"We need more fine young men like Warren..."
The Mel Gibson classic Braveheart is nearly 30 years old, if you can believe. Proof that time flies when you are having fun. The film is filled with memorable scenes and lines though none more so than Patrick McGoohan’s Longshanks wherein he sneered “the trouble with Scotland is that it’s full of Scots” to a young Sophie Marceau, who was playing Princess Isabella of France.
Surfers, the world over, resonating with the sentiment, each knowing that, like Scotland and its Scots, the trouble with surfing is that it’s full of surfers.
Ick.
You can then understand the surf world rallying around mountain biker Warren Kniss after the release of his edit titled “I don’t surf.” The 23-year-old, who calls Santa Cruz home, is considered to be the “most stylish mountain biker in town.”
That town, as you know, filled with surfers, not needing nor wanting another.
Kniss also works a full-time job, unlike professional surfers, goes to college, also unlike professional surfers, and sponsored by Yeti, like John John Florence.
Surfers, everywhere, applauding, begging for more brave hearts like Kniss, hoping some currently in the lineup might be inspired enough to join the call.
“I don’t surf.”
Not the same Yeti! Bro does not ride a coffee mug.
well I dont either, do a me article…
Mountain biking is really good fun! The end.
Pretty easy on the environment compared to many other past times , as well.
Somehow the title misses the mark, mainly because his name isn’t Charlie.
Bro it’s way to soon… ohh you mean the famous scene in Apocalypse Now. Silly me.
DR and Chas (neither from Santa Cruz), “I don’t surf journalism.”
That would certainly be a “brave admission” (and a truthful one).
