Third Annual Cabo Slosh-A-Bout

The Third Annual Slosh-A-Bout was held this week in a remote location on the East Cape of Baja Mexico. While the underground event has no official sponsors—you’ll understand why when you see these photos—a diverse crew of the surf industry’s finest show up every year for a chance at the title. This year the stakes were raised to a whole new—completely disgusting—level. This photo gallery is not for the faint of heart. Seriously.

Um, great, hidden gem Cabo with a bunch of dudes pissing on each other and rolling in sand. I’d rather stay at home and watch American Idol then Amerca’s Greatest Celebrity Dancer.

Typical pinche gringos continuing the lame legacy of dumb drunk gringos in Mexico. What happens in Cabo, should have stayed home… Try one of the SIMA workshops and go home smarter than you left (instead of dumber).

Incredible. Thrilling to know Bonnier Picks up the tab for so many professionals. You have the slosh-about, a board retailers conference in Puerto Rico, the ricky dicky fishing trip out of D Point, a golf tourney….all in the past 3 weeks. But Veeco releases earnings…and all you can do is cut and paste a press release. Thats talent.

So what’s wrong with the posts you refer to? Is there a space limit on this site? Do they offend your sensibilities? And what do you want said about the veeco earnings that wasn’t mentioned in a press release.

Are you insinuating that there’s no investigative reporting going on on this site? Maybe you should check out the “features” section.

Looks like up a couple people didn’t get the invite, and are a little bit sour about it.

Yea this really puts a solid image on the surf industry ” professionals”, bunch of drunks, I understand the industry is built on fun, but in my opinion, this doesn’t seem that cool. I like to have a good time to, but don’t act like a 15 year old while doing it.

Yeah, supr rad that we spend over 300K a year with transworld but cant get a call from our stupid rep cuz they are to busy getting wasted in Cabo on the beach in the sun, doesnt matter though cuz I am allergic to sunscreen so i wouldnt have had a good time anyways.

Coulda fooled me. And by the way, i’m just really bored right now, i don;t really care either way. Just like the whole gay marriage thing. Who cares…

Johnny, it seems like you do care, perhaps you lack of invitation is what has you so hot around the collar no? With aname like Johnny you must be a kook, I surf twice a day 7 days a week, I would have ripped every guy there drunk or sober - North Beacons crew represent!

North Beacons… Never heard of it. The Inlet for life dawg!!!

The inlet? Apparently you never surfed Beacons on a solid overhead NW swell have you? I been out there when it 6-10 solid winter swell while everyone else surfs Swamis and i got in and outs for solid 3 seconds bro, got the clips posted on my myspace page if you need proof.

Chief2…sounds like your on the inside. So let me give you some advice, direct from management. What you should have done, instead of worrying about your ego and your “investigative” journalism, was delete the article and comments before my henchman Terry and his boys saw it. Whooooops.

Hey, I’m ultimately a fan of Biz & TW Surf but this just comes off looking unbelievably stupid. You can quote me on that one too.

Also, I believe it’s a good idea to build “relationships” within the industry for those who work in said industry… but this? Seriously? How much more “Bro-Bra” lame can you get than this cliche’d situation? It’s the exact reason this industry gets a bad wrap… “Way too bro-bra, cool guy”.

“bro bra” is that for your bro with man boobs? Slater kills it. Yeah Florida!

Oh my goodness. If you saw all sixty of those photos and didn’t laugh out loud just a little…then you should probably lighten up…or maybe eat a cow turd. It’s called FUN people.

Honestly, you guys that are complaining sound like you were jealous of the simple fun they were all having. Enjoy life, have fun, and remember the only thing you can take to the grave are you memories. Hopefully your memories will be as fun as the Sloshabout boys, but I doubt it.

Seems most of you have very thin skins… get over yourselves — you actually need someone to hold your hand because you’re not at SIMA?

Wow…looks like the best way to wash down cow shit is with some Hater-Ade. Here’s the beauty of it: the more shit talking, the more traffic they’re getting!

is being a fat-ass a prerequisite to working at Transworld, or do they feed yoy pasta and steak everyday once you get a job there? Jesus, Cote is the skinniest guy on the beach - everyone present should be ashamed of themselves. Looks like a good time…although it seems like a long trip for a bunch of industry burn-outs to play grab-ass
