disclosure: this is not a joke. supposedly jer boy Kelly is setting up a firewire shop with the REAL guys in rodanthe. I am happy to see someone of stature pushing for the eco friendly board design and all... but I'm afraid the tri village - rodanthe, might not be the best place to do so. why not the Ron Jon in Cocoa Beach? more people there, plenty more suckers. could even open up a chia vendor in the back.. Idk what do y'all think? I'd also like to mention that I'm going to shred some south new jersey this weekend, ocnj looks pretty fun for Saturday.. who's tryna rip some mango before we paddle out? spot suggestions? lol jk iknowyouwon't
Wow I totally disregarded the fact that it was April Fools haha. Kelly is known for dropping serious news* on April 1st, I believe that's when he announced he was leaving Quik & that ended up being true. Overall I personally think the whole wave pool thing is kind of lame but good for him for giving back to the sport.
didn't read anything about a wave pool, just saw an insta post about him teaming up with REAL to put out some firewires I guess? if there's a wave pool in mind then that's just funny... then it DEFINITELY needs to be in florida... or like ohio or something lol isn't MSW bashed on all the time on here? I haven't looked at it in years cause this site is the best f'n site in the universe for water lump fortune telling. soooo yeeeeaaaaaa.... is that even credible?
What exactly do you mean by, "rip mango." If that's what I think, then you'll come to my place on Saturday. We have plenty of solitude there.
Rodanthe would be a cool place to do it and teaming up with REAL would help get the word out... Still not gonna buy one but a cool idea none the less.
lol kinda sketchy... best name out yea baddy that's what I'm sayin tho.. sblocal got it right.. there's more sick breaks between the point and OI then there are in all of VA, SC, or GA combined, so why put a wave pool there??? (I realize the breaks in trivillage haven't been good lately //: ) I didn't see nothing on a wave pool though... whos got some links on that? that idea is absurd.
Why a wave pool?? To expand and control the market. It's business. "Nothing personal; it was just business" (The Godfather)
Wave pool info is in this article: http://www.realwatersports.com/news/the-slater-empire-expands/ See - "The Pool and the Plan" paragraph
thanks Caroline [: I didn't want to believe it... but it's true I guess... what a kook. VB just built an indoor skydiving simulation thing and that makes more sense than this.. and Barry... ohhh barrryyyyy lol I get it man... especially with REAL sinking their teeth in, there's no way they're clearing the overhead of that massive building with the money they make off Canadians in the summer. Unless they totally own it. so I get that part of it... thing is... doesn't anyone realize ... that the money it will take to build this stupid wave pool... will be about enough to fix the Oregon inlet bridge... whose lifetime is barely long enough for them to get the supplies they'll need over to rodanthe to build that $hit. ahh the irony .. we could just fix the bridge, and get barreled the natural way... without the Canadians... OR, you could just bring a bunch of kooks into one of the last sacred places on this planet "the Banks is a spiritual ocean home and the last bastion of the free spirit on the east coast" - riley - some great words there holmes. and Slates talks about it like he's a local? man fvck this guy he doesn't know what's good. he just sees $$. the fact that the REAL guys are backing this **** is just sad and pathetic... I bet if you look into it they aren't from there. tisk tisk holmes the wealth's in the waves, not the wave pool.
Read the article If this goes through say goodbye to uncrowded waves fellas Those asshats that come down from canada in the summer are the worst
