Margarine, jesus wept

I'm not dead yet by the way. Must have dodged a bullet. Feel bad for Pierre Agnes, that guy was good value.

Can you unpack that a bit, if it isn't too soon?
Every comment I've read talks about what a fcuking good guy he was. Nothing disparaging, just how much he helped and mentored people.
A little unusual for a CEO of a large corp.

Pierre only took on the CEO role after a couple of other guys had made mincemeat of it. It was a real hospital pass. He took it because he felt it was the right thing to do, he'd had a great life with Quik and was part of the undeniable family atmosphere that helped the company grow in its earlier days. He was a hard headed person and not everyone got along with him, but he was totally honourable and looked after everyone on his watch. Really loved to surf and fish.

Nick you answered the most common questions, but what was the best question you've been asked about the surf ranch?

Roughly 5 minutes between waves does my head in. That kills almost all commercial applications.

The analogy of visiting a hooker seem rather apt.

It's totally not. Strangely enough, women are human beings, but waves are not.

Nobody's asked me a really great question about it yet. I think because it's all so new to us, everyone just wants to know basic stuff.

And yeah, this isn't a Retail Surf Experience at all. I'm sure they'll step up the interval a bit over time with re-designs etc, but the pay per wave thing is not the game with this pool at all, never was. I think pay per wave is a silly idea really, just nowhere near enough custom. Selling yearly memberships to well-off Americans with a guaranteed number of days, discounts on Slater boards, etc, as part of a business plan that included CTs, accommodation franchises, pool sales etc, you can see that working for a while.

I bet nobody outside RS asked Nick if he went wee-wees in the pool.

he should also invest in space travel (or tourism) with that virgin guy. and be the first actual real silver surfer. what else does he have to aim for he's done it all on earth already.

The stab boys schooled the beach grit boys at Kelly's wave. Nice to see them have a win.
