What? 25? pfff.... I better aim a little higher if Im gonna catch up to your 2000 in 10 months. How did your tent hold up in the rain? You must have a big tarp over it. Those help.
Thanks for the Southshore Glassing number. I'll save it for future reference. I'm well into a DIY repair at this point. Going well so far. Waiting for epoxy to cure right now ...
I told y'all Im the product of the CA educational system. I ain't no mathematician, Im just some guy. 90 days! I can't wait that long
Live from just beyond the shorebreak at Sachuest Beach!! MIS - I see what you did there bro. Few of the SI cats enjoy a hello tread more than you and you're always angling to push the buttons of the regulars to get some windswell going here. Keep it up brah. Levy - You still haven't answered me if it's true you want to punch me in the nose for saying you dropped in on me. All I ask is that you throw a left so the breakages from past scuffles gets righted and I can once again enjoy perfect facial symmetry like zaGaffer has. I also ask that you run immediately after trowing said punch so I can just laugh it off and not have to deal with these part-time state cops here. That was you who dropped in on me, and I know for a fact because of the different wetty you wore that day. You were loading your stick back in your white van the same time I was doing so in my non-white non-van. If you ran your mouth to me directly instead of about me to the guy who parked next to me then we could've seen if Manissues is right about your left jab. Do you have man issues like he does? Who came first, you or the LSD outfit down under? If you did, then have you filed a C&D with them? Do you advocate the use of non-prescription psychedelics by minors that purchase your boards? As for me and you Levy, there ain't no me and you, not no more. Not unless you drop in on me again at your nearest Rhodey break. Then you'll have to hit me with your best shott. Btw, does this guy with two first names fancy that you're trowing him under your white bus here on the inner net? seldom, is that ok that Levy just did that? Dan Scott must not have been surfing Rugg**s long enough for his name to be bulletproof. Manissues - What says your urologist on the low free testosterone levels bro? Any creams or gels that you can have Hayduke apply to your inner thigh for some rejuve? There are wahines a plenty everywhere here bro. Don't miss out on the mating season. Then again, with all the homo innuendo you're laying down, it might not be your bag. Not that there's anything wrong with THAT... (for you DSUP!!). Didn't you say you were going MIA on here as of last evening? But you're still lurking bro... sandblasters - It took you that long to jump in the ring here?!?! How do you expect this tread to gain "hello" status when you're sitting on your arse chomping on crawfish? C'monnn braw, do your thing! rcarter - Come out from under your rock and work your black magic as well bro. It's been too long and cats are wondering. Hey Douche - I know what you're trying to do by attacking the institution of the Carver, yet it won't get me worked up. You just don't understand. Maybe the dozens of SI cats who are likewise stoked on Carvers can learn you good. Then again, you clearly lack the mental scaffolding to process the greatness those contraptions are. Bro, this drop-in incident was over a year ago. I've not had any lineup issues since about January at Laguna when a local tried to tell me I had to leave and then apologized when I just stared through him and his receding hairline. If you read any of my posts (Bro, can you even read?) you'd know that I've found lineup functioning to be very high from west to east over the last 6 months. I should probably stop surfing since I started too late, right bro? Do you want my kookquiver since I'm heading out the surf game? You keep talking lots bout deeze nuts in your posts, what's up with that bro? You have man issues too?? Gaff - How many dings must a gromkook fix til a gromkook can fix dings? You speak as if trowing some q-cell in a gouge, hitting it up with resin then sanding down and charging is reserved for the surf equivalent of only the highest Tibetan bonsai tree artisans. Really bro, at how many thousand dings will I have reached the watershed benchmark where I can even begin to comment on board repair? Because my perpetual kookdom has already yielded 900+ blemishes to my quiver. As for what I know, well, simply put, that's limited to knowing only that you know everything about everything. Your sister is a nurse so you were the runner-up for the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize in Medicine, you've been frozen...I mean surfing for 30 years so not a soul worldwide can turn a grub screw a single rotation with a fin key before clearing it with you first, you're the Rain Main of the life and SI posts of EMassSpicoli, a master mechanic, and...shoots, brah, my head is hurting trying to comprehend your divine omniscience! Really bro, all I want to know from you are two things: 1) How's the rehab going (100% sincere - I've been there; hope you're back in liquid stat) and 2) How many dang fish tacos will it take on my next SoCal swing to get you to teach me anything??? Betty - How stoked are the Bettys for this supposed major weather event rocking FP in the coming days? Are the Real Bettys of SoFlo keeping it classy? Dumb question queen mum! MichaelJR - Where the eff did you go brah?!?!?! Did you die in the whitewater at The W*ll?? Juliaep - How goes the wind chop Sheila? Those creeps at AI pressing you still or what? Bill Cosby's Nephew - Bro, are you even still alive? Sharc*** - (radio edit) Spicoli out! Boom.
