Brazilian surfers

[kreepykrawly]

By “group” I mean Brazilian “surfers” and not Brazilians as a whole.

I have been to Brazil few times and am planning to go back again soon.
I like them….. A tough, tenacious and friendly race of people. Shit my favorite board ever was an Eduardo Braga.

I’m also gonna see a whole bunch of em tonight and “try” to either arm bar em or restrict the blood flow to their brains.

I just love of them on land it’s just that when their brains touch salt water something happens to them(particularly if they’re surfing in a group) that I just can’t explain.
Something like when I drink OP rum and swallow unknown tablets from a strangers cabinet.

Back to surfing…
You need to understand, however, that if you have experienced on numerous occasions first hand the actions of a particular group of people then you should also be able to understand the difficulties one might develop in changing ones perceptions relating to that group.

Bit dissapointed too in NC's analysis. Do you reckon that even in the "aggronaut" late 70s early 80s Aussies were as bad as many Brazillian surfers? I remember a Tracks maybe yarn of the time when some young Aussie pros went to California I think and boasted of how they would paddle straight to the inside of any break they visited and dominate it. They wer boasting of pising off the locals and lughing at em.
Difference with many (not all, but many is the right amount) of zillas now is that they can be very very average surfers and still act badly in the water.
Here just two examples from past few years from one beach, actually one spot:
#Point is 4 to 5 and barrelling through suck up. Local, or at least bloody good surfer, takes air drop, into barrel; seriously great surfing. Some hoots from crowd. You could see barrelman, a solid fit older fella, deep in the tube. Zilla all of 18 looks straight into barrel, sees rider, takes off anyway and totally shuts down this fella who then enjoys up and over wipe which made mny wince.
#Point again; last late summer. Magical glass all day. Freak 6-8 plus but it's a weekend. Point would have 40-50 plus. Paddle out just to watch the freak show. Despite the numbers the place wasn't actually that disfunctional with few drop ins and not much tension. Two Zilla chicks, one on board one on foam tampon, both not unlike the chick in the pic earlier in thread; blonde hotties, paddle out. Very good looking humans, til they opened their mouths. My God what a trully horrible animal scream (ever heard a pig being slaughtered) both would emit as they paddled for anything among the pack. I swear I saw granmas having a paddle in the rock pool look over in fear! Every time they took off, in frornt of someone, and they did a lot, it was as if someone was playing the soundtrack to the world's most evil violent porno complete with swearing in both english and portugese. Lovely manners, charming .
Like others have said it's pure crap that those who tavel here have had a hellish, tough dog eat dog life. Those who are here are generally fromn very weathly, or at least omfortably middle class families. And midle class comfortable in Brazil can mean servants, gardeners, drivers, private schools etc.
What you are seeing here is the arrogance and selfishness of the relatively rich in a poor nation.
Other side: mate took in four zilla students to help the mortgage. Each a very nice, humble, human. None of em surfed.

Yeah and I wonder who the f**k that was

Look I know it's not the whole story, but it's an interesting part: Australians resent Brazilians the way Californians resented Australians.

The bigger difference is that Aussies by and large couldn't be f**ked visiting California...while Brazilians just LOVE Australia.

btw forget that whole favela thing as a motive, people in favelas stay in favelas, they don't buy round-the-world air tickets. And not all Brazilians are martial arts experts for god's sake.

Yes thats all well and good. But do they all hit on c'ress?

By default and with no female respondents:

"her bum might look big in that".

Brazilians can be f**ked in the surf but then again so can a lot of other nationalities.

When I was in the mentawaiis last year a boat load of Americans were the worst snakes at thunders. They assumed a local attitude because they had been there two days. The American guys on our boat were embarrassed to be from the same country.

Then at Macaronis an Australian guy who surfed well decided that he had a mortgage on the inside and would merrily paddle inside everyone whilst yelling in strine to his mates. It was my turn to be embarrassed to live in Australia.

I've also witnessed Portuguese boogie boarders punching travellers over 1 foot slop, heard of mates having their hire cars robbed virtually in front of them in the Canaries and heard tales of hawaiians trying to heavy mates at cloud break.

The conclusion's that I draw from these experiences - people who surf can be dicks and surfing with people can be an unpleasant experience.

The solution - either give up surfing, become a thick skinned arrogant f**ker with a craving for the biff or move to Invercargill in NZ to surf empty freezing waves and avoid all human contact.

Maybe rising oil prices will soon make travel impossible for the majority of us which will stop the scourge of travellers.....

[pinhead]

Ha! typical Aussies, always making generalisations about other nationalities

[wanto]

good one

good one

Hey Wanto
When you stop laughing like Lurch (from the Adams family) at Pinheads really really really funny comment you will realize that what he said was a complete “generalization”.

Australia is a multi cultural society.
Do Australians of Greek and Asian decent generalize about other races? Do people from Italian and Serbian decent generalize about other races? Do people from German and Dutch decent generalize about other races? Does Coops, NC and 2ndReefer generalize about other races?

Humanity generalizes “naturally”. It’s an innate characteristic limited to our species only. It filters into our psyche through experiences.

“Experience” mobilizes our thought processes in such a way as to develop certain ideas about the way certain races behave.

Even the self righteous ones secretly have strong views in the privacy of their own homes. They’re just too busy being politically correct to express themselves the way they would like.

Anyway it’s just an idea…I could be wrong. :?

kk

P.S Personally such “generalizations” do not dominate my thought processes …all I really care about is when the next big swell will arrive.

[wanto]

holy shit kk, that was the whole point of the joke you spaz ... thought you were smarter than that. x 2
