Well seeing how Turks best friend Sheldone has made 3 non surfing threads in less than 24 hours. and the Turks are trying to rid SI of politics because there is not enough talk aboot surfing, even though the Turks don't post any surfing stuff. I figured I'd start a surf thread geared towards surfing and more importantly something new a exciting to SI that should garner much traffic. So what's your favorite leash brand? Do you like the ultra-lite comp even during big days? Or are you more a naturalist and go bareback even when it's crowded?
Dearest Archy, I enjoy each and every last one of your posts, especially when they are "political" in nature.
How refreshing to see another surf tread! I like my surfmore. I swear I rarely get my feet tangled up any more when I LB. I wish the little sinker thing wasn't yellow though. It looks like a fishing lure. The Florida state parks have been banning the No Leash surfers. At my home beach, they've kicked surfers out of the park for a day first offense, a year for third or so offense. Even have threatened to close it to surfers except between 5 pm and 9 am.ridiculous as it's mainly surfers who go there especially in the non summer months. With the exception of a couple of surfers, 99% now use the leash at the park.
For shortboard, love my Creatures Lite 6ft. Never had a tangle. Haven't snapped one yet, but waves rarely get overhead on the gulf. Use whatever I can for LB. Right now, rocking a Bully's.
The Florida state parks are becoming like commies, simply due to the tourists who failed to return "home"...
Good afternoon, Z!! I hope that you enjoy this wonderful thread which Archy lovingly created for all !
I personally wish that the leash were never invented...there'd be a lot less people in the water, and even more would be constantly swimming after their boards. Jack O'Neill should've gotten the hint when he started wearing that eye patch.
i was in siesta keys during halloween one year and its was hilarious . Sitting at some restaurant with a friend getting some chow and a few cold ones having a conversation with a few at the bar . We all were in mid conversation , a this couple walks by and everyone went silent . Some where even in mid chew of their grub and everything stopped . Jaws on on the floor . This women was in a black shinny leather dominatrix outfit with a mask with chrome belt buckles all over her outfit . She had these crazy high heal boots that went up past her knees with a wipe in her hands . This women meant business . The fella was walking on his hands and knees in a dog like fashion , wearing leather speedo , a mask with a ball wedged in his mouth and a spike collar around his neck with a leash leading back to the women. So was that proper leash et i quette , enquiring minds want to know . Not sure if the leash was a dakine , fcs , etc . After that halloween night i never could walked my dog with a leash again . it just didn't feel right . sorry for the high jack but its some what related, i think .
Archy has posted a couple of pix of himself surfing some pretty healthy (and cold) waves, and has purportedly traveled to some pretty cool places. You, on the other hand, have done nothing except: a) whine like a little girl about Herlihy towing in to your little corner of the world, and b) insulted people on this board who have been here a lot longer than you, without the benefit of a "hello" thread. Doesn't matter. We don't want a "hello" from you anyways. Just go away and suck on your sweet salty teenaged tears.
