How was the crab Hip?
Always liked the soft shell crab you can get in the San Fran marina area.
It only works if it’s a credentialed forum. Even then depends on the tone and conversation the site owners want. From what I’ve seen it ends up 4chan gonna rape your mumma chat.
Everyone shit scared of being cut from the teat. Only the Blakeys approach authenticity. It’s maddening. Even Richie Lovett comes across as a salesman at times.
Hippy’s down in Montecito sharing a sunset view over the yacht harbor with prince Harry while he decides whether to get scallops or sea bass for dinner.
Going nuclear? We are just exchanging views. We never got on and I disagreed with the way he dealt with me completely differently to everyone else but I am still sad to see him step down.
Just for the record I think he was right to give me a timeout when I fucked my hoof cuz I am easily bored and was being a cunt, I just think it went on too long.
There are fucking far more offensive cunts than me on here and I haven’t seen anyone else sent to the hole and I have been there 3 times in 9 months!! I am not getting into a war of words and just want to laugh and talk surfing
What, who’s slinking away? I indulge in banter with cunts but it is mainly just me fucking around like I do with mates here. I also cop some shit but just give it back, thats life
Any thoughts on why the surfers are not seeming to be able to work this wave out , it looks pretty surfable to me but im obviously not at pro level when it comes to high performsnce.
What level of absolute twat gets kicked off an online forum repeatedly by a relatively reasonable moderator, and then goes and whinges and cries like a little fucking bitch to the owners of the website until it ends up the moderator is no longer in that job?
Absolutely fucking pathetic. Outside of any judgment of the content of the posts in question (about which I dgaf one way or the other) what an absolute fucking zero you must be in real life that this is the track you took.
Just man the fuck up, say fuck it, and go do something else. What a total fucking full stop loser. I couldn’t imagine what it would feel like to live life without dignity.
Hahahaahahaha only just seen this and really enjoyed it. Thing is you know nothing about what happened behind the scenes and are just taking the ex mods version of events as gospel. Do you really think if I was sending Dez non stop crying emails to Dez he would not just tell me to fuck off and stop pestering him and I was a complete cunt who was banned for life? Not going to reveal private convos but just remember it was the owner of this site who got me back on despite the moderator saying he would leave if he did. Love the fire and passion though, good to see
The B G Mods Care Stayan. About the thickness of paint applied Gudna. Anyway. Is🐑or Is🦙..🤷🏼♂️🕵️

Thought today was supposed to be a lay day because of the hurricane?
Derek’s been getting crytime emails by the dozen from old mate and asked if I’d let him back in. My response as I can’t be bothered explaining really.
Letting the moaners and retards steer the ship ain’t going to be pretty, so think I’m ready to be toogled off mod duties.
Feel the commentary is slipping into its death throes anyway. Combination of many things, which you are probably even more aware of than me. Barnacle has been linking a few old stories and man, there was some golden threads with some heavyweights chiming in. Moaning still! but more considered takes, less throwing shit against a wall to see if it sticks. Maybe I’m just bored of it, maybe I’m just over dealing with the tears and tantrums of grown men. I retired from judging to move away from that, yet here I am.
For the record SC’s last ban was for sleazing on the only female commentator we have left. He was just “joking” as usual, just that he’s less Straylan Cunt and more Stupid Cunt so cant walk that tightrope. Gal cant even order a drink at the bar without that guy at the end saying something.
Don’t take it as a me or him situation, your ball your court xx
Given your head, how would you remake the site? What would you do differently, encourage and excise ? How to save the sinking ship of the forum? Do you think the rot starts at the top or the bottom? Are you optimistic?
Needs more original voices above the line. Where’s the young creative types who want to be writers?? Working at STAB on video pieces? Or just busy having fun and surfing. They don’t want to write for 50 year old men who just moan!
Watching the heat back and they were interviewing Tyler with Caity in a window in the corner when she hit the lip. How unfortunate.
At least Tyler is turning into an Aussie icon this year. Really representing for the east coast.

