I think I may be a latte sipping blow in.

Although I actually prefer double choc skinny mochaccinos.

With a caramel squeeze.

this forum has posted so many threads lately trying to define who and what is the true surfer.

does he ride a long board, does he drive a bmw, does he drink latte, does he turn up before 730 or after 730, does he surf only in summer, only on saturday mid morning, does he ride a mctavish, can he noseride, is it a log or a performance longboard, is it a shortboarder riding a longboard, is he really a longboarder if he doesnt walk the plank, does he wear pink shirts, is he in touch with his femanine side, does he wear a suit to work, is he brazillian ?

my point is

who f&%king cares ?

we dont need to justify ourselves.

we all surf, thats our common ground.

and no, i dont own a pink shirt (or a trans am, but i wish i did !)

see you in the water people

Couldn't have said it better meself...

Cisco-Kid - as we know there are no blow-ins at NS before 7:30am - and certainly no latte's sipped before 8am. The hot chocolate must go down particularly well when you bring out that old 70's 5 7"single fin.

i have a mate who lives up at burleigh & anytime i've gone up to visit & done the surf check for the early...

there's a crew of old blokes that gather at currumbin alley BEFORE the sun comes up & already sipping away at those coffees...

no chance of getting in the water before the coffee goes down...!!

City folks got no imagination.

Put the billy on, have a shit, bung a tea bag, hot water and milk in the travelling mug (i.e. cup not driver), chuck surfing kit in the back of the ute, sip while your waking up on the ten minute drive to the beach and finish while you're checking where you're hopefully gunna surf. Only works with tea though (liptons or bushells optional). Have a slash and hit it. Life is good.

I know them fellas from a past life, and there's a hot water service across the road from the Alley car park for their cuppas. What a crack up.

i work an 8-4 job, dont make alot of money but enough to rent near the beach and i still manage to surf most days... aslong as theres swell, but one things for sure you would never see me sipping lattes at coffe shops instead of being in the water, or drinkin beers at the arms or another local rsl wit the spare time i have up my sleave.

I fargin lurve this thread......

Good call on Lazza there. I have nothing against Lazza. Just a funny good call. Always preferred Matlock to Division 4, though.

I have a confession to make...I'm a latte sipping blow in. I fit all the criteria. I have a job and I wear a suit. I drive a (25 year old) European car. I like coffee. Oh my god.

I feel so embarrassed as I wander past the pack of self declared "locals" who won't be surfing in another 5 years to go for a surf. I feel an overwhelming compulsion to chuck in my job, get rid of the car such is my revulsion at my pitiable state.

This talk about "real" surfers is pretty, well, pathetic.

I disagree with everyone. I live 50m from the sand and surf all different times at DY beach, have been in Aus for 10 years, DY for 7 years.

According to locals, with my Canadian accent, I am forever blow-in - at least that's what the guy who wanted to beat up guys at my breakfast table said. . .

you have a good point there Balloons...

i've been up the coast for 12 years & i'm still a blow-in "from sydney"...

but it's funny up here... for the over 35 age bracket, it's the same few faces in the water all the time...

where are some of the real "locals" when the Haven gets around 10foot, or avoca gets above 6foot, or when it's raining & cold, or when the breeze is up, or out of holiday season, or when the tide is not quite right ?

they are watching from the carpark with a coffee in hand...

A man with a thermos at the beach . Obviously a surfer and a local one too But does he use tomato or bbq sauce on his sausage sanger

[Beanpole]

Maybe one of the surf companies will see an opportunity with this. Surf thermoses with Core, locals only, only a tea drinker knows the feeling printed all over it
Sponsorship deals with International Roast, Nescafe and Bushells.
Ads with knarly locals going "tea, milk, with two sugars-because I live here."
"Where can I get a decent cup of coffee around here?"
"Dunno, I'm a local."
Does this thread have something to do with the increase in coffee shops around Nth Steine?

[smw1]

There are so many rules in surfing nowadays.

Could someone confirm whether it is ok to drink flat whites?

Surely they've been around since long before trendy coffee shops and trendy frothed milk.

I don't think I'll sleep properly until someone can clear this up.
