Surfing As You Once Knew It Is Doomed

Miki Dora said the same thing for different reasons eons ago
if it gets more milfs out and about, Im all for it, so long as I can burn them

 

Yeah...I didn't really see much that was new in that video. Wherever there's a "cool" lifestyle there someone who wants to sell it.

 

I saw that shark tank...and yeah, I couldn't believe mark cuban was all in. Of course it's gonna be good for fitness and even maybe help balance, but it's not necessarily going to make it's users run to the beach with their new SUPs. This exercise program didn't invent kooks. The only thing that makes a kookfest is (over)population that's uncoordinated and has money to burn

 

unfortunately you are right, they will not know why the hairy guy is angry

and self stated son of Dora? I dont recall even mentioning him until this appropriate post, Although I do think he was one of the best characters to be spawned by our subculture

easy Tiger

 

There's always one place you can find a crowdless break, even on the hottest summer day. Of course 10 guys from VA in a suburban are inevitably going to pull up right behind you and crest the dunes to see what the fuss is about at your spot. But I just act like a total asshole at that point.


The other saving grace is when we get those real nice powerful swells there's always more people suited on the beach than there is in the line up. You know the drill. They try to paddle out, drift a few hundred yards and then proceed with the walk of shame. They will certainly tell everyone they surfed that day but who cares if they didn't crowd the line up.


Last thursday for the dawn patrol there were more guys out there chatting like old women than there were people dropping in on the glassy rights. Why get up at 530 to chat with your buddy? And if you're going to do that paddle way out past the break so I don't have to throw up in my mouth from your kookiness.

And of course I paddle out away from the pack, they paddle towards me, then a bunch of kooks paddle out right on top of me. I will always win the paddle battle because I work harder, and whoever works harder gets the waves. So there is some solace in that.


I just act aggro as I can. Surfing is not about comradery, it's about passion for that moment when you're grinding across a perfect face. The best is when you have the fear, when it's so macking you just got to make that section, and when you don't sometimes you get a hold down that makes you think, man one more second and I was sucking water.

Seriously I will mean mug all of you. Unless you're ripping it and then let's face it, we are going to be mean mugging together.

 

north end canyon, gosh, you must be like the ultimate east coast ripper local surfer water dude. Vibing tourists, being the only one out on big days, surfing HARD at 530am when the sun isn't even up yet for another half hour, winning paddle battles, working harder than everyone, having no compassion but mad passion, and mean mugging everyone who isn't on your level.

This is where I ask you to "make it stop", the bull****, I mean.

 

Northendcanyon, what's your beef with Surfset fitness? You said yourself that "whoever works harder gets the waves." Don't you have a workout regimen, so that you can prepare for the next swell?

Aren't these just people who want to work hard and catch waves just like you? You shouldn't get mad just because they want to be as fit as you. So what if they want to get in shape together, as a group with comraderie. Personally I think it's cool, just like Crossfit. Heck, I might even get a couple for the summer home.

Not everyone is blessed with the talent and toughness that you have. They just want be as fit and badass as you. So give 'em a break. They may not be able to handle the gigantic days we get on this coast, but with Surfset fitness, at least they can try.

 

Ok, I can see both sides of this argument, however...

Are you a "surfer" if you are no where near where you can surf?

Are you a "snowboarder" if you are no where near where you can snowboard?

Are you a "rockclimber" if there are no rocks to climb?

The list can go on. My 2 cents, everyone wants to be labeled as something "cool". The "I'm a surfer yo" crap made me sick growing up inland. It's a way for kook rich kids to impress hussies. Just what I saw. They're mostly pudgy now and use that line to impress folks...makes me sick. I can rant all day but its just so poser. Ha, funny I say this and I "surf" on the East Coast.

Did anyone go out there this morning? Anyone? I was alone and there were fun rides, but it was "too chilly brah" as I heard from the naysayers. C'mon, anyone? Gotta love that drift!

 

this product is so unrealistic... i didn't see any sponsorship stickers on the board.

 

I take solace in this idea- I think these products may get people to think they're preparing for surfing, but all it takes is one day when they try to go beyond their limits and have a terrifying experience...all it takes is one, esp for people who aren't into something where they're in tune with their limits and constantly trying to push them in some way shape or form...they probly think it's all mellow and Gidget like, or they're gonna paddle out and have aquatic bro-downs. At least that's what i tell myself when I get nervous.

 

The more kooks that buy this product and then boards, the more good deals for boards on Craig's List.

 

I think it's great.perfect.now after they try to surf in the ocean,get pounded and cold in the wind these kooks will just stay home and rip on this thing,getting their surfing,yoga and crossfit all in one.

 

Since many of the pro surfers have utilized what is accepted as a more effective workout, intervals, body weight work, tabata, etc... What would you say if you saw Slater, Fanning, etc. embracing this new method and maybe warming up on one before a heat???

 

Hahaha! This reminds me of being back in high school in the 90's where we had this one friend who used to always talk about how awesome he was at surfing...even brought his board to school on several occasions to look oh-so-cool as he walked down the halls. Funny thing was, it was on Long Island, we lived near the beach. And when a friend and I started surfing together he joined us one day and he sucked so hard it was hilarious. Farkin' douche.

 

Hell yeah Seldom... If ya can BENCH-OFF, you can BRO-DOWN!!

Any time, any place. SALT LIFE... Cradle to Grave!!

 

Take a breath dude. You're a bodyboarder.

 

Salt Life Bro F*ck yeah!!!

 

HAHAHA!! They would never use one of these!! For many reasons I'm not even going to get into, just in terms of proprioception. There are so many better ways to warm up/flex the surfing muscles than this. A small shortboard under your feet feels nothing like a bosu-balled dry-land kook-board.
We're laughing at this thing b/c people who surf regularly for years know this isnt the best way to train. If you think it is, well. you're perfectly suited to the category we're ripping into.
