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?

more lumber for the fire
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.

talk is cheap
Fruity, i think you'll find that you see less competent surfers because you, as a booger, are frequenting steeper, heavier spots.fruitbowls wrote:just on that point is it just me or are 90% of surfers like, really shit.

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.

Now go and play on your boogie board.
So your saying you should be able to do this in half an afternoon?
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

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
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.
fu*k you simon mantle your nothing,your just a shoulder riding kook,who hides behind the computer....& everybody dont bother asking were he surf cause he's never going tell us,never has & never will....& learing to surf takes a hour lesson at manly.smnmntl wrote:
