I'm not that creative. Those are actual quotes. The dude really does ride a 6'3" on bomb surf and he's crazier than a shit house rat. But he is real. Heart of gold? Maybe. His own surf lingo and the infrequent brilliance mixed with an exaggerated sense of self bordering on delusions of grandeur? Absofrickinlutely.

I have met Beanrat, he is real. He would come out to our sacred Sat Bch reef riding a 9 foot + rhino chaser, sit out there and catch and charge.

He is real, but I have not seen him in years.

This shot is from a COLD day on December 22, 2012. This was after Leslie, then Sandy, then the Thanksgiving killer weekend ... 4 great swells in the fall of '12.

BeanRat is legend.





And yes, those are skivvies, or speedos, but like I said, the man is legend.

All other surfers, including my self-proclaimed Polar Bear self were sporting full suits, but BR, well, you see the evidence before you.
