If you’re a conservative comedian then OMG … did Jesus hand you some comedic gold this past week in the form of a white chick posing as a black chick who's been heading up an NAACP chapter in Spokane. If that’s not a gift from heaven then I don’t know what is. Yep, this past week the NAACP’s Rachel Dolezal got busted for playing like she’s some sort of Jackie Brown character for the last several years. Her parents were the ones who called bullshit on Rachel's ruse, stating that she hails from German, Czech and Swedish descent; which means...

Would you look at that? What is being referred to as a Lefty Twitter Wannabe that is supposedly free of hateful content (because you know, Elon Musk ensuring people of all political persuasions have a voice on his platform is hateful) sure seems hateful if you're in any way, shape or form Right-leaning. Some have even called it the 'Twitter Killer,' but so far we are less than impressed. Look at what's happening to Libs of TikTok's Chaya Raichik: As a woman, it’s pretty creepy when a man is obsessed with you and harasses you on social media. pic.twitter.com/pKelmEwDKM —...

A professional surfer in Florida was injured Saturday when a shark bit his elbow, leaving him bloody and with deep tooth marks. According to WJXT, surfer Frank O'Rourke was surfing at Jacksonville Beach around 3:30 p.m. when the shark latched onto his arm, knocking him off his board. O'Rourke's friend, RJ Berger, saw the whole thing happen. "He was right there behind the wave and boom, that's when he got hit," Berger said. Berger said O'Rourke was treated by a lifeguard but did not go to a hospital, even though Berger said he thinks his friend could have used a...

Chris Bertish enters the English Harbour at Antigua on Thursday, a flare trailing behind him in celebration. He paddled more than 4,050 nautical miles to reach this point. Courtesy Brian Overfelt for The SUP Crossing In the span of 93 days, Chris Bertish crossed more than 4,050 nautical miles of Atlantic Ocean — and he conquered this lonely crossing standing up. When the South African surfer entered English Harbour on the island of Antigua on Thursday, he was riding the same massive stand-up paddleboard that bore him from Morocco's Agadir Marina roughly three months ago. Still, if Bertish's equipment wasn't...

The Guardian ^ | 8/7 | Rory Carroll
he Beach Boys still provide summer’s soundtrack but headlines suggest it’s not a great time to be surfing. There has been a spate of high-profile shark attacks on surfers in the US, Australia and South Africa. And surfers themselves have been exposed for bullying novices out of the water. Landlubbers may conclude you need to to be slightly unhinged to entrust – let alone devote – your life to a thin slab of fibreglass in the watery unknown. William Finnegan sort of agrees. And he, more than anyone, should know. He has been surfing for half a century, chasing waves...

A California surfer has won a recycled surfboard contest with an entry covered with 10,000 cigarette butts. “This is the most polluted item picked up on the beach,” creator Taylor Lane told the Orange County Register. “And no one thinks twice that you can do anything with it.” Lane, 24, from Santa Cruz had the top entry amid an assortment of boards made from potato sacks, used packaging and stuff picked up from Dumpster dives. An Australian entry was made from an old bathroom door. The entries were for the third annual “Creators & Innovators Upcycle Contest,” hosted by the...

Dan Murphy was surfing Cardiff By-the-Sea when a wiggly little creature jumped on his board and crawled up his back. At first, the Cardiff resident thought he was being attacked. But as he turned around, he saw a sea lion pup hugging him, as if the animal were scared. Murphy, a longtime surfer, was amazed. On that Sunday morning off the shore of San Elijo Campground, a friendship was formed, he said. “You see a lot of wildlife. You see those pups around this time of year,” he said. “I’ve never seen them interact with people like that.” Murphy said...

Much of California's coastline is closed amid the coronavirus pandemic—but on Saturday morning, a surfer who apparently really needed his fix was fined $1,000 for ignoring the rules, the Los Angeles Times reports. A Los Angeles County lifeguard at Manhattan Beach ordered the man to stay out of the water, to which he replied, per the Easy Reader: "Go ahead and arrest me." The lifeguard says the man then threw out some "colorful language" before heading into the waves. The lifeguard called his supervisor, who called police. A cop arrived with a code enforcement officer, who issued the citation.