Well boys and ladies I fied two bullets in a $150 buy in NLH tournament busted early then dropped another $150 at blackjack I should’ve have just stayed home and watched the crappy surf contest and crack jokes with yall
This whole place is a charity at this point. I looked at the web traffic and it went down from one and a half million to two hundred thousand recently, probably because of Surfer mag resurgance.
Derek and Chas are doing it to keep the last remaining surf community alive.
I have massive respect for both of them. They spit out content just to keep it all alive. Lucky for me, I love shark stories and coastal real estate.
People have been giving them shit for years now, when they’re just doing it for the community at this rate. I’d actually pay $3.50 if we could get Wiggs and James Bickerton back. Wiggs was clearly a nutter, and Bicko had some of the most interesting comments.
Shout out to BG for that time they donated $6,000 to help keep the EOS alive.
How are you able to see web traffic for a third party site ?
Apparently they also get less random blowins from the high seas, because of some algorithm change. Because I was going to start dating Eiza Gonsalves or Adria Arjona and give the exclusive to BG. But now that won’t help drive traffic anymore. Tis a shame.
I’ve been looking at a site called similair web and you can compare BG with other surf sites. you can also see a graph of performance over the last few years.
No would be the answer. But I was getting the Disqus ad revenue at the start, which I turned down to almost non existent to avoid the comments looking like they do now. That still amounted to afew thousand over time. Boys have flung me some gear over the years including a dream board. Derek did try and pay me a weekly wage when things were peaking. But I couldn’t be bothered invoicing him. Didn’t really want to be staff either, there was freedom with the separation of church and state which I thought was more important.
I think sc’s “chaotic neutral” take on everything managed to stop the asinine flame wars between valiant scorn and everyone else. Or maybe it’s just correlation and not causation.
Not sure about that. My guess is that he wasn’t pumped about the reinstatement, one word led to another, and a mutual parting of ways commenced. He could have just stayed on and deleted comments at will, but I think there is alot of fatigue. Either way I hope to see a write up about it as it is the most relevant topic to hit BG since Rory and Ben.
LOL You’ve been a bit of a thorn in negs side for a while but I guess there are differences in what the founders want this place to look like. Negs didn’t want it to go back to the eighties tracks mag stuff.
He was doing it becase he cared about the surf community but was getting a lot of flack lately.
I thought he said I was stuck in 90s which would make more sense cuz I was only born in 1975. Surely it’s not up to one man to decide where a surf community go and its decided by the majority? I don’t know I just like talking surfing and laughing
A majority!?!? You’re talking like this is a political party you can vote for. It’s someone else’s website, which you get to use for free, like all sites they appoint a moderator and have discussions about how they want the conversations to look like.
The live chat goes where people take it and isn’t there just to be suited to your taste. You wanted to ban me for life where as the majority and the fucking owner of this joint wanted me back. Does that not seem fucking mental to you? Talk about tunnel vision and holding a grudge
Maybe add some variety to your soundtrack cos as it stands I know every song you play, even to the point of humming them before you even pick up the guitar.

