Where did you surf today ?

[BA]

Surfed burgery DY this arvo. Only 3 out, so that was a positive. Consistent, but onshore. Bluebottles everywhere. Got stung a stack of times and had to come in.

[Drailed]

Tying up and excluding the public from a prime break so some wealthy real estate agent can make his daughter happy sounds...... not amazing.
It sounds fcucking depressing.

Truth bomb!

Why doesn't the silly cnut just giver her the money so she can surf the rest of he life and be done with it.

Ace Buchan just tweeted “ Surfing a wavepool, staying in a casino, and it feels strangely right. Right where I want to be. Thumbs up emoji WSL.”

Maybe give the peyote a rest Ace.

[Thud]

Its embarrassing

The moment Medina was silenced for his rant meant the rest of the lesser lights had to fall in line with the WSL corporate message.

[Drailed]

What was Medina's rant?

[ajohnsen]

Can't the revolution hurry up and arrive so these cnuts can be put against a wall?

Who would the sponsor of the wall be?

From my limited experiences with pro surfing and pro surfers the bubble they inhabit is overwhelming.
It is a mutually reinforcing echo chamber.

And all due respect to our dear Nick but he's been in it for so long now I even fear he loses touch with the great unwashed.

I found a 1981 Tracks today and had a read. Nick wrote a couple thousand words on a pro contest in England.
The tone was so touching and innocent.....37 years ago.
When you've spent your entire professional life in that realm it would be almost impossible not to become one with the prevailing way of thinking.

Surfing was a way to get away from, and thumb your nose at the corporate world, its very antithesis, now, for fcuks sake, it has been subsumed into that corporate world.

Reject that stultifying corporate embrace, rebel NOW while you can still tread the path of freedom.

[Drailed]

Oh that, thought it was about the surf ranch or something.

Strange the WSL silence that kind of stuff, it's what viewers want

Nah, I’m too tired. Freedom’s overrated.

And we all know what happened to him. Sweeping floors at the old Clarkfoam factory.

Well yes, it sure the fcuk is. But not because it's surfing, because it's dull human behaviour.

I dunno man, everyone lives in their own bubbles, you've got yours of which I only ever see the outlines and have little clue of the rest, my own bubble may not be what you think at all, like I still have a lot of friends tangled up in pro surfing but have way more friends outside that scene, in surfing and out of it, so try not to judge that if you can bear it.
