“ha ha I saw that cunt… What a cunt” – Nick Carroll
Hahahahar – you are on the right website !
Step one: Never tell anyone you surf, hide it as best you can because it’s become embarrassing
Step two: If your hand throws permanent Shakas- cut it off. You are not Polynesian and it’s as embarrassing as a white man with tribal tattoos. Don’t be a culture vulture
Step three: If you don’t surf – Don’t start
It’s so fucken crowded as it is
Drink more beer
Smoke more pot
Aaahhhwwwooooooooooo
Okay it exploded – but hell, it’s still pretty cool!
I’m torn, I love George, but fuck that’s an ugly fin!
Syncretism meets cognitive dissonance ?
Chas, please have someone take classes and report back. $100 is a cheap investment considering all the article you should garner from it
Chuck was a hell man!!

The case to quit surfing grows stronger by the day
Nice shout-out to beachgrit on the post #stayblessed
how dare they presume we’re already blessed!
How about the hipster guys who paddle really well, are completely devoid of etiquette and surf like new born giraffes? What’s that about? I confronted a young Barney the other day not about what he was riding, but what he was paddling, I think he caught my drift. I told him he was a good paddler for how bad he surfs.
euro snowboarders
fuck yes! guys paddling really well on alternative surf craft and getting good waves at crowded spots only to kook out once they get to their feet – spins me out.
Crucifixion is too god for them .
right.. it has gotten bad out there. Yesterday mid length fuckers burned me 4 times, as I was coming down the line, as they burned each other. One looked at me before getting up.. “I’m sorry, I am just learning.” as I was telling him to get the fuck out here. People with money suck if you sit back and really look at what is going on around us.
Don’t be sorry ….DONT DO IT AGAIN. This is not the confessional box ? Never forgive , never forget .
There is a German Expression “ Einmal ist Keinmal “ if it only happened once it didn’t happen ….but 4 times Are You Kidding Me .
Offer to meet them in the carpark , run them over four times with your car , and when the police turn up …. offer the excuse
“I’m sorry, I am just learning.”
yeah, no 4 different ones, literally. classic paddle to your own peak, shred a bit and folks flock like seagulls. this working from homes, I need these fuckers to go back to the office.
and that is just what he said.. after running him a bit, I gave him some positives and called him into a closeout, I saw him down the beach a bit later
C’mon.
Just stirring the pot …. Je suis civilisé
Pourquoi les libertés doivent-elles avoir des limites ? … « La liberté consiste à pouvoir faire tout ce qui ne nuit pas à autrui » (article4 de la DDHC de 1789). C’est parce que tout le monde a un droit égal à la liberté que ma liberté est limitée par celle des autres et la leur par la mienne.
I hoping Assembly they pass law, if not French, don’t surf here. Merci.
In that case Brussels , assuming France doesn’t do a Frexit , might allow all citizens of Europe and their partners , me , to surf at a place where I spent 30 years immersed in the cultural and sporting community …. ( not to mention my father’s uncle who was shot , now buried , for eternity under your soil fighting for your nation as an Australian Soldier in September 1918 ) . Merci pour votre compréhension et générosité .
Oui, se disputer sur le localisme est à peu près aussi utile que se disputer sur le surf débutant. Vivre et laisser vivre.
Et voilà ,Ça c’est fait , Bonne Week-end .I was often berated by my French Brothers in the tiny coastal village where I lived for being ,Too Friendly , towards visiting surfers …. Go figure .
Et pour être clair, l’oncle de votre père se battait pour ses maîtres du Commonwealth en Angleterre dans une tentative de les sortir du désastre militaire anglais auto-créé ne combattant pas pour la France. L’Angleterre avait détruit sa propre armée en 1918, puis avait décidé que les armées du Commonwealth seraient les prochaines victimes. Avance rapide de 20 ans et répétition.
Heureusement, les Anglais vont maintenant s’immoler avec le Brexit et finir par devenir un marigot du tiers monde.
The Australians ,sadly were on the Western Front as early as 1916 , fighting against somebody for something in battles in France and Belgium ….. Anyway , I am a firm believer in Reconciliation …My family visits his grave … and I married a German ….. Vive La Paix
Fitness kooks.
In my 45 years of surfing ….Never have I heard anyone admit when questioned , who was riding a board over 7 ft or more , in everyday conditions, that they were doing it to catch more waves .ALL LIARS !
I do it at Noosa to catch every wave,
Joined by a second honest man …… it’s the spark that will light the fire of truth !
I do it to be like laird and take every wave
I dont know Gorilla. Authentic surflivinglessons in Santa Cruz will probably involve meth. That’ll kill you just fine.
You can contract out Surfline Man lessons to them.
