Smoking fools.
Is there currently a better story in surfing than that of Carissa Moore? The new mother came out of retirement ahead of the 2026 World Surf League Championship Tour season in order to give the singlet life another crack. “I’m really excited for the opportunity to compete again on the Championship Tour,” Moore told the WSL at the time. “To put my jersey back on after having a baby feels like such a win. Competing at the highest level of surfing is something I don’t take for granted, and I’m so grateful to be feeling healthy and reinvigorated. I want my journey to show my daughter, and hopefully other women, that we can do anything; we can keep chasing our dreams, even as life evolves. I’m looking forward to sharing this next chapter with her and experiencing it together as a family.”
There was much curiosity around how the 33-year-old would stack up against the brash young crew that has burst onto the scene over the past few years. The Cailtlin Simmers and Molly Picklums and Gabriela Bryans et. al.
There was even, it must be said, some light snickering amongst that crew. The Bettylou Sakura Johnsons saying that Moore, and the rest of the old guard, would get “smoked” by the new schoolers.
Well, Moore stumbled out of the gate, at Bells, with a ninth, found some form at Margaret River with a fifth, stumbled again on the Gold Coast, again rolling ninth, before exploding to an inspirational win at the New Zealand Pro.
The tour is now in El Salvador, of course, with Moore showing that she might have what it takes to beat them all after mowing down Brissa Hennessy in round 2 uncorking a full rotation air while so doing.
She will face current world number one Luna Silva in the quarters and vault herself to number one, I think, with a victory. She is currently fourth.
But did you see this coming a place a prediction market bet?
Will you share if you win?

Riss’s buzzard beater Air Revobwas Inspiring. Ohhh.
Pretty sure they are under water and about to get blown off the rocks.
I called Riss for the Title this year but that air today wasn’t a make.
That’s a big call. I don’t make predictions because I’m much to dumb to do so accurately, but if anyone can get past Gabby Bryan, the way that she’s been surfing, then they fully deserve the title. Gabby’s an animal this year.
Stoked to see Riss, and Steph and Lakey, battling so hard.
Oh god to be deaf and hooked up with Carrisa More…heaven
Deafness obligatory
Ohhhh a hash nooooooodellll.
Xox
Right lots been said, Negs has had his say on what happened so I am going to calmly and quickly explain it from my side in the hope we can just draw a line in the sand and get back to laughing and talking about surfing. Read it, ignore, disagree with it, whatever ya want to do but hopefully its the end of it.
Since I was banned again a month ago I have read on here with no voice to reply how I am mentally ill, retarded, a moron, bad for this joint, a sleaze, a sex pest, how I hate America, Europe, Victorians and countless other shit, whatever. There have also been countless people calling for my return and Negs ever-changing reason for my ban left me scratching my head. First it was the wank talk, which I found Hilarios with all the bum hole fingering chat on here, then again it was for the good of the group, then it was for my own good and then now he has stated it was cuz I was “sleazing” on the last female on here. This is insane in my opinion cuz I can tell and show yous why.
So I have always got on well with sofa surfer, we shared laughs and comments in the live chats, so the first thing I did when released was find her latest comment and say to her sorry mate this is what I said, I thought you would find it funny if you saw it but I’m so sorry if I caused you any offence. She replied no dramas and absolutely zero hard feelings. Then in todays live chat she makes a really funny joke about me, heaps of people laughed and I thought it was a perfect way to draw a line through it. Negs though wasn’t happy and kept trying to bait her into a negative response. My question to all of yous is how can I be banned for life for “sleazing” on a female on here when she is someone I get on well with and she is not offended in the slightest and bears no ill will? Makes zero sense surely? It is all still up in the last few live chats if yous really want to see it so get go check out it out and me and Negs exchanging our opinions openly if yous want confirmation I am telling the truth.
Since I have been back on here I have stuck to the live chat talking shit with my mates on there and haven’t even brought up my ban. I thought this was a good way to put some distance between me and Negs so we could both enjoy this joint, but he obviously felt differently. I know a lot of yous like Negs and I felt bad when I read the news this morning and emailed Dez to say sorry for any drams caused. In saying that I still feel all this could have been avoided if he had just treated me the same as everyone else. Anyone with a clear and unbiased brain can see I am far from the most offensive cunt on here but have been banned 3 times in 9 months for doing not a lot wrong. Now he has blocked me so hopefully we can keep rolling along smoothly.
Anyways like I said make of that what yous want but surely is time to just draw a line through it and get back to good times, surfing and talking shit?
This place is chockas full of cunts. I love the vitriol.
Maybe Negs just took off his badge to come in and fuck your shit up.
I am joking. You both need to hang out and have a beer.
It sucks that we all just can’t get along.
Well you were sort of right about the Victorians.
Hahahaahahaha. I think it’s really important to explain, like I did in the live chat that our humour down here is completely different to the seppos and we live to write off our mates. Like I said if I could get wave of the day at all time Kirra or watch a good mate fuck it up Im going the fuck up every time hahahaha. Its just the way we are and it keeps every cunt grounded cuz we hate fuckwits who are up their own arses no matter how good at something they are.
