it's obviously a pisstake, read the link that the article that the site provides when it says "this isnt the first time kincaid has attracted media attention...."

Now, I'm pretty gullible but how anyone could read that and think it's true is beyond me

Not passing judgement. I have no idea if it's true or not BUT - why would anyone bother running it on ASL as a hoax?

Now here I was thinking that all the Realsurfers were an intelligent bunch!
All of the Goldmine blogs are done by Graeme, the "creative" director at ASL.

He is the guy behind Hitlers Surf Trip ruined. Apparently that's all true too..

it's called Viral marketing Trev...some goose posts up the link and if enough Sheep follow the herd they get traffic to their site.
it's a money maker.....thats all.
I actually prefer cold calling from an Indian mobile phone salesman.

Yep. I understand about viral marketing but I don't understand why ASL would allow it to continue.
Although I must admit I only followed the link the once and I don't wander around the ASL site very often so they may well have it under control by now. (or not).
Maybe they're happy just to have people visiting their site.

My God.

Has anyone heard of Satire.

Visited The Onion ever? Try it. http://www.theonion.com

It's just me and Murdoch -- mostly Murdoch -- fooling around. It isn't serious nor is it trolling for bloody money. Don't read it if you're worried by it.

Got to admit that Hutler surfing vid is the funniest thing I have seen in ages.

Watched it more than once and still laugh and sent the link to my mates.

They should post more stuff like that!

Peely is only capable of unintentional satire.

The Goldmine is a classic....i reckon i know both the "local man" and the "waterman".. especially considering how homogenised surfing and the industry has become over the last 20 years.
