No , youre embarrassing urself by being a childish pest .
Instead of being such a gutsy, blokey, hairy chested-hero by ruining well meaning threads and damaging the appeal of the this forum and the work of
the people who run this site, why not go for a surf and consider what real men do to
add something to the world rather than piss on it from a keyboard.
"I often wonder how people spread hate through a supposed loving ideology"- Quote from- DEESEE .
Sorry, i'll be serious. But a person called Zippy Da Pinhead preaching maturity confuses me. Also, that quote re love / hate / ideology was backed up by an Irony poster (KKK member BBQ'd whilst burning a cross - did you laugh at that?)
Bodyboarding - A Sport With A Bright Future. A Social Commentary By Deesee.
When i think of progression in surfcraft riding, one thing instantly comes to my mind - bodyboarding. It's so much more versatile then a surfboard. You can lie on it as well as "drop knee" - and we all know how cool that looks. When you drive your 5 mates to the beach, all the boards will fit in the boot (Toyota Echo), no need for roof racks. It's easier to catch the train or bus to the beach as well, and because they're lighter, it's easier for 12 y.o. girls to carry them. Body boarding is such a rad family sport! Taking up a sport where your equipment is designed for you to lie down instead of stand up show's all you board riders how progressive it must be! Plus when you surfboard, how many leash options do you get? 1 - leg rope. We'll, bodyboarding will show you how it's done. Hmm, Noreast swell, low tide - conditions are perfect for a bicep leash. Take that surfers!!!
Is that better?
Revo - Do you have video footage of O'brien? Post a link. Listen, if you love doing it, that's cool, everyone's different. I spent an afternoon watching the 2004 Shark Island Challenge, and i'll admit it was f#cken awesome. The Island really put on a show and every now and then the local stand ups were rushing the bombs whilst the comp was on (the organiser didn't mind i guess??).
Body boarding has it's time, place and appeal in certain conditons. I like shortboards, but hey, who am i to comment..
