I have been drinking ice house edge (oh so ghetto) What's the right math? The weak number is life expectancy, should be how many years surfing (average) say 20 years. so: 500,000 /20=25,000 500,000/59-8475/20=424
Your numbers are way off. There is no one in the USA that doesn't surf anymore, so start with 350,000,000, everybody in the USA.
Wait, you're drinking ice house? I didn't know people who had internet access drank ice house lol. You lost me on the math. I also didn't read the articles so maybe thats the missing piece. My brain only likes math that involves dollar signs.

THIS volcomsurfteam? I hadda... It's Friday. Plus this election season has me freakin depressed. This made me smile.
That was the main point of the 1st article. Reading comprehension requires the actual act of reading. I know, i know, math and reading all in the same thread, that's a bit much to ask on swellinfo
