    So Matt, are you famous or something? Got people in line ready to virtually shake your hand, must be humbling. Hey, did you do one of those classic good bye posts like everybody does when they've gotten rattled on here and can't take the abuse anymore? Or was it one of those quiet, slip into obscurity and hope nobody notices type exits? I'm not being a wise ass, just curious, so I know what i'm working with here. I think I missed this tragic event so if you could bring me up to speed that would be great. You probably want closure on the whole deal i'm sure. BTW, do you bench bro?

    Actually I was Mod here way before you were ever on here . Some people didn't like I kept the place on a tight leash and made threats to the go the the forums host and have it taken down . So I stepped down as Mod and sat back for a long time and not posted . I moved on got in to other things to consume my time and I decided it was a good time to make a comeback and see how much as changed .

    Ask anyone who's been here a long time they will fill you in . Im just here to enjoy and interact with other surfers and we call have the same bond Surfing...

    Welcome back Matt, I'm sure you will be happy to hear that I am still wearing a Hyperflex wetsuit.

    It has many, many holes by now, but their customer service took good care of me along the way.

    Matt Johnson!!! I thought you might have died, what a pleasant surprise.

    For those of you who don't know MATT, he drops knowledge, wears 5mil lobster claws when he surfs in winter, and also whenever he is writing a post for this forum.

    The material here has gone way downhill MATT, and a bad downhill too. Not a bad downhill on a skateboard catching the death wobble downhill, like a rolling out the driveway on rollerblades downhill! Super lame

    Its almost like when the kid at eastern lines with the bad facial hair gives someone their first surf lesson, he also directs them to this forum.

    Annnd there must be one of those kids at every surf shop on the east coast cause its getting crowded in here.

    There is literally no new posters keeping it interesting. Except for this black guy eating a sandwich, he keeps it real and starts some awesome threads.

    There's one on beer, I suggest you check it out immediately.

    1 guy made a surf video thread that was cool, and this other guy went insane. LBCrew still knows what he's talkin about and I'm now convinced that Zach19 has literally done and seen everything...seriously.

    That's really all you missed I think.
