Burger King too.
Surfers in America, though especially California, celebrated National Burrito Day, only a few weeks ago, taking time to pause and appreciate a favorite post session bite. From the breakfast varietal to standard carne asada, the burrito has long held a very top spot in the California surfer heart bested only, and sometimes, by In-N-Out hamburgers.
Yes, the iconic chain, with its instantly red, white and yellow motif, crossed palm trees and friendly high school employees dressed like WWII nurses is essential and great. Whether the California surfer orders from the normal menu, standard singles/doubles with/out cheese, or goes off piste, mustard grilled and chopped chilis, say, or Animal Style, he or she is never unsatisfied.
Quality that can be tasted.
The shock this morning understood, then, when In-N-Out was trounced in national rankings by both Five Guys and Burger King. The YouGov study found that 15.5% went for Five Guys, 15% Burger King and merely 12.1% In-N-Out.
Wendy’s and McDonalds rounded out the top five.
Five Guys is dumb, expensive and not nearly as tasty as In-N-Out.
Burger King is for the criminally insane.
In-N-Out is superior in both taste and value and it is almost unbelievable that it came in third.
California surfers, anyhow, paddling out with heavy hearts today.
Sad lineups.

mate we got barrels down here……everywhere…..but depending on how big ya want to go…..slabs and reefs…from 6-30’+……we just don’t publish a lot!
Start selling EV’s and solar panels?
Not wanting to go somewhere based on the dark politics and history takes alot of places off the list.
The sad thing is they completely politicized the flag. I used to see one and think nothing of it/be proud of it and now I think look at that maga fuck. The worst are the ones on the big ugly lifted trucks with one on each side next to the oversized vertical smoke stack exhaust pipe burning a gallon of gas every 5 miles while probably making minimum wage and having a $1o00 car payment.
Its how they keep you working for the man here. All by design.
Yep fly them loud and proud.
America, where our roads are wide open and our rest stops are heated in the winter and air conditioned in the summer.
Glorious is the privilege of sanitation. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Sounds like you went to Torquay?
North Straddie last year with a drive down and around to Lennox.

and a wedding in Warrnambool that was basically a surf trip.
Do like your small towns on the East coast. Spent a bit of time in some of them when I lived over there and van lifed for about 4 months before we made our way down to Melbourne.
*did a Goldy trip too, stayed at Snapper but that was more theme parks with the family. Couple of Sydney missions in the Mix too but didn’t even take boards.
Warrnambool! Almost Dogsnuts territory!
Xox
Just don’t mention Blacknose. 🤫
Ha ha….story in 68 the Warrnambool board riders went to Portland/Crumpets for a club contest……on the way there you could see the nose firing…so about 10 cars pulled up there and we had a comp…they threw the juniors in first,I jumped off the rocks, caught a wave and rode it all the way down to wattles…then didn’t know how to get back to the point so found the track….running back to the point as you had to catch 3 waves in a heat…a wallaby jumps out of the bushes…I shit myself and dived into the bushes….got back to the point and lo and behold the other juniors in my heat jumped off behind me, and ….knocked their fins out…..what a day of surfing…..new spot, which was the start of …..” hmm I wonder whats around the next point???
I’ve only surfed it really good once, but was very happily surprised at the quality of it. Was a bit more crowded than 68!!
my surf journey began there in 66….
Dominating the Flume no doubt haha!
Xox
damn I came from Warrnambool…started surfing there in 66 ….no wetsuits…brrrrr
Some of the best barrel sessions of my life. Reef like sandbars. Also did plenty of driving and not scoring said barrels! Had mates in the Otways as a base for missions
Started there. And yeah exactly, too many Kiwis.
Melbourne.
jeezuz. what on earth for?
I loved it. Good coin, gigs & people. When I went for waves, it was 4wd access, camping and empty barrels.
worst shitehole in Aus, IMO.
You lived in Gympie or Bundaberg? and wear blue camo. So no tastemaker. IMO
Ok that’s enough..it’s cold here, no surf,women are really obese/Melbourne is a cultural backwater…..LOL!!
Guess I’m comparing it to here which is sweet fuck all up and waving, but lived in Oz for 5 years and been back on 5 or 6 surf missions since and saw enough to remember.
very, very rare here – might find a pensioner flying one- I’d give you a six pack if we drove around here for an entire day and you saw 5 between Goldy and Ballina.
I would be proud to fly our flag.
But I need to proud of it first, with all shenanigans that go on
Shame, Shame, Shame
Most flags around here are the top three, and not even Australian
nobody cares
Good on em, It is just a flag for fucks sake
Good to hear. I fucking hate flags with a passion.
they don’t bother me- I’m neither for nor against.
Every atrocity has a flag.
maybe, humans slaughtering each other since before then mate.
remember the famous scene from 2001 a Space Odyssey ?
shittttt, I literally just finished watched the sequel 2010.
He did it because people forced his hand as they have the evidence of him doing crook shit. The world is a honey trap.
Xox
HANDs IN THE AIR Dognuts!
They are NOT STUCK, STickem up., HANDs IN THE AIR NOW
“My fingers are stuck”
Ohh fuck
Still searching for my man clit.
Xox
A lot of flags in front yards in Australia also.
Yeah, I haven’t seen any in years. I rarely leave this lil Bondi bubb howevs.
Guess the Australia Day that went wrong would’ve had an effect on being loud and proud with the flag waving.
Yep, closeted pride flag now.
Xox
Bullshit, not even 30 years ago, when you did see one it looked weird
It’s just lacking the ability to admit fault really, what would it take sometimes I wonder, for Donny to shart himself on telly again and clean his bumhole with their hallowed flag?
Xox
Lots of great spots on the planet, Godspeed
Wonder how close we are getting to feudalism.
Vote for me for President of Planet Earth.
Free Bacon and Egg Rolls!
Well that wipes out a lot of the planet for your vote mate
The destruction of home ownership rates plus the subscription economy = Neofeudalism.
You’ll watch your subscribed Netflix in your rental apartment. Soon enough most people will have vehicular transport subscription services to replace individual car ownership. Climate change scam was brought into being to usher in the shame and guilt and financially prohibitive price structures to coerce us and make society relinquish the notion of private property……for the plebs, anyway.
You will own nothing and you’ll be happy.
At least that’s the plan. Whether it succeeds or not is another thing. I reckon most are by now seeing through the climate change rubbish to one degree or another. You can only claim the oceans are going to drown us all for so long.
What do you think?
There are famous sand banks in the phillipines that tourists go to, still there after all these years

