Just a warning JESUS is in this thread

Cool article Wayne.

 

Very nice. What aspect of the beach culture do you consider rough?

 

Thanks for the article, Wayne.

 

That's nice that they're teaching kids to surf. The ocean is an amazing experience, but this push for modesty - it was the Christian missionaries who forced the Hawaiians to start wearing clothes and shoes and sadly to outlaw surfing (punishable by death, pre-1900). It was the Christians of Europe who encountering giving, loving, sharing natives in the Americas, who happened to be practically without need for modesty as they were barely clothed, who decimated and extinguished that community on a scale that would make Hitler envious. So, forgive me, if I do not share Mr. Stockbine's or 'sonfollowssurfs' insistence on introducing his morals into my culture. I wish I could wear less when I surf, I appreciate the grandiose beauty of the human form, as created by the maker, and though, I dutifully respect one's right to freedom of religion and speech, there is nothing more free than hanging one in the ocean. Those damn clothes just weigh me down. Go naked, go free for a little bit of SPIRITUALITY!!!

 

The van has been repaired & wayne-the-insane has re-surfaced.

 

Girls are required to wear rash guards for protection from the sun and surf but also to teach modesty. Wayne Strockbine realizes it may be old-fashioned, but feels it is important to protect children from the influences around them.

“The beach culture can be a little rough, but people here know me and they know what I stand for,” he said.

HUH ....?

 

Uh oh....you're not staying up late with chucka-boo-boo, banging away at those latex dummies are you wayne-the-insane (WTI)?

So ya got a little pub from some rag that flogs the christian right 'way of life.' Sorry WTI, but that's like Botha getting props from some white-power rag for his treatment of blacks in S Africa.

You try to jam your point of view down everyone's pie hole. You're not about surfing at all - - it's merely a convenient vehicle for you to insinuate yourself into kiddies lives. You can take the proselytizing elsewhere.

 

If I remember correctly Adam and Eve were created by god, not clothing.
Also, yes rash guard approved on that one ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

She's over-rated, physical-attraction-wise, like most of these surf/model chicks.
But yeah, she'd out-surf me on even my best day.

Am I the only one here who's five cans deep in 25-oz Busch right now? I'm pretty sure that makes me an honorary Floridian.

Son Follower Wayne, I gotta hand it to ya, you somehow manage to seem like a not-total-douche with the whole "relatively-non–organized ministry" and 'general positivity' stuff, despite your detractors. . But have you ever considered the effects of your religion on Native populations in the America's and in the rest of the world? Or the effects of puritanically ideal repression on young girls in an otherwise accepting/incorrigible society?

Keep keeping the kids in the water and off the dope and meth dude, but let them choose what to wear and believe.

Wayne, what would you do if a troubled weed-smoking 14 year old from a local trailer park came to one of your Sundays, looking for some escape, because he was gay and his family didn't accept it?

 

I know you're drunk but this is a pretty ignorant post. Jump on the hate wagon. Wayne got an attaboy from a secular news source, he must be doing something right. The actions of the past have no bearing on the actions of the future. Wayne is no more responsible for effects of his religion to native populations than I am for effects being a white guy in the south to the black population.

 

is this a christian surf school? or the taliban?

 

Perfect post.

 

clemmy, you're almost beyond help. wayne-the-insane is no Father Flanagan (look him up).

And, puleease, have you lost your little mind?! "Secular news source" that's almost laughable. What is that, exactly? Fox? CNBC? There is no such thing as a "secular news source," wake the eff up.

"secular news source" ...... c'mon, get real, the media is bought & paid for, have you been under a rock your entire bald life? Whoever inked that spew about WTI has an agenda, as does the rag that published it. That isn't "news" and it isn't anything but promotion of their agenda - - which, in this case, appears to tie in with the agenda of WTI.

 

Why is nudity against god? He gave you your skin, according to your beliefs. Don't blame the girls, blame the boys who have impure thoughts. Blame society that creates this sexual aura around the bare human body.

 

That is why I have a problem with organized religion. Modern theocracy has taken a beautiful story and message, and bastardized it to fit their own views and morals.

 

I think it's a good thing you're doing Son. Having lived in Brevard Co. For a few years, there definitely is a "rough" culture in a lot of areas. Most places all the rich people live next to the beach. Around Cocoa and Sat beaches there's a lot of low income areas and dirty vagrants mulling about. Strip clubs, dirty bikers, drunk enlisted guys, drugs, and typical FL Jimmy Buffet wannabe alcoholics are everywhere. Giving kids a positive outlet amongst all that can be life saving.

 

I'm not really religious at all, but I respect the JESUS warning in the post, and think what you're doing is a great thing. Regardless of the spiritual nature of the thing, seems like you are doing some good for kids. Keep on keepin on.
