The Scottish survivor changes his tune but with one caveat!
Do you recall the thrilling tale of the Scottish surfer who survived a mid-morning session at his local Scottish break and then got in a rip and sucked all the way to Ireland? 32 hours bobbing and paddling and thinking he was going to die.
But he didn’t die and, resting comfortably in a Belfast hospital, told his mother that he would never surf again. The sentiment, of course, makes great logical sense though I must admit to being taken aback when reading of the bold assertion and opined how most of us are so rottenly besotted to this surfing that we will never give it up even when in our interest. Even when we should.
Like opioid addicts!
Well, it warmed my heart this morning to read that dear Rip Current Rory has changed his tune and is thinking about getting back on the Oxys! I mean board! Let’s read together in the Belfast Telegraph.
A surfer rescued in the North Channel after more than 30 hours stranded at sea has revealed he may return to the sport.
Matthew Bryce (22) has been treated for hypothermia after he was found drifting on his surfboard 13 miles from Northern Ireland and 16 miles from Scottish shores.
Following his ordeal he vowed never to surf again, but has now said he may get back on a surfboard as part of a group.
And that’s almost the spirit! Group surfing is better than no surfing at all.
Or is it?
Never mind. It is.
(*as part of a group)
Are those Wigolly and Kay Otts dropping in on Kelly?
Can’t recognize the other two. Maybe Pottz is one of them?
we need an article about the isa champs. ffs there are fuckers in this comp who cannot even paddle out past the whitewater and surf worse than my 90 year old grandmother during another raging hemorrhoid infection. this is what the world will see for the olympics? there are people sponsored who literally surf worse than chas. wtf? and the crowds. not one. not two. but noone at all on the beach. NOONE. fucking pony wanking championships get more fans watching. this aint the olympic spirit. this is goddamn leftover spermatoza after a shameful wank to 90s porn magazine – yes, print – spirit. i am not a fucking elitest. we all suck. and sucky surfing is fine. but dont go fucking declaring this is somehow elite or even gutter level surfing. if someone manages to do an air reverse they’ll shit their diapers.
tell us more about these pony wnkng championships.
I have a participation ribbon in the 10-12 year old category. My dad made me enter.

thats a fucking unicorn dude.
Wanking ponies, fucking unicorns..it’s all the same.
My buddy Jim paid his way through Uni wanking sheep for artificial insemination, and he’s now a very well balanced middle aged bachelor.
And you thought i was joking.
Props to your g-ma for even bothering to surf during those raging hemorrhoid infections.
BEST COMMENT ON THE GRIT IN A WHILE. THE ISA GAMES ARE IN FACT A PILE OF SHIT
Will be as relevant to Surfing as Olympic Golf and Tennis is to their sports. Unless there is a pre-qualifying series that vets out the Chas’s [and me’s].
Fuck I was hoping shark hysteria and rip currents would keep surf hobbyists out of the water forever
Rocking up to the beach with his newly assembled crew…

Ha! Have you seen 2?
I haven’t! Have you? Is it any good?
I haven’t either but will…
T2 is great. Nostalgiac and funny
I’ve heard it is, against all odds, actually good!
Passable, but only if you have the nostalgia for original. I enjoyed, took my toddler to a daytime matinee, Mahou in one hand, toddler broccoli puffs in the other.
Sick boy is so sick!
