\"Breachgriddle\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stab<\/strong> magazine founder Derek Rielly<\/strong> and Welcome To Paradise Now Go To Hell<\/a><\/em><\/strong> author Chas Smith<\/strong> believe that some surfers are still <\/em>interested in viewing clever, well written groupings of words and photos related to surfing. And for all 11 of you who are interested yet have grown tired of the incessantly sincere sniveling of The Inertia<\/a><\/strong> they have created BeachGrit<\/a><\/strong>. Here’s how they see it:<\/p>\n

BeachGrit is as fearless as it is fun. It does what no other space in surf does because it has seen it all and knows that surfing is light, loose and libertine. Every day is a new day and there is much to explore. Surfing is, after all, the most anti-depressive thing ever!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

See? Doesn’t that snappy bit of prose lift your loins like a sandy crack selfie? Apparently, Anastasia Ashley’s literary rump<\/a><\/strong> wasn’t driving as many clicks as it used to so BeachGrit has enlisted Ruth Bader Ginsberg<\/a><\/strong> (above) as their new “it girl.” Follow the jump for the official word from Rielly & Smith<\/a><\/strong> or just click the link and see it for yourself.Ruth Bader Ginsberg, second female Supreme Court justice and first Jew, cocked her pencil-thin eyebrows, when asked about BeachGrit, and said,
\n\u201cWhat the hell is a BeachGrit?\u201d<\/p>\n

The press corps chuckled and whispered that she had finally succumbed to age. Don\u2019t look foolish like the liberal lioness! Come and learn and be forever changed!
\nBeachGrit is Derek Rielly. Derek founded the multi- language magazine Surf Europe in France before turning to men\u2019s magazines before jumping back and founding Stab and, later, stabmag.com.<\/p>\n

Stab went on to become the envy of publishing, winning a bevy of imitators. It was slick, edgy, dangerous and impossibly stylish. Under Derek hearts were broken and passions were fired. But, over time, Stab became, let\u2019s be very honest, a dull jack-off of ugly brands. Hey, baby, money talks but Derek always wants more and decided it was time to have fun again.<\/p>\n

BeachGrit is Chas Smith. Chas was never supposed to be here. He grew up in rural Oregon, spent time trolling the Middle East and chased meaningless graduate degrees in linguistics. But he always loved the surf and dreamed of writing in the magazines when he was a pale child.<\/p>\n

Eventually, dreams came true and he \u201ctoiled\u201d at the illustrious Surfing Magazine. Life was wonderful, but the more meetings he attended, the more he craved for something different. Let\u2019s be very honest just once more, the American surf magazines are impossibly hideous and way more meaningless than graduate degrees in linguistics.
\nDerek called Chas and said, \u201cShall we?\u201d Chas responded, \u201cYou had me at shall.\u201d And a new website was born.<\/p>\n

BeachGrit is as fearless as it is fun. It does what no other space in surf does because it has seen it all and knows that surfing is light, loose and libertine. Every day is a new day and there is much to explore. Surfing is, after all, the most anti-depressive thing ever!<\/p>\n
