i dont bother much because im so sick of "loggers" saying how good it is to do cheater fives on boards to big to handle and saying how good it is having no legrope and then making a nuisance of them selves running over kids and losing there boards through the line up.

We need a new forum for seventies revival individuals. We can call it the "We are all alternative individuals" forum and talk about how ground breaking we are by dragging dads old single fin out of the garage and growing a goatie :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't even own a mal/longboard/whatever you want to call it. I do, however, surf "alternative" boards, and have done so for around 8 years.

There's only so much you can say about surfing on a regular basis before you start saying the same thing again. I suspect that's why forums go through ebbs and flows...previously prolific and interesting posters have nothing new to say, get bored, and go surfing rather than talking about surfing...there's no implicit criticism in talking about surfing there btw; this is an internet forum which by its nature involves discussion about surfing.

I reckon though this forum should be "Mals, kneelos, fisherers, egg riders and other retro watercraft."
