Get the tissues ready.
“Surfers are the worst…” “We’re all horrible selfish bastards…” “Surfers drain natural wetlands in order to build wavepools and call it environmentalism…” are common refrains among our kind. A sort of acceptance of our fallen natures.
As Scottish surfer and highlander J.P. Currie declared yesterday, “Surfing delivers the highest concentration of kooks and losers outside of ultimate frisbee.”
But he was certainly not meaning Canadian surfers. Beautiful saints. Perfect in every way.
Have you never seen Pete Devries in his log cabin all lumberjacky?
Wonderful.
And now we also have Zach Regan and Matty Johnson, two other Canadians, who planned an exciting overnight surf/camping trip to a remote stretch of Vancouver Island’s west coast.
They were almost to their final destination in their aluminum boat when, out of the corner of his eye, Matty saw the brown legs of an animal sticking out of a cave.
A dog. A starving, cold, terrified dog.
A thick storm was coming but they decided to save man’s best friend anyway, their own safety be damned.
According to the Good News Network: The pair’s rescue mission involved a “wetsuit, a surfboard, a lasso, almost being bitten in the face, a reef, big waves, and awesome teamwork.”
Once the creature was safely in their boat, they snuggled her in a bag to keep her warm. Then, once on dry land in Canada again then found her owner.
Also they did not kick her, even lightly, in the ribs.
Saints.
Every Canadian.

One of the best lays I ever had, was when Angela and I both puked from cocaine/vodka at the same time. Once we stopped the room from spinning, we rabbit f’kd for a whole hour. F yeah. I don’t drink, or f Angela any more!!!
I ‘m just glad I made it through the drinking years without dying, man what a dumbshit I was. It was fun tho.
Before I comment any further.
Are they ” Canadians” or “French Canadians”?
Huge difference
Same* Holding liquor sounds like a skinny jeans drinking game. Who the f stands around holding it? Drink it, and then puke it out and make room for more. Does partying not come with instructions any more?
Something something’Dog-eh’ style?
I don’t care for this conversation. Ever had 12 of them show up at your local drinking establishment after deployment?☻
French Canuks, they’ll eat anything !
Theyre worse than asians and I have a Chinese girlfriend !
We should all have Chinese girlfriends!
No one could ever accuse us of racism again!
I’ll accuse you later.
One day, maybe soon…we all will!
haha…maybe they will all have multiple boyfriends, with collars on em.
The poor old owner
Who dumped that dog in the wild
Now hates surfers too
“Ohhhh – you found my dog…. Greeeeaaatttt” he says with slumped, deflated shoulders trying to recall exactly what kind of knot he had used to tie that dog to the tree.

the dog was lucky it wasn’t a seal, canadians love to have a go with the bat.
Looks playful
Where do Canadians place within the Hierarchy of Surfing Saints? Certainly below the Creator of Surf Criticism™ and President of the Fifteen Years Stale Sports Takes For The Modern Surfer Writers’ Association, Sammy…

I’m really digging this revisit to your Saints Period. Perhaps not revisit, but Saints Reconstruct Period. This particular piece has a real Banksy feel to it. Quite the resemblance to his rat.
Is that not a very, very punchable face ?
Farkkkk yeah I know what ya mean that nose would break and cave in really nicely.
Judging on the straightness of his schnozz, looks like he’s avoided the brutality of surfer on surfer violence. He must either a) be a weapon of a fighter, or b) a good dude?
Or c) Neither.
Being the selfish, butt-licking dog she is, the surf dog was heard saying shortly before her rescue, “Look! Matt Johnson on my board!”
Now we know why Matt Johnson ended up on Air Wolf and not The Greatest American Hero. Friend to the canine. Probably half-canine himself.
We’re gonna drown and all they’re gonna find is this shitty old tinny.
Air Bud?

Jan Michael Vincent was awesome on Airwolf. Katt became the Greatest American Hero. Big Wednesday launched those two guys’ TV series careers, and launched Gary Busey face first into a big ol’ bowl o’ blow.
