Is a “Surf Journalist” the Most Absurd Thing? | “That none of this means anything but it is our greatest struggle to make sense of it.”
Does it shock you that being a “surf journalist” is almost a real job career?
It should because it still shocks most people that play around with surf words for a living.
What Youth hired BeachGrit’s Chas Smith to write some more words about this absurd thing we call a surf journalism.
Here is a sample:
“And it is the surf journalist who takes it all one step further by contextualizing this utter vapidity. By committing it all to phrase, sentence, paragraph, story. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine writing about it? Can you imagine writing about how a grown man wears his surf trunks? Asking grown men about how they wear their surf trunks? Asking a professional surfer anything at all?
Asking a professional surfer thinks about… anything? At all? Thinking about what a professional surfer is thinking about even?
Well, I’ve been doing for the better part of my adult life and can tell you that it is… it is… it is absurd!
Oh I’m not smarter or deeper or more meaningful than the professional surfer or any other surfer. I’m saying I’m dumber and more shallow if that is even possible. All surf journalists are.”