Emass, the passive-aggressive machismo is lame. One minute you say 'no fights brah' then you constantly bring that **** back up. Dude, try some of the othger lysergic to keep the ego in check. And dude, when abbreviated, it's Rhody.
he knows. Just let him blab. The forum is still cool even with the little chickenheads spewing nonsense at a rate of 3000 posts per year. Its a lot to ignore, but its doable. Too bad there is no "hide member" feature.
My god all I had to do was just explore the settings tab for the first time! Problem solved. Bye Bye forever, chickenhead! Ta ta!
Now that this seems to have calmed down I gotta get this off my chest. You northern guys may rubber up all winter and think that makes you tough. Maybe you do that because your skin is so thin. This would have never been a conversation among a bunch of thick-skinned southerners. Two parties got their feelings hurt one way or another then get their buddies all riled up too. People are a$$h0les sometimes and drop names or drop in. Rub some ointment on your hurtfelioma and go take on the day. I'm sitting here trying to come up with how this conversation would have gone down south of the Mason dixon line. It wouldn't, no two ways around it. When I got dropped in on a lot I tried to figure out what I was doing wrong and fixed it or I turned into a better surfer. And if this guy is such a legend, shouldn't his reputation speak for itself?
You don't jeopardize dudes' livelihoods by dropping names and such, especially when they're among the first generation of surfers in an area, especially when the dude doing the name dropping starts another thread asking advice about said area, that's all. No emotions here bo.
Your answer is here. Skip to 6:30... [video=youtube;WBSQp3EXNIc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBSQp3EXNIc[/video]
F'in' A right. I gave Jake Eddie Camara's contact info up on what, page five? The Rhody scene is kinda funny. When I started surfing six years ago and was even more of a kook than I am now, I was living near the Jersey Shore and surfing BELMAR and needed to get my own board. I found a Hobie Peter Pan Slug, shaped by Midget Smith. Now, I had no idea that the Peter Pan whose name was on the board was not the same Peter Pan who fought Captain Hook and lived in Never Never Land . . . I had no idea about Rhode Island. When I posted on a message board trying to learn something about the board, did I get a load about Peter . . . .some haters, some defenders, blah blah blah . . . But when I moved to Providence and needed someone to show me the breaks, it was a kid working for Narragansett Surf and Skate who did it. I've met Peter in the water, and he couldn't have been a nicer guy, showing me some breaks and giving me some pointers. And it was his shop who turned me on the Dave Levy for repairs, and he was also a gentleman to me, did the work fast and for a more than reasonable price. I met Hogie through a group of surfers I met down near the Dunes Club, and Tom is super helpful, sold me a board and did an amazing repair on my asymmetric board . . . I dunno, I haven't had a bad interaction with any of 'em. But because I was new here, I was WAY respectful in the lineup. I passed up a lot of waves and waited for shoulders away from the crowd for a long time. I waited until I knew a few cats in the lineup who could introduce me. Sh*t, I still try to stay away from the pod. I'm goofy footed and I love to surf backside, but the right at Monahans is so crowded . . . I either stay way north of the pack and wait for my wave, or paddle down the left that none of the regular footers seen to want cuz they would rather go frontside. I just find all this hating and "bro-ing" stupid. I just like to surf. I'm sorry I didn't start when I was 6.
haha. Interesting dynamic that played out here, verbose team Man-grom, EMassOO, versus Lord Manissus the Scowler and his New England crabs. It's a f*cking forum guys, I don't get people calling each other out online. Deal with that sh*t in the water. Last time a guy dropped in on me, bad, I pushed him away, he fell, we still collided. Luckily no-dings, but he wasn't even apologetic about it. I didn't go nuts on him, no harm no foul. Who f*cking knows if the guy that dropped in on you just has a lot of sh*t in his head because his mom is dying of cancer. Maybe he's getting back into surfing after a divorce and is rusty. Who knows, unless it's a wave of consequence, if nothing happens, let him know what's up and move on. If he's a repeat offender and you're really connected to the regulars at a break, it will be worked out eventually. From what I can see here, you guys have been getting summer waves, so it's surprising to see everyone with their panties so bunched up. PS. DPSup thanks for the laughs, a couple of priceless one-liners in there. Southern men in a Northern man's war, what a surprise.
"Jeopardize dudes livelihoods"..... That's a bit of a reach Seldom. Hey, Didn't Dave show up and start naming names? Besides, Levy makes SUPS. Zero respect for dudes who went to the dark side. Can't sell surfboards so he started making SUPs. Sad. I have 1000 times more respect for boogie boarders then anyone on a stand up canoe. Those giant crutches are dangerous and are easily the worst thing to happen to surfing. They allow kooks, who shouldn't even be in the ocean, instant gratification. As for being first here blah blah blah, he's a transplant anyhow. Last time I checked, there ain't any surf in Providence. Have you ever met him? He's a controversial dude in RI. Might change your tune if you've met him when he ain't trying to sell you something.
