Sorry to have struck your nerve, dreams. I was actually born in Hawaii (but technically still a haole, kama'aina at best), but my family was ripped away by the next set of orders, as I was raised an Army brat. I love the ocean, and wish I was closer, but live inland to support my family. I was lucky to grow up spending my summers on the South Jersey shore, and I get twitchy if I haven't been near the ocean for long periods of time. I have mucho respect for Hawaiian culture, and managed to get back to the islands, spending a week out there many years back (pre-kids, when I could afford to surf travel) without one stink-eye being cast. I stayed away from the premier breaks and waited my turn where I was. No hassles. I'm pretty laid back in any line up, and the "give respect, get respect" mantra suits me just fine. So, back to Iz. I love his voice and his music. When one of his songs comes on the internet stream I listen to at work, I often stop what I'm doing, turn it up and sit back and float somewhere tropical in my mind. I'm sad that the world is now without him, but he left his mark like many artists in many genres, and I'm thankful for that. There is no denying the fact that the man was physically massive. (I won't go into all the reasoning/causes etc., and I have read into that a little bit. I just feel sorry that because of his size he lived such a short life.) My post was meant as a simple pun on the phrasing of OP's subject line, nothing more, nothing less, and again I'm sorry it touched your nerve and elicited such a response.
Is the white dude in Hawaii calling others haole the same as the white kid in Connecticut that says "wassup my nigga?"
Bahhhaaaa, that is awesome man! And I think HI should shut the hell up about whitey and the mainland Haoles considering all the other tropical waves with as good and many better breaks than HI that have been found. You are no longer the only place to go surf big/perfect waves so suck on dat braddahs. Oh and also I dig Iz's mucsic. Dude was an exceptional musician and human and it sucks that he's gone but Capt's post was funny as crap and I was actually about to post a similar pic but saw that he beat me to it.
Reminds me of an ole story about my good friend Clayton Bigsby. [video]http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8cc_1352405973[/video]
brahda why you always so aggro? where you from jerzy? hawaii? if you from hawaii it makes senses to why your to quick to pull out the fists because they islands bread a culture of violence and druggies. i mean sure man i understand you like dat meth and fisticuffs but yall got to tone it down. sure it helps with your paddling but thats what roids are for. hawaii can hate me all i want im part two tribes of native american...the real bad ass natives not those dumb as island ones that couldnt make it off and island.
unfortunately i figured this website would be rad. i'm sadly disappointed of the lack of intelligent statements of uneducated trolls that are named senior members. No Aloha kooks. The four Trolls-Assblaster, ckny, Double Penetration SUP, IFarter Capt. JAQ- my apologies for my name calling towards you. it was unwarranted. i got heated and i haven't surfed since xmas. you are in fact an honorable gentleman. I feel for your situation to do whats right for your fam and i wish you the best of luck in the future to get closer to some surf. this will be my final post. Gotta get somewhere that senior members are an example of the Forum that has named them as such. not a badge for the freedom of their own douche baggery. Who a majority of the time have nothing positive to contribute to any conversation on here, but trolling to illicit a heated response. Sad
Nobody cares how big it is. Are there any Hos to contend with? That is the question I often ask before I paddle out when it is macking.
don't go. i mean, we need those who would stand up for bruddah IZ. just toss the stems and seeds... and suck up the good stuff.
Wow Nancy Boy, pot call the kettle black much? You go and make a boo hoo little butt hurt pu$$y tread about "senior members" and how bad some of us are, then come and post sh!t talking in this tread? What a fuking hypocrit you are. And shut the fuk up about aloha dis and Braadah dat, this is predmoinatley and East Coast surf site, we say things like Youz Guyz and Howdy. Ohhh some body dised HI, oh somebody made fun of a fat dead singer. You think TN gets pissed at fat Elvis jokes? Lighten up and change your asspon cause you be raagging hard. You took what was a very funny post by Capt and turned it in to a war. You have no one to blame but yourself. Good Riddance!
