For the Ladies...

I try to treat people how I would like to be treated, except when surfing with a bunch of kooks. That being said, I usually do not surf with a bunch of kooks. Many times I am in a semi crowded spot and see women and or girls who can surf really good, and others that are very tentative. Just like the guys, but just not as many. I try to give a female surfer more space and less attitude than I give to the guys who I am competing for the set waves. I won't paddle battle, I hoot them on a bit, that sort of thing. If you are a female surfer, do you consider this condescending, or naive, or is this just old fashioned manners?

 

Definitely. I nominate besimple8 for core surfer of the week.

No pickup lines for me, happily married to a hottie, will be 12 yrs in a couple months. Luckily she doesn't get jealous if there are hotties surfing where I am and we strike up a conversation. Regardless, they are always pleasant to look at, and I'm discrete about it.

Let me apologize to the surf queens. I hoped you might be able to appreciate some sarcasm in my post. A/S/L didn't give that away? I thought people stopped using that in the last AOL chat room.

Nevertheless, I happen to be married to a surfer girl. NJ, it's not too bad either until she burns me on a wave. She's half my weight and rides the same size board as me... What's up with that?!? F^cking kook.

P.S. Pickles, don't be jealous, you sound hot too.

P.P.S One of the most respected members of yore was YourDirtyMama. A certified lady or a figment of SJB's imagination we'll never know but I'd like to think she's still out there surfing and slinging sex toys (she worked at a porn store, that wasn't sexist).

P.P.P.S You're right there aren't a lot of girls on here but I remember on that was complaining that it was hard to surf because of her DDs. How are you supposed to be taken seriously that way?

P.P.P.P.S Have you seen how women are portrayed in surf media? The last video I saw with any roxy girls had more in common with Victoria's Secret than a surf flick.

P.P.P.P.P.S Do those thong bikinis make it easier to surf in?

 

YDM's a real human. What's A/S/L? Aramaic as a second language? Follower? Or Savior, whoever you are now?

 

Come on Seen.... Age, sex, location.

 

Ahhh aight...I missed out on the initial phases of instant messaging acronyms, thank you for the clarification sir.

 

Old fashioned manners.

 

This can't be metard.

 

maybe not. choosing to not paddle/baddle could be consistent with being a gentleman.

 

It still hurts when I get snaked by a chick on a good set wave. More that if was a guy. Yeah, I said it. But the way I look at it, surfing in a good spot on a good day is a meritocracy, a privilege earned. Respect given is respect earned.

 

I got really lucky and married a surfer girl, it is always awesome to surf with her and traveling is fantastic because we always go where we can surf. Even if we are at a steep reef break and she dosent wanna go she hangs on the beach and cool with me staying out as long as I want.

 

The line I use when I'm in DC is:
Hey honey, let's go caucus. So I can attach my riders to your huge appropriations.

Might work in the line. I'd bet Betty would give you a wink and a nod.

 

I married my wife because she couldn't swim. If she surfed, where would I go to get away from her?

 

Then I'd whisper in her ear, And insert my lengthy amendment in your enabling legislation. Baby.
