call me barrell

good for you man. did you have a big sell-off within the last three months? im not so interested in the bonds, but what sectors of stock market have you done well with if you don't mind? props on getting barreled too. I wish some others would take some time to educate, research, invest (take some risk), and benefit the markets/hopefully with positive returns LOL. this country needs it! 17 trillion in debt and people think investors are evil hahah. I don't want to become like most of Europe (except Germany).

 

A barrel, cask, or tun is a hollow cylindrical container, traditionally made of wooden staves bound by wooden or metal hoops. Traditionally, the barrel was a standard size of measure referring to a set capacity or weight of a given commodity. For example, in the UK a barrel of beer refers to a quantity of 36 imperial gallons. Wine was shipped in barrels of 119 litres (31 US gal). A small barrel is called a keg.

Modern wooden barrels for wine-making are either made of French common oak (Quercus robur) and white oak (Quercus petraea) or from American white oak (Quercus alba) and have typically these standard sizes: "Bordeaux type" 225 litres (59 US gal) and "Cognac type" 300 litres (79 US gal). Modern barrels and casks can also be made of aluminum, stainless steel, and different types of plastic, such as HDPE.

Someone who makes barrels is called a "barrel maker" or cooper. Barrels are only one type of cooperage. Other types include, but are not limited to: buckets, tubs, butter churns, hogsheads, firkins, kegs, kilderkins, tierces, rundlets, puncheons, pipes, tuns, butts, pins, and breakers.

Barrels have a variety of uses, including storage of liquids such as water and oil, fermenting wine, arrack and sake, and maturing beverages such as wine, cognac, armagnac, sherry, port, whiskey and beer.

 

Sorry, just couldn't resist.

 

Spoken by a true cooper!

 

Thank you Professor seldom. Tomorrows lecture is entitled, Foamball.

 

Haha hey anytime guys!

 

Caught my best barrell to date today. First at the home break. Best overall I've been in as well. Was short-lived, yet excellent. Came down the line with a solid frontside bottom turn after a fast drop and was in the lower midline still in a bit of a stance when I saw that the local housing authority had given me temporary shelter. So I stood upright, knowing what was next. Waited my time, which was only a couple seconds, until the lip and face knocked me over. Wasn't gonna brace myself and waste previous green room time thinking about the consequence. That would not be living in the present. I then got spun underwater with a beaming, frothy smile as I laughed maniacally to the surface. Now I want more.

 

solidly bigger up here than forecasted...so where are the complainers saying the session wasn't what was forecasted!?!? easily 6-8 ft (not 3-5)...but we don't tend to get barrells at my spots, just big and mushy + wind was cross making a lot of sections...still, once out past the break, adrenaline going on a day like today........

i dream of barrells & getting slotted, and not just slicing up the face...one day

 

Boiler Room meets Point Break. This brother is off the chainwax brah.

 

congrats spicoli.
now you can be promoted to the next movie.
may we call you Keanu?

 

Bro you know I said this to buddy in the Utah voice on the walk back.

 

Yeah dude congrats! Just be careful on those close out barrells, I sliced my foot open on the fin of my board getting some shade only to get imploded on and worked. Think what that fin could of done to my dome, ok i'd rather not think about that, but seriously, something to be aware of. I cover my head best I can when I get blasted like that

 

Risk < Reward

 

I like the simpler formulas of Life ^^

 

I go for it sometimes just knowing I'm gonna be blown up and still don't care sometimes, i'm a knuckle head, always have been, sometimes it's too late and have no choice but to go with it, just duck and cover! HAHA I'm sure one day my body will tell me to stop doing that.

 

Bro. We paddle into so many high-cost, low-percentage waves on the EC that don't even hint at the chance of barrelling us. Why would we shy away from the likelihood of a good wombing? I honestly didn't expect it in any way, it almost never barrells at the home breaks. I simply made the drop, screamed into my bottom turn then boom, free barrell. Was effin delighted and so ready for the thrashing.

 

That's how it happens a lot of times, dropping in minding your own business, then boom, just happens. In PR it just happened to me like that and about nutted my shorts, pretty sure I screamed underwater like I won the lottery. This was my first time down there a couple years ago, hoping for similar conditions this next go

 

Looking to get pinned are ya bro?

 

There's a left that barrells off the rocks at a certain spot I frequent down there, if conditions are right, you bet your ass

 

Ya bud, don't reckon I've ever got barrelled backhand, just on lefts.

Careful that they sterilize the pin before pinning you bro, it's PR.
