! Here’s my profile, for feedback before I go live with it:
Over aged, out of shape surfer who is in denial about volume size, surfboard baggies size, and has a predilection for bad sheep jokes and pointless comments on the ultra soft surf candy site BeachGrit, and is sponsored by Hurlurley, seeks Jen See.
You know she loves us
You forgot erectile dysfunction
Implied in the denial about volume size.
Leo can afford a real ring
beat me to it , ha
Looks like an aussie ring, all talk no gold no rock
Like a Californian surfing life, all talk, no gold, no point.
I am going to start crying like that kid who thinks the parents getting divorced is his fault
Just jokes. I have a fundamental appreciation of Hippy’s vibe.
We are just going through an antagonistic stage whilst he ovulates.
Hahaha same here and im here for it mate
Pretty fun isn’t it?
Have a good day boys.
Hey, Hip. I see that BREW was a Pearl Jam fan. You’re right that he did have good taste. Thanks for the recco. Much entertainment, attempting to follow how his mind worked.

don’t hurt yourself trying to figure him out. He is a Hollywood screen writer who types horror movies. 2010 is a long time ago
Got it. Thanks.
Also, I never liked horror movies, and it’s the big genre nowadays.
There is also a thing called an engagement ring (different than a wedding ring). And lets not forget that gold comes in many colors and not everyone likes the Trumpian gold.
i know you don’t delete comments, but you should one time
Thanks for the explanations though,
Did I offend you? Or you still mad about the don’t trust a Hippy joke?
I was offended because your joke was not funny. You’re usually creative.
What do you think is the first thing I look for when meeting a new client?
If their shoes are on the right feet…? Brown under their fingernail from Dogsnuts’ bum…? If they have a JSC “book” in their car…?
It wasn’t intended for comedy, just reality.
I’m guessing you look for signs of wealth and a wedding ring but no idea what you do for work exaclty?
Missing Fins hit on it….
Look at their shoes, their belt and their cars, then look at the ring
I was close. So you skip the check for Dognuts bumhole sauce under the fingernails?
few people share that fetish Barrelled
glad you found a compadre
Ring/diamond was in the family for a few generations? Maybe 1+ carats is tacky to European sensibilities?
