The Beach Grit goon is a metrosexual fag who seems to get his chicks panties in a wad with his daily use to affirm he actually has manhood.
The Stab dood is a pillow bitter who still wears teenage mutant nijna pajamas to bed.
These people are the problem with surfing...they are the ones who perpetuate the Costco Wave Storm .
They came across as “Disrupters!.! .” Many bought in...as we all know...they are a bunch of kooks.
There’s a reason why the tired and true remain...Surfer Mag and the other Australian Pillars. They have never tried to tell us what is cool or how to think...they already know we will always be 10 steps ahead of them.
Chas protects himself from being made fun of by never writing serious articles. His approach is kind of brilliant. By mocking the authoritative pretentiousness of surf journos past and present, and highlighting their cozy little industry boundaries, he has made himself an authority.The Beach Grit goon is a metrosexual fag who seems to get his chicks panties in a wad with his daily use to affirm he actually has manhood.

Uh...In what way has he done that?Yeah Ashton is a bit of a kook, but he has raised the bar in quality surf coverage through film.
Have you seen the new Redbull stuff with him as the host?Before the Redbull/Stab stuff, the best surfing coverage was those cheesy action sports show template with little 10 minute bits and some obnoxious non-surfer host.
He should go back to his former occupation of writing about food and wine in his hometown of Tampa.It's quite amusing that this Goggans fellow is universally reviled. I wonder if he has any idea.
That's one aspect of his writing that I miss.Prancing about claiming designers and Chateau Marmont...I mean I love visiting LA but the constant obsession with stupid sh!t...
8/10 would take bait and make drag sing.That's one aspect of his writing that I miss.
It was trollish and hilarious.
"I am wearing a pair of black Gucci loafers as I make my way to the competitor's area..."
"I am wearing what most Angelenos would assume are generic knock offs of New Balance celibatech trainers, unfuckable shin socks and khaki bermuda shorts, and an obnoxiously orange and blue Florida t-shirt, scurrying to feed the Potty meter before you actually need to pay. Transplants from Maryland and Ohio hasten to be helpful and tell the touron not to waste his money. The actual locals appear to be choking back their own vomit..."
Chas,Wow, so close!
I get that this is the type of surf journalism you like...but if I was part of the Vans crew, I would be calling a damage control meeting pronto.Why does everyone hate Ashton so much.
Uh...In what way has he done that?

He's incredibly cringey to watch/hear narrate. He's trying so hard.
I've never watched JOB.The only consistent video surf content has been lame vlogs and segmented action sports show formats.
You wanna talk cringy? What about tryhard JOB weekly pretending to be a nice guy (he's always been an absolute d@ck/bully) to hustle a few foamies? Much more cringeworthy in my opinion.
