Just general surfing stuff

[BA]

thanks Cranked, I had no idea Braithy was planning a similar deal or I probs would've junked mine.

I actually started writing it in June before Fiji, then binned it.

Christmas Eve I got a debt collectors notice from an parking fine I accrued during the Quik comp and had hoped might disappear.

This precipitated action on the my top 20 and a publisher was found.

I've now paid the debt collector and all is well.

Glad you didn't. Great stuff. Thank god for governments chasing the man for small debts. My taxes at work.

Shearers Longtom? I can't keep up with this shit.

And what's the RS reference Brian?

just some real talk

we’ll cover our genitals in butter and snapchat them to Barack Obama under the title, 'butter covered giblets'.

My mistake. I thought you just spoke like that in all articles and general conversation.

[foamy]

Shearers Longtom? I can't keep up with this shit.

Yes, and qtsg pops in, who is actually godsavethequeen.
And a back and forth qtsq had with mullet indicated that mullet was actually, in real life, el rancho.

I just now assume everyone on realsurf is on there under one secret guise or another.

Is Brutus Maurice Cole on BG?
Cos I've seen MC post under his real name there with genuine MC opinions.

I thought so.

Holy shit, I just get their tweets. I might join. I'll call myself Wristy McBraithwaite.

[godsavetheking]

Yes mullet is our late lamented el rancho. Beachgrit's OK in small doses, particularly if steve's stuff is up there or Derek and Clive are doing better than just phoning it in. Ultimately a bit too seppo for my tastes though

[The Mighty Sunbird]

Not to mention sold out and narcissistic
I most certainly am not on there I like it here with the real people

[Davros]

Dane love.

Why don't we just get Dane, Rasta, Rob Machado, Asher Pacey, Ry Craike and Tom Curren create a surf super league and they can have a Clash of the Titans comp against some of the pros (thinking Kelly, JFF, Kelly, JFF, Kelly, JFF and Kelly)

dane love. i don't even have words.

It was a good read. Tell us when you decide not to pay your phone bill.

[Drailed]

Sorry to piss on the parade but I am not in agreement with the general consensus about either article. Sure you can both put a sentence together but as for subject matter - find something of interest to write about. Complete fluff, a waste of time and energy.

Apart from shearers bit on slater, that was pretty good.

[foamy]

Writing regular columns on a specialist topic is reasonably enjoyable, the difficult thing is thinking of a new topic.
Drailed, I'm sure the lads would welcome some good story ideas.
Can you come up with five that would have a general surfer interest and are not too shopworn?
Note: the travel budget is zero.

[Beanpole]

..quite an entertaining spray.
Hope you got a bit of dosh for it.

[Davros]

"..I could feel the heighten sense of fear in the carpark, the nervous chatter embraced the dawn like a plague of locusts descending on a once fertile land. I suited up and advanced past returning soldiers who'd battled valiantly against a superior enemy. Head bowed in mock prayer I looked up and 2ft wind swept Maroubra greeted me like only a beast could. Unfazed I mounted my steed and galloped into the belly of the beast"

Haven't read Steve's BG yet but am hoping to see Dionysian hand jive at least once in the opus.

[Cranked]

Davros should be editor of BG, he's just outlined their agenda for the first half of the new year.

God knows, someone has to rescue it from its triteness

[steve shearer]

The triteness is the charm.......thats the base level you can hit high or low.

Nice suggestions Dav. My surfwriting worldview is buddhist, in the sense that everything is connected, surfing is just one thing humans do and it contains within it everything human that humans do. Therefore everything is fair game to be discussed, digressed upon and woven in. The mechanical action of surfing is really only of interest to the individual participant, the phenomenology I'm not sure about.........I'd love to get a take on the detailed phenomenology of Beany, or GSTQ.

[crabmeat thompson]

i'm still in utter shock phenomenology is even a word.
