I recall some animosity that was vaguely directed toward Patagonia after they were no longer sponsored from the malloys on social media. I say vague but it was fairly obvious who it was directed toward.

So are the malloys back to being pudding eating cowboys at the ranch :shrug:

You ever see it when he would paddle out with a group of employees and they’d all sit in the lineup in a circle around him, all facing him? Super bizarre.

Yeah, he stuffed me really bad almost to the point of being an assault. We got tangled up and told him to get the fook out.

One of his minions said to me, “don’t you know who that is?”

I told him to GTFO too.

These days it’s just employees showing up on lunch break with their hey-bro-all-good attitude and proceed to take every wave.

I type all this outfitted head to toe in Patagonia Work Wear, btw. What can I say, they make good sh!t.

I have those same hemp work pants?, dank.
First thing I do whenever possible and it’s not just PG is cut the labels off. I don’t like labels/branding.

Not to keep "harping" (sorry) on my upcoming trip to Ireland, but supposedly the Malloy's keep a few boards under somebody's deck on Inis Mor, for crazy strike missions to surf those reefs out there. We're spending our first 2 nights on Inis Mor next Wednesday and Thursday...Maybe a hurricane swell?? That's entirely possible. So many of those Atlantic Hurricanes do a big right turn and head off towards Europe...North Atlantic is a pretty active place in early Fall

carry on

how about a few years back the two guys that prone paddled from bc to baja. their story about winding up miles offshore when traversing the columbia rivermouth is gnarly.

Seems that way and making their own films. I’d be interested to hear if there’s a backstory. They’re my favorite surfers.

I’ve been in the water with Dan on a few occasions.

Always seemed like just another dude in the lineup. Surfs really good. Mellow guy.

No idea what happened between them and Pat. I do know that they never actually wore Patagonia wetsuits unless it was for an ad.

I thought they were farmsteading and repping Yeti now. Somehow they’re involved with Jimmy Chin. Their market is middle aged men like us who are trying to stave off death with exercise, pharmaceuticals, adventures, and other cope.

They always seemed very nonchalant about pro surfing and the industry. Dane Reynolds kinda similar ish I guess. Doesn’t seem like a great way to stay in the game long term from what I can tell.

Or just find “the guy” on the island who knows the Malloys, and knows when and how the reefs work out there. It’s like 1785 on the Aran Islands. As soon as they see a coffin bag coming off the ferry and into a horse buggy, I’m willing to bet “the guy” is at our Inn, within the hour
