Well that puts me out of contention, not that I ever was, mind youNick Carroll wrote:Well if you don't mind me suggesting, I think it is really more about how hard core we come across here on RS.Cranked wrote:What criteria are we using?
It can have fcuk all to do with how good you are. Like who knows what really goes on? All we have to go on is the claiming, the surf checks, the stance one takes in the great wave height call dispute and other core moral questions, the board talk, the willingness to leap in with advice on any surf related matter, the mastery of surf talk in general...the vibe, if I may be so bold.
After at least 30 years riding only pupe I got my first Surftech, and have preferred them ever since (15 odd years). I usually have one or two pupe boards at any given time, but don't like the way they ride and paddle, so they don't stay in my quiver for very long.Nick Carroll wrote:Like shearer says Asian pop-outs are surely a difficult proposition - unless you can mount a very very hard core case for your behaviour
Cranky definitely has done that.....for tuflites anyway.Nick Carroll wrote:Well if you don't mind me suggesting, I think it is really more about how hard core we come across here on RS.Cranked wrote:What criteria are we using?

Nick, on reading this I experienced a vague disquiet that took some time to blossom fully into dismay.Nick Carroll wrote:Well if you don't mind me suggesting, I think it is really more about how hard core we come across here on RS.Cranked wrote:What criteria are we using?

Rasta > Asher x infinity

You know every time someone bags Asher, El Rancho's beard gets a little bit less magnificent.
I gambol giddily to the beach barefooted Nick. That's pretty core huh? In the same shorts I've worn since Ala Moana captivated us surfies of old... i choose my stick thoughfully mostly, from a smorgasboard of equipment. But sometimes I just grab the first piece that speaks to me...to test my boandaries, to challenge my comfort zone.Nick Carroll wrote:Well if you don't mind me suggesting, I think it is really more about how hard core we come across here on RS.Cranked wrote:What criteria are we using?

More or less. I think its such a touchy subject that probably the best score you can hope for is a zero, getting minus points would be really easy thoughsteve shearer wrote:I'm confused, I thought Carroll was positing claiming as a virtue to score points, are you seeing it as a vice Cranked?
I was seeing it as very much a plus. But the big points come from the disguised claim - the verbal version of Lopez's nose-wipe tube exit claim.steve shearer wrote:I'm confused, I thought Carroll was positing claiming as a virtue to score points, are you seeing it as a vice Cranked?