How was the crab Hip?
Always liked the soft shell crab you can get in the San Fran marina area.
Don’t say that in earshot of Crayfish Popsicle. Highly insensitive. “OH PINCHY” Homer.
Man old Stu is gonna be stewed when BG closes and this social zoo moves over to Swellnet.
People adapt Hip.
it’s what defines us as human.
They keep it alive so us old farts can continue to speak to each other in a place we know and feel comfortable
Chaz & Dez should be bestowed with ALL surfing journalistic accolades for B.G Live Chat. Shame Asstonne & Sam. Dispicable losers .in comparison
Well, I ain’t going there. Never signed up.
Not going to.
Gimme BG or gimme death !
Go and test the waters. Make it a 2 year study
Wiggs ! Come back ! We need a moderator !
do we, why?
Haha yeah good question
It only works if it’s a credentialed forum.
Even then depends on the tone and conversation the site owners want.
From what I’ve seen it ends up 4chan gonna rape your mumma chat.
It will be a glorious train wreck though…
we’ll be fine here Negs.
So bizarre you don’t realise the basics of running accounts.
What do you mean? Is this SC? I asked the question and he denied
No its not me, just as Crayfish is not me
Well that’s all cleared up then!
All you drama queens put your blouses back on- things will be fine.
So ..I’ll stop shaving my legs then.
Negs is here but has just “stepped down” from being the mod and people are losing the plot
ie it’s shit.
Only problem with Tanner is he’s fucking hopeless at analysis.
Too concerned with being a nice guy.
Everyone shit scared of being cut from the teat. Only the Blakeys approach authenticity. It’s maddening. Even Richie Lovett comes across as a salesman at times.
One Blakey is a drama queen and the other a clown
I thought you prided yourself on recognising talent? Missing the boat there, mate.
The Blakey brothers have a depth and breadth to their contribution to surfing that dwarfs most.
We need Hippy to come here and defend himself against Strayan Cunt. Show some pride Hip! Don’t be a soft cock!
Hippy’s down in Montecito sharing a sunset view over the yacht harbor with prince Harry while he decides whether to get scallops or sea bass for dinner.
no soft shell crab?
That’s the appetizer.
Good. I always pegged Hip as a man of impeccable tastes.
Don’t eat bottom feeders
The majority of shit floats. Nutrients flow downwards.
Buying a Pliny the Elder
Come on SC is a snapper rock loving norther rivers hipster trady soft cock anyone that cant shut him up is taking him far to seriously.
Now what?
This is better than Jesse v Mikey Wright. Sunny v Neco.
If Negs slaps S.C. like Sunny slapped Liam on that one show I will pay $50 a month for b.g.!
We need to get activity on this thread asap! Negs v S.C. going nuclear and no one is here to participate
I really want the scoop on the zoom meeting.
lol 2×2 minute emails. Done.
least it wasn’t by text.
Ah come on and spill it!
I posted the email here!!
One thing that stands out is the level of changes you are going through.
All the best for you Negs, I got mad respect for you.
Cheers man! Likewise. Look at us now, from threats of violence to holding hands at disneyland.
Violence so overrated.
Especially when you get a fist in the nose.
Or a bullet in the head.
It’s over, no more mods. Gonna be the hunger games from now on.
Scroll down a couple comments. Participate if you dare
Cunt !
Going nuclear? We are just exchanging views. We never got on and I disagreed with the way he dealt with me completely differently to everyone else but I am still sad to see him step down.
Just for the record I think he was right to give me a timeout when I fucked my hoof cuz I am easily bored and was being a cunt, I just think it went on too long.
There are fucking far more offensive cunts than me on here and I haven’t seen anyone else sent to the hole and I have been there 3 times in 9 months!! I am not getting into a war of words and just want to laugh and talk surfing
You sling shit and degrade people with your chest stuck out then slink away and act like a sweet little Puppy when called out.
What, who’s slinking away? I indulge in banter with cunts but it is mainly just me fucking around like I do with mates here. I also cop some shit but just give it back, thats life
Paticipate with smthn like a bunch of little girls fighting over a barbie doll,.
Pass.
You used to be all about the train wreck.
WTF happened to you?
Too many simples
Just rewatching heats now.
Did they need to run another onshore day?
Any thoughts on why the surfers are not seeming to be able to work this wave out , it looks pretty surfable to me but im obviously not at pro level when it comes to high performsnce.
Watch Anat’s 8.17. Her heat had some really nice glassy runners. Then there was a huge crew of screaming Israeli’s greeting her on the beach.
Tons of good scores today thst writd lump in the waves smoothed out some.
I’m up to the last heat.
I just see another gurgly B-grade day.
Isn’t the forecast stacked?
Stacked with swell but wind too. Today was a good day at least for awhile. 8 or 9 waves over 7,5 I think
Anst is fierce
Anat
That end section belt from Anat was good.
Molly’s 7.83 was meh.
Just another low energy , low vibe day in b grade surf.
I guess you are the expert
I just see what I see mate.
That weird lump smoothed out some
Tanner G is growing on me.
That fully Xanaxed delivery is soothing.
Fuck, I fuck off for a holiday and check the 2012 stab vibes are off the charts. Wiggs might even rock up.
Xox
stabcore2012

