what a pair of privileged California cunts. OMG my internet is down, I eat out 3 times a week, why can't I go to the beach to surf, fuck New Yorkers, quick backtrack, I really feel their pain. Hardship for them is a joke. I love visiting California but it's just too full of cunts like these two. Why has Newport bit got a cluster of Covid, because they are all living it up in their gated communities, having food delivered and bitching because they can't surf. Hearing this just makes you want to stick a pick axe in their spinal column.
How do you assholes not get it. Social distancing only works if we all do it. you and i are not special. have you seen the numbers from NYC? this could be anywhere. I am a teacher and our prime minister wants my class room to be full of students. i cant surf, but i can wrlcome and send a class of students home to infect their parents, grandparents us teachers. No you are not in NY, for fuck sakes. your sounding like Trump the fucknuckle right now.
Kelly is cool. I hope he keeps surfing. he shuts up the tools that day "your too old". A friend encouraged me to learn to surf at 52. best thing I have done. I'm fitter, more flexible, leaner and stoked with learning a new sport. Kelly helps me to learn more and surf better. Viva la Slater !!!!!! I hope he wins an event this year, the guy rips🤙🏻
