I think not. Not ever. Supposedly laid back "real" surfers hate on sponges, SUP's, Longboards, skimboards, body surfers, wrong brand, too old, too young, not hip, wrong high school, doesnt live in mom's basement, doesnt get high or shoot heroin. So with this type of prejudice in such a "laid back" culture someone who speaks a different language, has different colored skin, or has an abberent religion there is no chance for peace with non "laid back" culture aka KOOKs of America! So what is the solution? Its clear to me... its NU-CLEAR! So have yourself a nice laid back day and just punch a random stranger in the face.. they may be on the way to COSTCO to get a Foam surf chip.
Having a problem with trolls? Have you opened a thread, only to see nothing but antagonistic, small minded troll banter? Well I've got the solution for you. As we all know, Trolls thrive on negative attention and stirring things up. With our New and Improved "Troll Away" spray, you just spray those troublesome trolls and "Troll Away" goes to work and fast. It starts by giving them the swift kick in the pants they need, revokes their commenting privileges, and most importantly, ignores them which sends them scurrying back under the bridge they came from. Our New and Improved "Troll Away" spray leaves behind an invisible barrier that keeps Trolls out for weeks. With "Troll Away" you'll never be bothered by those irksome little fellows (or the hate they spread) again. Your choice of Country Breeze, Orange or Tropical scent. Operators are standing by, place your order today. Dial 1-TRO-LLB-GONE now! Money orders, diner's club and all major credit cards accepted. Sorry, No COD's.
Looks like you are letting someone ruine your Stoke and thats your own fault. Dont trip on what others think and just worry about you and whatu are doing and you should have more stoke than you need and should spread it around. Some people hate for no reason cause they feel threatend or are jealous deep down inisde
I think you nailed it Matt haha Who cares about what other people think. Be happy that you have waves to surf!
Plain and simple: gang culture, or primal tribal culture at its worse. "Laid back" is an oxymoron. Lot's of the world's worse people over the course of human history were "laid back."
Lets have the costco $129 surfboard discussion after the first summer swell. Those things are going to be dropping (in on you) from the sky like pearl harbor. Sorry bro, but im going to go ahead and apply a little preventative hate to that situation. Its like watching out for that guy in jeans and a carhart on the slopes. Stereotypes; based on reality. "surfing isnt a group hug" If some kids punked you then you are hanging out at the wrong break and/or at the wrong time of day. Like Matt said, dont let people kill your stoke. If you are a new face (or an annoying old one) and your stinking things up, expect to hear about it. Thats part of the process in a crowd. But... Surfing in crowds isn't necessarily part of the game. Its on you to take some initiative and find an uncrowded spot, and its not hard this time of year. I hate crowds. In the winter its easy, in the summer I have to get more creative, buts its always worth it. Hell, some of the places I surf you could be out on a raft constructed of sups and inflatable bananas and noone is around to call you a kook. Just saying... Maybe ill market some "get over it" spray. I have a sick Don Henley song in mind for the commercial.
on behalf of all of us here at swellinfo, I thank you Zeroevol for sharing such a creative, unique "youtube film" with us for the fifth time today!
