If he could, it’s a sure bet JOB would be droppin’ Tweets from the lineup…Photo: Bosko
JOB is a Twitter madman. The tweets that spill from his brain by way of “whoisjob” are frequent, and frequently amazing. Ranging from late-night rants to early morning surf reports, JOB tells all and has no filter between his cerebrum and his keyboard. If you want to be entertained, angered, awed, confused, and enlightened, sign up to receive an onslaught of JOB tweets, they come about every 20 minutes or so—be prepared for some tweaked tweets.
Read them for yourself and follow your new media messiah http://twitter.com/whoisjob—Chris Cote
Here are five of my favorite recent tweets from JOB:
“I gotta get back to camp. More surf tomorrow. But before I go, I hate people who like the new Star Trek.”—9:26 AM Jun 7th from txt
“The sexual metaphor of barrel riding, while overplayed, is apt.”—11:05 AM Jun 6th from txt
“By deep barrels I mean hugging the foam ball, almond eye pinching out the light. But I know how to pump like no one else.”—11:04 AM Jun 6th from txt
“My activities are unusual, I’m naturally in harmony. Grabbing for nothing. Throwing nothing away. Supernatural ability. Amazing activity.”—12:22 PM Jun 5th from txt
“The retarded mouse, Ron Paul became a haute label for some. Barack O for everyone else.”—10:52 AM Jun 3rd from txt

geez, you might as well just link directly to postsurf, Cote.
June 9th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Cause only industry insider dickheads like you go to postsurf
June 9th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
here, I’ll do it for all the folks here who are a month behind on this hard-breaking story: http://postsurf.com/2009/05/11/who-is-job/
June 9th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
Like I said, only dickheads like you (and sometimes me) go to postsurf.
way to break the big story Stu, you really got me good.
I just linked my link back from your link to my link, triple burn.
June 9th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
is that a triple burn twice, or do you think only the second posting got me? Hey, while you’re at it, do you have any more LA Times articles to link to? Maybe copy some dirt from Stab or pull some pics off surfshot’s latest on-line mag (which, btw, is not bad) and post them as your own?
June 9th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Can you send me some good links from those sites so I can post them directly from you?
I’ll put up an article called, The Stu Approves: Our Most Mouthy Commenter Chooses Choice Regurgitated Web Blurbs For Your Enjoyment”
seriously, send me some
chris.cote@transworld.net
lets see what you can do, Stu
June 9th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
will do. I’ll need a few hours to study up on the best already-published surf stories out there though.
June 9th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
I’ll get more later, but you can start with being slow to the punch with the news of Slater’s re-signing with ZQK: http://www.wetsand.com/blogs/blog/20090609/speculation_over__slater_stays_with_quiksilver-2509.html
June 9th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Yeah I just tweeted that shit
you can do better than that Stu
email me, chris.cote@transworld.net
June 9th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
Stu, you’re a douche.

Chris - I took your challenge to heart and scoured the internets for surf articles I thought worthy of a Stu thumbs up. You will see that none had to do with Benji Weatherly.

back when I thought twitter (and Jamie O’s tweets) were cool, I remember him actually twittering from the lineup, he did about 4 updates before the phone sunk
June 10th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Hey Stu,
Maybe you are on to something. Since you have infinite amount of time to post on TWS and Lewis’ blog, why don’t you create a Bloomberg portal for the surf industry? Just think, people nationwide could have heard about Slater’s new contract immediately after it was happening!!!
June 10th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
now, now, Angela… I spend minutes a day playing here and on Lewis’ site, which is apparently all the time I need to beat you to the Slater-story punch.

slater is riding for gatorade starting july did you know that you know it all’s?? they got terje (snow) and chad ortiz (skate) now they’re hitting surf

way to scoop it, Jordan.
