just on that point is it just me or are 90% of surfers like, really shit.

i have respect for surfers who rip, but in comparison to boogers, that odd few are sooo outnumbered.

I dunno, maybe all the kooks and spastic surfers seem to gravitate together. There'll be a few reading this post, so tell me, where the fuck are the good ones?

I'd show him by doing a cuttie in his face.

whether is stand-ups or boogers, the kooks outnumber the rippers by a mile.
hell im a kook...

Here's an interesting interview with Kainoa McGee in regards to the lid/standup debate. http://www.ibatour.com/pages/?pageID=912&wordsID=1729

I don't get what the big fuss is all about? Think for yourself and ride what you like. I wish people in this forum ignored the constant lid bashing, it's obvious the initiators of the insults haven't a clue so leave it at that and ignore them.

Fruity, i think you'll find that you see less competent surfers because you, as a booger, are frequenting steeper, heavier spots.

This doesnt by any means indicate that boogers are therefore more competent. You're just looking in the wrong environment to find surfers. Only in recent years has surfboard riding taken to slabs like 'Theirs', Cyclops and the like, while historically, bodyboarders have been seeking these waves much longer. It depends what characteristics in a wave tickle your fancy - despite the fact that surf comps are often held in small onshore beachie mush, there is still an amazing amount of skill in launching and tearing apart these waves given the conditions. You just fail to recognise this.

Yeah there's plenty of kook surfers around, but there's also plenty of kook lidlets around. A big difference is that general surf media says good waves are hollow and perfect, while boog media says top waves are sketchy, thick and imperfect. Let's just say there's plenty of kooks, theyre just scattered in different places.

it so pathetic that saying "here we go again" in regards to a bb vs stick debate sounds like a stupidly overused cliche in these forums.

anyway here we go again.

Hey, shit-for-brains, here's an idea: learning to rip on a shortboard takes years. Learning to rip on a sponge takes half an afternoon.

Now go and play on your boogie board.

So your saying you should be able to do this in half an afternoon?

[Longygrom]

That is similar to my point of view...ride the right boards for the given conditions

[jamezo]

smnmntl. u are a looser most of your comments have been posted in boogers only. u kook.

[Carbon]

yeah sml is a fukwit

one question for him.. where do you surf?

I'd rather be in a deep pit on a lid then carving mush on a stick

the idea of bodyboarders are brought down by the amount of kooks in sydney, alot of the waves arent worth lidding on

[huz]

i only surf my stick in only shit weak messy conditions. In good conditions i boog

[Mattyj6522]

I'm a former booger i guess you'd say, haven't been out there for a boog for 8 months or so, been giving the standup a go. The reason you see so many "kooky" surfers is that surfing is a f*%k load harder than bodyboarding. So why do so many people do it as opposed to boogering? Challenge? To fit in with the crowd? Or maybe its that feeling that you get when you come out of a hollow slab standing on your feet. Its indiscribable and uncomparable. I've got nothing against bodyboarding, just when people bad mouth either craft, whether its directly or indirectly as in this thread

[pegs]

just a wee idea but has anyone put a bb vs standup post in the say, the shortboarders forum? interesting to see why they think bboarders are shit or watever. jsut good to see both sides. personally i agree with ride watever craft is best for the conditions. i love my long board in the summer and my fush but i would eat shit in the heavy stuff with out my boog. just my 2 cents.
