    I like how the first comment is someone whining about how lame the article is then goes on to justify wearing a watch to **** with the working class and how he wears a rashie....

    Let me add three more.


    The nerd

    This guy is always out there talking about board dimensions and explaining to you how his board is 2 and so and so thickness. Usually surfs average.

    The brave one

    Our there in a 3/2 when everyone is in 5 mils
    "You cold?"
    "Nah its not bad"

    The weenie
    Out there in a 5/4 hood gloves and boots when everyone else is in 3/2.

    "You dying in there?"
    "Nah its not bad, think I'm going 6 mil next time."

    The Drop In Artist: There are an infinite number of types... but here are a few common ones:

    Old dude who drops in on you and blames his aging eyesight.

    Grom who uses his youth to his advantage, knowing he's, "just a kid."

    Novice who can't get a wave, and finally... his desperation drives him to do the forbidden. (He'll never do it to you twice, but does it to everybody once.)

    I used to be that ghost face full of zinc (still a good idea if you're surfing a sunny summer day from 12-3pm)

    kook once told me he dropped in on me because he was blind in one eye...idiot
