    Grommet, you're putting warm water wax on your stix in Rhodey bruh? Must be slick as all hell hardened from the drink still in the 40s. Least it smells like coconut, right?

    The **** you know about the ocean? Or the context in which that Saps pic was taken? Been getting up before 5 to score surf before you were lurking in your dad's testicles.

    I've never actually tried sponging. The spongers that I know are all cool heads.

    Having said that, what's with the judgmental yah-yah from you, RIsurfer? The person having the most fun is the best wave rider; who said that...Gerry Lopez?

    Why don't you go inhale some of that warm wax you're getting a woodie from?

    Can anyone recommend a good sponge shaper for me? I'm thinking about trying the sport and want to give me business to the "small guy" instead of scotch brite.

    The wall-hanger and rollerblade comments were nothing short of incredible. Thank you metard and Kahuna.

    I'd hang that on my wall. Yankee you're the man and thank you for the kind words in the other thread.

    Peace fellers, you know I'm really a pacifist. Ba witi ba.

    ^^ that's called dropping in, and it's why many surfers have no love for spongers. Same is true with the other post showing a sponger out in front of a surfer.

    Surfing is better for large waves (TOH+), especially with any chop. There are speeds where you need the shock-absorbtion of your legs and knees; arms and elbows won't cut it.

    I'd say surfing's better for mushburgers too, but boogering a mushball can be fun too. Fast, sectiony waves are easier to make on fiberglas.

    Power surfing is better done on a surfboard, though I've seen lidders throw serious spray and lay down pretty massive cutbacks.

    Aerials probably go to lidders. Barrel riding? Eh, toss-up. I'd volunteer bodysurfers for that one. Tow-ats and tow-ins clearly go to surfers.

    Since spongers ruined the Surfing Way of Life for you, maybe you should quit, take up quilting or something.

    Umm....yeah because ONLY spongers drop in on people. Give me a break. There's surfers out in the water that are a menace and have absolutely no respect. And to top it off they have sharp fins and hard boards to knock you/themselves out with.

    Intentional drop in at Saps, read the context.