Same and slept in, no regrets to be honest
Think you’ve answered your own question there.
Is it true you’ve cashed in your chips Negs?
Yip just want to be a punter.
Either way, happy to have ya here Negs
Thanks for all the work you’ve done over the years Negs.
Cheers, It’s like breaking up with a toxic girlfriend. Mixed emotions.

Did Negs quit over SC coming back?
Hahhahahaaha yeh seems he did, I had no idea I was such a cunt!!
seems a weird hill to die on.
Fucking oath

Moaning about moaning!!
So 2026!!
Flick me a email one day. [email protected]
Take a tafe class on humour and social media. You’ll get a certificate !
Guessing you missed the how to structure a joke day?
I missed alot of school
Caity’s turn. Nice.
https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Watching the heat back and they were interviewing Tyler with Caity in a window in the corner when she hit the lip. How unfortunate.

C’est la vie.
I once heard this in a poker game, It’s only money, I’ll get more”
That would upset me as much as a bad beat.
we callled it the “acid mindset”
Outta something? Just go get more
G day cunts, I thought it was a lay day today? Did I miss aTyler Wrong interview?
Negs quit as a mod.
Na he didn’t?
yes, long meeting with Dez and chas last night.
You can hear Dandy Don singing now….
Pretty sure he was let go
Ok maybe, cant believe that would happen. never going to find anyone better.
He’s a good bloke.
was he even getting paid?
I was donating $3.50 every week. A Loch Ness monster would pass by to collect it.
This whole place is a charity at this point. I looked at the web traffic and it went down from one and a half million to two hundred thousand recently, probably because of Surfer mag resurgance.
Derek and Chas are doing it to keep the last remaining surf community alive.
Interesting #’s
That many eyeballs and like 20 of us arguing
Dont think it was the comments more that they put a movie star name in one of the story titles
I have massive respect for both of them. They spit out content just to keep it all alive. Lucky for me, I love shark stories and coastal real estate.

Should have had multiple trips to tavi at this point.
Surf industry stooge!! Never!
Good you are sticking to your principles.
closing shop, that’s what the drama was about
Beachgrit is dying, principles have given up.
I think sc’s “chaotic neutral” take on everything managed to stop the asinine flame wars between valiant scorn and everyone else. Or maybe it’s just correlation and not causation.
Not sure about that.
My guess is that he wasn’t pumped about the reinstatement, one word led to another, and a mutual parting of ways commenced.

You’ve been here 8 months, me 12 years so not really up for a lecture on how things roll Si.
Sometimes some fresh eyes on things are a good idea Negs
Yip, unchained. I don’t hate you Si, it’s what you represent.
One tune, retarded commentary.
Thats fine Negs cuz at least other people like it, it would be boring if we were all the same ay cunt. Variety is the spice of life as they say
“everyone” aye.
Maybe add some variety to your soundtrack cos as it stands I know every song you play, even to the point of humming them before you even pick up the guitar.
Didn’t say everyone? I am just saying it appears that some on here enjoy my take on things
Pretty sure he’s just gone to Europe and Indo and will be back in a couple of months…
Some beer and pretzels will sort him out.
Na its all further down the chat brother. Expecting to get a call about filling the vacancy later hahahaha only joking
Hello can you hear me!!?. I’m on one bar and locked in a basement of a man in call Jürgen send help to m at the corner of hi
