are you a arrogrant surfer?

Lots of blueberry and grand daddy purple

 

The last time that happened to my wife, we were staying at the Holiday Inn on the beach in Cocoa Beach. I was surfed out from hours of thigh to waist high longboardable waves. She gets squeezed off her peak, probably by Wayne and his crew. I was on the beach and watched it all go down in slow motion. She had no fins on,so she was not going to head up the beach further to avoid them. One,then two,then three guys sitting on her peak. They were all bunched up 30 yards south, then saw her get like three long rides (prone). Then they took over her little wave. They couldn't surf well. I had to paddle back out and ruin their session. Now that I think aboot it, maybe I did hear a few psalms and hosannas uttered as they went back down the beach..

 

I am an arrogant weed smoker. Seattle Brand-X for now (Brand-X because once sampled, the name is forgotten). You are an arrogant poster. Can you even swim?

 

There is always a crowd by the surfer chicks.

I'm not arrogant, Once you get past my good looks and wonderful sense of humor it's really my humility that sets me apart.

 

A Ho!! Arrogant weed smoker. Thank you for scientifically proving my statement.Arrogance is in the eye of the beholder. i'm not calling you arrogant. Now let me explain, i'm a Crazy Horse i eat grass but dont smoke it, u see i'm a horse! that was the joke since someone asked me about oats. Some assumed and imagined i smoked. Now try to eat the wheat grass i eat before you continue reading, so u can come down to my level of perception, u see i'm not as high as you.
What i'm trying to explain is that the world is how we imagine it is, it comes down to: when we see **** is just the **** in our head that we are seeing, and that is what we have to work with or simply live with it.
Arrogance is just a thought in your head it manifest as an attitude, but is not who u are, is only what you think of yourself, is the box u have put yourself in, or maybe society mom and dad etc. they are great at calling name. If you choose the arrogace box, then u will see arrogance around you each time someone has something to contribute.
When surfing is the same thing, i just drop all my atittudes, then i never see arrogance or agression on the water. Sometimes i notice that some people bring their boxes to surf, but i just dont believe in boxes, so whatever they are trying to sell i never buy. This is why i m always stoked in water. You hold the ultimate power to surf through life in a box or free. A hui ho malama pono

 

Crazy Horse, herro. Tell us more.

The Horse is a Zen Master. I dig him, or her. I've never shared waves with a horse...

 

Our perceptions (and resulting attitudes) may be delusional. They filter and often distort and block out the realities of the situation.

 

I might be arrogant. One day I was on the dune walkover checking the surf and a guy walks up behind me, then next to me. He pauses for a moment then says "penny for your thoughts". He said it completely seriously, and looked at me waiting for a reply while he stood less than a foot away. I, without flinching, ignored the question and and blank faced turned around and walked back to my truck. I had seen this guy before and had given him a nod when passing on the beach but this was too much. I never acknowledged him again. Not sure why that weirded me out so much but it did.

 

Because no straight male should ever say "Penny for your thoughts", that's probably why it weirded you out, totally understandable.

 

Hey Zippy...did some stocky bald dude ask you where the closest dunkin donuts was early on a saturday morning one day last fall..,at AI by any chance? For some reasonne I had a feeling it was you...

 

Haha, probably true

 

Happy Friday to you, Lao Tsu. Peace and waves.

 

God, that sounds familiar. Was I a d!ck or helpful? I have been asked a lot of stuff up on that dune but this vaguely rings a bell.

 

You were kinda indifferent, but it was real early so totally understandable...sent me to that place with the killer egg sandwiches, Buck's is it? But it was weird, bc in the back of my mind, I was like, "that was Zippy"...it got really good that day too...

Grey morning the wind was still onshore when this happened...

 

If you look at the definition of arrogant, what the other guy did came closer to being arrogant than your response. one of the definitions: "...overbearingly assuming..."

 

My wife has some cocktail napkins that say "Don't mistake my tolerance for hospitality". Cracks me up.

 

Oh sh*t that does sound like me. My mood on the dune is always based on a combination of what I'm seeing. Crowds, conditions, whatever can turn me from the most friendly to the biggest d!ck depending. Glad it wasn't an especially negative experience for you. I have to keep this in mind next time someone asks for directions. From now on as long as its not "penny for your thoughts" I will be nice.

Lol, That's good to know

 

Zippy,
Next time you see that guy please ask him " So where do you see "Us" in 5 years?". You have to use the air quotation marks on Us when you do.

Please report back on how that goes.
Thank you,

 

Nah Zippy, it's all good dog. I woulda responded the same. But next time, so I know it's you, ask where I'll see "us" in 5 years