I don’t hate seppos and have have two really good mates from SD who I travelled heaps with. Also have two really good Hawaiian mates who Ive had fucking sick times with. Its just banter ya boring cunts hahaha
Hey !!
Gotcha!
Jks
Just get on with it –
Be careful what you say to any women, things can get offensive quite quickly these politically correct days.
Men should swallow a spoonful of concrete and harden up, FFS.
Thank you John Seaton Callahan the First and that is what I intend to do. Just surfing and talking shit from now on cuz to be honest I am sooooo fucking over hearing about me and Negs. Put simply we are two very different people who don’t get along. He has now blocked me, Ive explained what happened so hopefully we can all just get back to laughing and ,talking about more interesting things
Hahaha
I can see that you’re talking to that idiot JSC who must’ve blocked me
This is what it’s gonna be like for you and Negs, seeing half a conversation all over the place hahaha
Hahaha brother all I said was I am completely over talking about the whole me and Negs thing and just want to get back to laughing and talking about surfing. Whole things just been done to death now ay like I said above
Fuck that, this horse is far from dead and even once it is it will still be beaten.
Then logging out to see what it says, then crying and throwing insults indirectly….
So you reeeeally think Sofa is a ‘she’ ?
How can ya tell on here ?
Might be one of Sasha, Gwen, or Pauly Fat Whore’s mates…😬

Zionism is a death cult
Yes, clearly yet another two single space pages of self-obsessed child-like “it’s not fair mama” recrimination nonsense is all about manning up, drawing a line through it and moving on.
Two sides to every story, we have all heard the other one too many times so theres mine and like I said think what yous want but I’m over the whole thing
Please excuse BLJW, she has been suffering a severe case of the Dunning Kruger effect.
That and you told us what time you had lunch, to make it really clear to us all what time zone you’re in. Thanks for clearing that up, we were all wondering.
And he greeted us with that stereotypical Norh Hemi opening ,…….”Gday”
And asked who was having nose beers at El Sal. The most Gold Coast term in the world.
Newbie commentators that jump straight into the chats like longtime regulars is the classic giveaway. Even where the upvotes are directed. To have a successful trolling account you gotta be very smart. The mod tools are pretty smart too, just having a VPN and using different devices isn’t enough. Once upon a time I had one on a long dead Forum. “Dave the Drummer” I used him successfully for about two weeks before I realized I was effectively arguing with myself and it was shit ton of work. No thanks.
But when others do, I really enjoy watching the antics and the talking in circles.
Mate this getting tiresome mate, why the fuck why and how would I have another account on here when the ex mod blocked any attempts I made at creating another one in my ban? He used to claim I was Crayfish and could clear this up in 30 seconds but is just rolling with it. Surely you know me better than that by now?
Other people think you are. Can you provide proof?
Never would have predicted Negs stepping down. Would have made a lot of money, but we’re all cheaper for it. RIP Beachgrit for the past 12 years. Stale toast above, stale toast below, my own offerings lately included.
Negs your last act as Mod should have been emailing all the old crew over the years and inviting them back. Hard to keep the lights on with the same 2 above and 20 of us below…actually your last act should have been banning all of us. Missed your shot at that.
Appreciate the effort you put into keeping this place moving along, with some type of structure and humanity, over the years. Enjoy your beers at Tower 9.
I have been present since Shearer and was previously know amongst a few as the truth , the BG overt promotion of Rip Curl and the political and religious commentary that has been permitted to roll across BG without any moderation. This has been the fundamental cause of discontent , SC is simply a result of this discontent.
Alan Shearer scored 260 goals in his career and is the all time leading goalscorer in the English Premier League – as he retired in 2006, you have been around for awhile!
What a fucken wanker. Got nothing to say other than AI drivel.
Edit: Lmao Who zapped Johnny Shit Cunt’s post ? Hahahahar
Maybe he committed seppuku on himself ?
Take it you haven’t listened to his AI podcast then?
Do you want me to post the links to the podcasts?
They are quite informative and the “Deep Dive” conversational format is particularly engaging,
Usually goes to spam box and I had to approve them. Can’t now!
This is too funny!
Joanie the AI posting Queen getting rear ended by the Discus algo… hahahahar Now that’s karma in action, Negs! Poetic justice, if you will …. Somewhere a mod resigns, an algo responds and the internet benefits …
Cheers
Mate, the less I hear from that idiot the better, so no AI podcast.
No podcasts from anybody.
No Frank !! Oops my bad i meant Peter as in Bowes
Wait, someone should be moderating the owners of BeachGrit and the output on their own website?!?
If you’d been around a bit longer, you might live up to your previous moniker “The Truth” and know the deep love Rip Curl have for Charlie and Derek lol.
I believe the true narrative is more about the WSL’s proactive promotion of this women’s momentum, potentially aiming to establish a generational narrative that is not yet fully realized. It mirrors the promotion of Mickey Wright and Mike February, which seems to lack the necessary substance to support the narrative. I find it rather transparent and possibly disrespectful towards the intended audience.
WOMEN BOO!! INTENDED (MALE) AUDIENCE YAYYYY!!
