Ride report by Steve83

Steve, your timing is impeccable....

Did you decide to wait until the swell was completely gone to take her out on her maiden voyage? When in times of turmoil, I have also considered attaching a sail to my wooden board and setting sail toward the Olde World, where the squirrel master can teach me the art of surfing without moving. Good Day.

 

Have me rolling on that one, KB....."the squirrel master"...awesome

 

I am also interested in hearing why one would skip a whole Friday of clean knee to waist waves in favor of a Saturday with semi choppy barely knee high waves. I was out twice yesterday, and while not perfect, it was really quite nice. I had the longest ride of my life with my funboard. This should be interesting. Let us know when to look at the pier cam.

It's after 1pm... anyone see Steve?

 

It's The Gnome, not Steve, who is posting & pulling the proverbial leg.

Not even DOD, NASA & TSA are gonna spot 'Steve.'

 

Alright then. Looking forward to the next update. Sounds like this new ride is going to work for you.

P.S.: You may want to invest in some sort of board schlepper to spare your shoulders and lengthen your sessions

 

Congratulations man...nothing like the feeling of riding something you made with your own hands. You've obviously got tons of stoke to take it out in those small weak conditions today. I'm glad all of your first impressions are positive...my experience has been first time out, if something didnt feel right, it usually stays that way, unfortunately.

 

A bit of a teaser of a report there Steve, but an interesting read..looking forward to the next one.

 

I'm not buying it. Call me a skeptic, call me anything you want for that matter (just don't call me late for dinner), but this 'Steve' moniker is The Gnome de Plume of The Gnome.

The deliberate mis-spellings, the off-American English terms, it's just adding up to another self-induced keyboard gigglefest from the stealth gnome.

As one of the more illustrious names on the board always says: pics or it didn't happen.
Today's pics posted here; not in several days after the Photoshopping has commenced.

 

U dropped the ball by not snapping a few pics of your maiden voyage.

 

Bingo!

Totally fake. 'Steve' and 'Roy Stuart' are .... The Gnome itself.

When you've been called out as a scammin' Kiwi, time & time again, the solution is to always, always, always blame the accuser.

We've seen this time & time before from the Gnome. That's what Gnomes & conspiracy theorists do: they post up some yah-yah & then tell you to disprove them. When you can't disprove the guy, and you can't because it doesn't exist, said wacky person says 'see, there ya go, you can't disprove me so it must be real.'

So, if this 'ride' actually took place yesterday, as 'Steve's' posts indicate, then why would 'Steve' yap about being a 9 to 5 guy when he would be at work yesterday. And if it was today that he rode the board, BTW, who in this country works "9 to 5 like any working man" on a Saturday on Memorial Day weekend. Oh, snap, a KIWI wouldn't know that this is a holiday weekend here in AMERICA! Oopsey! Guess you sort of missed the memo on that one, Gnome.

And after all of 'Steve's' posts about the magical board from S Carolina as inspired by the deranged Gnome, 'Steve' apparently doesn't take any pics of himself in the water on the inaugural voyage of his Gnomeboard.

Sorry, Gnomey but you're busted. Yet again. You'd do anything & screw over anyone to sell one of those kindling piles. Is 'Steve' the name you gave your giggle buddy blow up doll known only to you in your dark basement?

 

Yeah, Steve, it's been 1 month since you joined, why not just take a new picture of yourself with the board or hell just a picture of today's date just to dispel the notion you are Roy. Maybe pick a different background then the one we've seen.

 

I can't remember the last time I've ever heard someone here in the U.S. say they are a 9 to 5 guy.... 9 to 5 is like half a day now. lol.

 

Should be easy to debunk, if it isn't real. Just post on McKevlins Facebook page and ask if anyone saw a dude paddle out on a large wooden board yesterday. Given that the washout is always packed on Saturdays, and this is a holiday weekend, I can guarantee someone would notice a big wooden log in the lineup. I am not sure what he is talking about in regards to 3 ft surf and cleaning up. We were out at the beach from 2 to 5:30, and it went from under knee sized semi chop to thigh high chop. It never cleaned up while I was out there. I didn't even bother going in with my board.

 

Real deal Holifield. I met Steve at the washout on saturday as he was leaving. That's my mini simmonsish board. Don't believe me? Look up a hollow wooden surfboard thread I made a while ago.
