Chas Smith Hates Surf Ponchos

Are you a naturist at heart? A firm believer in the notion that there’s no such thing as bad nudity?
And that the ugly and the old have a sensuality that is unique and magnificent even if it is often accompanied by the faint lingering odour of urine?
Over the course of the past, I don’t know exactly how long, five years perhaps, a grim trend has crept into the modern surf culture.
While we were all distracted by the vulnerable adult learner, in came the surf poncho, a shawl of sorts to protect the world from the evil of nudity.
Recently, The Inertia reviewed a series of surf ponchos which upset Chas Smith very much.
The noted journalist describes the surf poncho as “an assault on fashion, on surfing and common decency!”

Love your show! Please continue. More humor and sarcasm to the surfing industry!

I’m a surfer from the uk, people have taken to wearing these doing their weekly shopping, like some kind of misguided badge of honour, it’s very common to see these repulsive items sported by soccer mums and middle aged dads the uk over, thank you for bringing this travesty up and reminding the world that once our beloved sport used to be core!
Don’t go changing! Xx