Are you Strayan Cunt? You are Cuntstable
Why the fuck can we not just have FUN MOANING
No offence Negs, but you MOANED about MOANING…. Glad you are back
They are both good people with differing opinions.
I like them both, and hope they slag off each other into the future…
It is fuckn surfing for fucks sake
Strayan Cunt is a total cunt.
And now it seems he, and also Negatron can say whatever the fuck they want
Crazy day hey? I know I have no respect here, nor should I deserve it.
We have all watched this feud in this lineup from the shore, since the first drop in…
Drama. Drama Drama….
Full respect to Negatron, Stray Cunt is a total cunt.
I don’t think it was the right decision at all (to ban him forever [edited]). Just let the cunt out every now and then at least.
Anyway Negatron stood his ground an I respect that.
Like in Transformers (No not Sasha)
“Once freed, Negatron returns to his followers on Beachgrit with a terrifying new level of power. The ability to say whatever he wants”
Don’t let us down Negs
We all know you where trying to do the correct thing…
That was a Transformers reference.. About Megatron.. in case anyone got it
Sasha got it
I reckon Negs is gonna be a nasty man after well over a decade behind the gates.
Do it
You got my respect, even though given the opportunity I would probably thaw you out, bread you up and deep fry you.
Breaded Crayfish highly underrated…
I don’t come cheap, even though you can just get me from the shore with a snorkel.
I missed the infamous post(s) that got him banned. It must have been way out of line to deserve a ban.
Put it this way, he’s way less aggravating than valiant scorn and way less insane than Ben Marcus. I got no problem with him.
I think Negatron has just put himself where he can really say what he wants, with no repercussions…
Like Obi Wan Kenobi.
More powerful in the afterlife
May the Farce be with ya.
Cant say many, if any have been banned from saying something so outrageous. It’s more likely just filling threads with dull and boring auto repeat comments. That or being excessively cruel multiple times.
Hahhaha, speaking of paulas ‘s, valiant, ‘fake news’, angels, your a busy lil’…
I would ask you to interpret, but maybe I don’t need to know….
Carissa riding Mick Fanning Larges…. best fins made
don’t you have a local fin maker/foiler?
It is an epic story. In an era when taking anything seriously…
Well, ya know, I mean fucking Paula White-Cain, Senior Advisor to the White House Faith Office, and donald are running and blowing up the planet, with the help of angels from.. even… Meanwhile brillyunt mindz are explaining the in depth inevitability of that, including why pawleen and co need to blow shit up too, soze ozzies cun, ya know, do tru shite…
Women children and men are being slaughtered all around the globe, seen as fossil fuel for, ‘in depth, intellagunt, neccuserry, highly advanced cannon fodder, soze the biggest, most beautiful ever humans ever, being humans ever…’
And you would’ve thought the bronzed ockers running around in those flared, onesie, jump suit thingies would have been the end of the shite, right there and then. Surely… but no, it was only the fuck’n beginning… Some flog(s) who couldn’t and can’t surf to save their lives bought the whole ludicrous show, flared onesies and all, and are flogging the living guts out of ‘surfing’… tru… ya know… agin’… and have turned the whole shemozzle into an organic, realtor on roids sales campaign, reaming colon… inzparashunal semenar of…
So yes, it actually is epic and deluxe, that Carissa Moore, whose voice the WSL tried to completely eliminate, when she told truths about Hawaii, is powering. Especially in ‘Reconciliation week’, (aka, by ockers the world over, as ‘the sound of silence’), ya know, ozzy tru blue going, ‘All In, that is, serving as a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation, truth-telling, and advancing the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.’
Next planet and mob on the fossil hit list, seeing how this place is done and dusted… useless Martians, and Mars, no doubt a perfect site for a gazza sponnoed wavepool event, grab ya blox now… mmmmaaayyytttee… before the farkin’ immagagrunts…
Meanwhile longy is lying prostrate across the highway to the ox, trying to desperately free the place, and stop the onslaught of, ‘cashed up, greedy, stinkin’, thievin’ immagagrunts motorin’ up frum the gazza…’
Hey Tim ! You might need to get back on the piss for a night and show this dude how it’s done
Please done encourage him. I understood two or three of his most recent messages and I prefer it that way.
Also, Kwan must be a total trip. He ain’t wrong about the greedy psychopaths, though.
He’s ” true blue basher ” from swellnut. Interesting character
I meant Tim. He starting to make a bit of sense all of a sudden.
Sobriety not doing him any favors…
Well now that makes sense.
Thanks for point that out.

NEGATRON HUNG OUT TO DRY !
I think the story is why Negs would bother doing it for no compensation?
Amazing that we all didn’t get banned
They are both cool. This is a place to speak.
You don’t get anywhere by being NICE, being NICE gets you NOWHERE.
Just be a cunt instead
Bumper sticker material
I reckon both are cool as fuck. They can both surf too…
It would be cheap as fuck to hook these two up for a surf off, think outside the square. Shit Talk Surf Blog Format…..
Make a reunion happen Beachgrit.
Next week on Home and Away
