A good moviemaker, Rory Pringle, at his best, and a wonderful surfer, Mason HO, at better than his best, which is considerable.
The Chinese-American surfer Mason Ho has never made a wrong move, he makes even bad surf movies memorable. Mason Ho has spanned three decades without ever losing his “star” status.
The Surf Movie, as you can attest, is basically an infantile genre. It either idealises false values, while also insulting the surfers themselves, or else it is an anti-surfing, as per BeachGrit, which is facile and also infantile.
While most American surf movies were veering dangerously toward a light comedy repertory, the moviemaker Rory Pringle introduced an incisive probe into the mystical human spirit, creating such beautiful films as IN HO NESIA and its stunning sequel IND HO NESIA DEUX, the mini-series Mason’s Medieval Madness and Caveheart on a pathetic budget to show that there was such a thing as more taste than money.
Caveheart II shows a good moviemaker, Rory Pringle, at his best, and a wonderful surfer, Mason HO, at better than his best, which is considerable.
You just cannot stop laughing, all the time knowing that you shouldn’t be laughing, Mason’s wipeouts aren’t funny, they’re so real and tragic it hurts, but so funny, lord.
Essential.

Mason’s movie is actually pretty decent, besides the weord music.
His crew scored amazing waves.
Love triangle incubating a decision, lucky for choice
vacay with the ex? You know she fucks, love her g string, lingering thoughts of all your friends that recently fucked her, arguments that will never be solved, but mini is thrilled with the reunion?
OR
Clandestine and distanced flirting with a woman in Seppo heartland that you just know is a love match. What you would do to that sofa surfing. Do you ,make the husband watch? Can you handle moving to Grand Rapids? Bicko moved to Munich?
OR
Full sloth mode visits to Mindy? Scratch an itch, move on with inebriation and log onto your precious Discus account?
the point is, if you’re an extremely charismatic Strayan with the gift of gab, do you even make the choice or just succumb to all three muses?
Or 4, get eaten by a shark.
I kindof like this format better and with all my headaches over Gaza, Ukraine etc and all the fuck wits preying to me it’s a cacophony of sook and all I want to do is Bless Erin Brooks with set waves under priority
In surfing news fuck the WSL and Jameis Winston is obsessed with crab legs.
And fuck the broncos
Hey Derek and Chas, is there a chance you can provide a plus/minus update on when your tech folks will resolve this mildly troubling tech issue? Granted my request is self-serving as I can only post so many comments on FT.com in an effort to upset the minions of the EU/UK before my boredom reaches troubling levels.
Thank you in advance for addressing my emotional needs!
You should go back to F1. This is going to take a while and nobody cares about your personal petty dramas.
FYI- FT.com is not F1 but I can always find an F1 fan page to post contra trash to upset the disciples of the waif boi drivers. Thank you Derek!
F1, FT, FU.
Apropos!!!! As soon as Billy Bragg’s version of Gentle on My Mind finishes, I’ll crank this up to 11! Separately, I just explained* to Mrs Madeoff the absolute meltdown the BG faithful are enduring while the boys resolve their Disqus transition. For some reason she is of the belief that males are the weaker of the genders due to our latent infantile tendencies. Who am I to argue?
*We debated and understand the various justifications for this transition but the unfolding drama amongst the BG faithful is an interesting biproduct of the tech hurdle.
As my favorite GC always said “this too shall pass”
Atta boy!
said the same thing about my kidney stones but didn’t make it any less painful
does seem like I need a therapist given how much losing the old familiar Disqus comment section impacts my psychological well being – gives new meaning to first world problems
Medina wearing a Quiksilver wetsuit in California will always be funny, as a middle finger to Rip Curl. His girl also has a stunning ass. She’s beautiful all over.
“Palestine” is not a country and has never been a country in more than 3000 years of recorded history.
“Palestine” will never be a country.
Let’s all consider this statement to be the truth of the matter.
Thank You
WHY you choose to post this when we have much more pressing matters to resolve is beyond me. So lets work on the below first:
Bullet point 4. Good question.
Jews be fucking with Palestinians since the way back, fool.
Joel 3:4
4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
What, the try hard photog isn’t the historian he thought he was??
Im confused
Default setting for Pete.
Look at you pathetic loser’s now. What a shambles. Second shittest thing you have done after letting that dognuts pleb moderate this tabloid impersonation realm.
Circle the drain much?
Im trying to organize another bitch slap for Chas, is Ashton available?
Waiting for a stab article on this dumpster fire transition.
How the tables have turned.
For shame.
Fuck you cunt!
I would kick you out of my house ya fuckn dickhead
You are the reason why we can’t have good things with some common decency
You cannot Control Yourself
Dez is a coveted hom o jew. Thats why he protects israel, j e w s only do thing to better themselves. In this case Fagboy needs a haven of coc ks that will accept since the surf community isnt with gayshit….
Its true im a lover of coCKS!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!@@
Drag this one off Pete
Jeffery epstein brought most of three children to me and dez!!! Can you say 3some in Arabic you fools!! Trump j erk ed off in corner, cuz hes a limp seppo..
Why is everyone so dumb these days? If everyone listened to me online we could all be GOATS together with me as king. Isn’t that what we all want or is it just me?
I’ll see you in the PooPoo Pool Kelly for a surf off
Yay Jimmy!