I guess people are just too emotionally invested to realize they been played
Climate change, covid, russia collusion, muppets believe anything theyre told.
dear Captain Muppet…..there is no …Climate change/covid was not real/russian collusion LOL /epstein files exonerate all rich elites…..ah the joy of being a muppet!!
Youve gone too far now to ever come back
I think the serfs were taxed less than the ol PAYG chump these says. Ten, maybe twenty percent of the crop to their master.
have to admit though, ATO very pleasant to deal with.
In Australia, voting is compulsory. It is not really asking much. A true Democracy.
How many of you Americans actually voted for this? I would much prefer In and Out over McDonalds.
Your president repeatedly hawking McDonalds while trying to sell Teslas on the Whitehouse Lawn before the East Wing got demolished.
And those that did, couldn’t you have just remained being the GOOD leader of the PLANET? Did you vote for what is going on right now?
$25 fine if you don’t care to vote, which is enough to get cunts to tick a few boxes…
Which is better spent elsewhere, because when you vote, you get either Bacon and Egg rolls, Or a Sausage Sizzle, for cheap.
And it helps the local fundraisers.
And it cuts out all the other “I didn’t vote” cunts
And what about our cunty Brazzo saltwater cowboys Chas. Bit of a breakdown on Giraffas. Pests have gotta eat to.
A good way to HALT immigration would be a mandatory stay in Alice springs for 6 months.
“It is not even as bad as they say” says survivor Brian, while getting his stab wounds dressed after 2 weeks into his 6 month stint.
“I am getting heaps fitter, I run a lot now. The car got stolen and burnt out on the second night. So I got a push bike for the next day and blinked, and dunno what even happened to that. Now I mostly just Run. No walking I just RUN and once the adrenaline kicks in, I get a good workout and have lost heaps of weight”
I am joking. It is not that bad.
The prices of EVERYTHING is more dangerous
why do we need to halt immigration again?
everywhere else but there – no one place can get it all though.
A short list of USA places to visit bf you croak, not necessarily bc I’m in love with them all but if you hit them you’ll have a decent feel, for better or worse: Jupiter, Cocoa, Daytona, St Augustine, Sanibel, Pensacola, Charleston, Hatteras, Asheville, Rhode Island, Boston, Stowe, coastal Maine, Nashville, Atlanta, Lexington, Austin, San Antonio, New Orleans, Oxford, Charlottesville, Bentonville, Branson, Chicago, Racine, any mountain town in CO, Montana, Utah, Tucson, the black hills, Vegas, SB, San Francisco (parts of it at least), Portland, Seattle.
Get a baseball game at Fenway, a b-ball game at MSG, and an NFL game at Arrowhead or Lambeau. Go for a college football weekend to any SEC school. Catch a college lax game in Cville. Watch some college basketball at Cameron or Phog Allen.
Paddle out wherever you can along the way, and fwiw Waco is pretty close to Austin. If you have to pick one spot on the east coast, Hatteras is the call, although given the right conditions there are 10 spots between Cocoa and Miami that will tickle your fancy.
America and its diverse landscapes and it’s amazing people are awesome.
You are (were) always Aussies Big Brother.
There is good and bad, in everything and everywhere.
Most of the world is just seeing the BAD right now.
Is Trump and his disgusting crew, seriously the best you could come up with out of 300 Million?
Just screenshot that list. Cheers
