[QUOTE=travy;122879]surfing itself will be the summer fad of '12 based on the crowds i'm already seeing. lots of new faces and boards already and the water is still in the 40's up here. prepare for the swarm!
+1. I feel like its the ripple effects of Quik Pro last year. Combined with above average warm air & water this winter.

I've been seeing an increase in new guys over the last couple years. With all the fashion trends and soul surfer movies this will be the year the **** hits the fan. I'm taking a no tolerance stand this year. Sure we were all new a some point but I gave the respect and didnt act like a board under my arm was the key to the cool club.
Just wait until it's cool to bring your entire high school graduating class to the line-up, then we'll be begging to bring it back to early 2000's Blue Crush levels
i like marinelayerproductions. for better or worse, dane is entertaining. here's one for your list though:

i remember even 3 years ago being with one other guy on a shoulder high barreling sunny day! i see more and more people every swell. the worst is that they act like locals. HA! this summer is gonna be the worst crowd wise. good time to take up night surfing
you want a good blog? followthefish.tv paul fisher is absolutely hilarious. he doesn't even post that much surfing. it's the fishing trips that are hilarious
actually they have a start/stop wristband that you can wirelessly controll the cam withhey just wanted to see if my avatar works. go pros are cool, i feel like they are completely under-utilized. now if they made a go pro remote control (to start stop recording) or made more creative mounts for them.. im not crazy about the wrist strap mount that ive seen
wrong avatar picture!!
and to everyone dont hate me because of my gopro aquired avatar hahah
thats the gayest thing ive ever heard…so wearing stupid colors and writing stupid **** on your board makes you look cool??? i rather let my surfing do the talking
I never said made you look cool. It just adds a nice requested style. You can complain all you want, but people will still be in colored wetsuits, people will still have artwork on their board, and people will still rock gopro's. It's how it is.
the 80s were huge on color for boards, wetsuits, everything, then there was a rebellion in the 90s where everything went back to basics with clear boards and black suits. that will happen again.
My experience with go pros is that they are mostly used by wannabes. people with skill have somebody else filming them and dont need to self promote.
