Another “injured” Wright
Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.

Haven't heard zip about Bonga in years.

Not bad waves in Taiwan. Harrison Roach giving it heaps. Not enough though.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
Note a big lad won the long boarding comp. it’s pretty clear long boarding is the pragmatic choice for the person over 90 kilos

Its pretty clear long boarding shouldn't be done by anyone.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
Now, now. The ability to use a bit of grunt appeared necessary in those windy conditions. Half the competitors were getting blown off the waves.

Imagine a world where shortboards never existed. An alternative universe where the Germans had won WWI and WWII, people like Donald Trump never existed and only Longboarding was allowed in German built wave pools in land locked environments away from the ocean. Three fins were seen as a direct insult to the ethos of wave pool longboarding and those who dared attempt surf these incarnations in the ocean where beheaded in town squares below Hitlers gaze. Who would have the courage surf these 3 fuin monstrosities. Who? (or is it whom?)
Meanwhile in real town 2043. The oceans are polluted and wave pools are the only outlet for surfers but because demand is now so high only the mega rich can afford to surf in wave pools.Short boarding is banned because the nouveau rich can’t stand up on anything shorter than 12ft. Occasionally there will be special shows with circus trained short boarders performing in front of hand picked bourgeoisie. They clap softly with an impatient gaze restless that the longboarding show is over 20 minutes away.

To note men and women’s events were won on single fins. Might just be long boarders aren’t trying to ride longboards like short boards. Sort of makes sense.

Style over substance. In the world of throwback boards with modern contours it’s interesting to observe style. The older you get there seems to be a yearning for flow, smooth lines, meandering. Not just surfing, pretty much everything,
Shortboard surfing is rude, abrupt and a bit of punch in the face.
I like to look at both, do both. The thing that kills me about shortboard surfing is the stance. Pros and very good shortboarders
are coiled like tight springs, they let go, BAM!!, then assume the position, BAM!! It’s incredibly athletic. For most though we look all hunched over, knees half bent and flailing along like a drunk simian man. It’s shit.
I’ve been watching some older surfing on longer shortboards and it just looks nice, real nice. But I’m old.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Agreed Thud.
For me it's always been about the flow.
To me short boarders are more like gymnasts. As you say, incredibly athletic.
But then, I'm REALLY old.