No Chas and Derek, enough of this nonsense. Even my long serving nanny Maude who is also my tech advisor can no longer make sense of these new shenanigans. I make many comments on this platform to benefit the peasants who seem to frequent down here but my patience is now running thin.
If this continues then you will soon be reserving a letter from my family lawyer, who also represented OJ on fine letter headed paper and believe me the pair of you will be sorry. Please hurriedly do better or American justice will prevail
Fuckn Hell. BeachGrit will be Bankrupted!
At 86,000 Comments, how much are each or your comments worth?
And we need to adjust for inflation and interest rates, for each comment made. Loss of wages incurred during commenting due to addiction, etc.
It takes 65 goes goes to try and hit the edit button withing 15 minutes..
It is like winning a slot machine when it works…..
I gave up
Get a life you lonely turd.
Sounds cool man?
What is your Mum’s address?
Should I bring some LEGO over?
Poor lonely AI chatbot turd can’t find a life anywhere.
Johnny Cochran was not the best lawyer in Los Angeles. He wasn’t even the best lawyer on OJ Simpson’s legal team.
But Johnny Cochran understood one thing: Under US law, judges do not decide cases, prosecutors do not decide cases, and defence lawyers do not decide cases – juries decide cases.
So while everyone else was playing to the courtroom cameras and reporters, Johnny Cochran addressed all his comments directly to the jury in a language they could understand: “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit”
He won.
OJ Simpson, a man clearly guilty of two charges of premeditated first-degree murder, walked free.
American justice.
Johnny’s cock ran straight up your poop shoot and you loved every minute of it, especially when OJ put on the glove and lubed it up.
Never thought my longrunning extremely financially lucrative BG commenting career would fizzle out this way.
I always thought I’d hit 10,000 comments (had 2,500 to go) and then go out in a blazing glory of my own choosing.
Perhaps by celebrating through a $10,000 a day drug addiction, or crashing one of many exotic European sport cars or helicopters (paid for through TheGrittyBeachNews advertising multi-squillions).
Anything but this
Anything…
You’ll be back Bigger & Better than ever, just hold on
I feel ya Beef. This shit is whack.
Has anyone figured out how to login??
No but suckin jew di ck is way easy on here!! In the name of Iz rael….right dezzy.
I want my Disqus back
Ok gang here is an update about my upcoming wholesome family holiday. We have now canned North Straddie and will be going to Palm Cove for 5 nights in the middle of November. This is cuz Mini has always been desperate to see the Great Barrier Reef and the three of us all share birthdays inside three weeks of that month
I am currently in shred mode and trying to get as physically and mentally prepared as I can. I am eating well, surfing as much as I can and wanking like an absolute mad cunt. Its also warming up here now and I’m doing bigs days outside framing so already starting to resemble a bronzed Greek god
I have even started trying to talk in a more family friendly fashion by trying not to use fuck or cunt and I admit this is proving difficult but progress is being made. On Friday at work, despite constant provocation I reckon I made it to at least 5 minutes. I now have few doubts that by mid November my charm, charisma and rippling rig will be irresistible to any Sheila in Straya under 40. Fuck it, if it all goes tits up at least it will be the easiest and most enjoyable 200 hundy bucks Mindy has ever made.
Love yous all and try and remember that in tough times real cunts stick together and don’t fall apart and crumple like a cheap suit.This temporary slight hiccup will soon pass and BG and the below the line crew of legends will emerge on the side even better and wiser for it xx
The commitment is incredible.
will say I was sad when mini’s mum cancelled our tango lesson but I understood that she had to make sacrifices to appease mini’s father as he’s apparently needy and insecure and they have a weekly chat to check in on his dating life.
(SCunt you know I’m just being a dickhead we can’t start getting all soft in the comments during a trying time)
How was Javier tonight Bog? As firm, friendly but strict as usual mate?
There it is
I can’t believe how lost everyone has gotten in a couple of days, and have no faith? Hahaha
Proof Beach Grit is actually some kind of “Ultra-Hard Surf Candy” drug
Along with some severe withdrawals…
Hahahahaha. I understand the seppo cunts freaking out but not the Strayan fellas. I still remember the quote of that famous seppo general Patten fella who said if he was tasked with invading hell he would use Australians to take it and New Zealanders to keep it. Now we have fellow cunts freaking out cuz of a slight detour in the road. Its sad and brings a tear to me eye brother
Ultra-Hard Surf Candy is not something to fuck around with…
So it seems brother, cunts are losing their minds and its only been two days haha
At least the next contest is Portugal so never watch live anyway due to the nighttime vs daytime conflict
If we lose the live chat it’s pure and simply the end of me and proper surf chat in general brother. It was all that was left of what we all fell in love with
The thing about Australians is they love a good yarn. Doesn’t matter if anyone is listening or not.
You don’t have eyes, chatbot.
Mindy charges 200 hundy bucks ?
As in, $20,000 (twenty thousand dollars) ?
Criiiikey maate, she muust be goood…
Cunt probably chose the annual anytime contract, compared to the daily or weekly.
(MAX 5 TIMES A DAY in the T&C)
You, ya daughter, and the ex all have birthdays in a 3 week period of November ?
Same here actually, but in October…
Your chatbot fantasies are boring. Go drink some 90 weight.
