bah, they've been ratbags for years - nothing new. most of the ratbags don't have the patience for developing surf competence. some of the kids are or are growing into stand up characters, it's good to see. others are total shits, but for the most part are too weak to really be a problem. just petty...

watched a vid with a section of dion aguis the other day, i watched it twice to be sure: the guy can't turn any better than your average boardrider. dead set, if you took all the airs out of his section it would be like watching omp on his foamy at box beach. the section was boring as bat shit as a ...
