I got hit twice yesterday....

i hate that ****...see it on the instagram accts. of every surf photog & wannabe surf photog..people asking "is this today? where?" & crap like that.

 

No spot names, no landmarks, no real time, #saltlifecode

 

i'm fine with that

 

Before I saw the number of posts, I thought Dune was PB Jetty reincarnate having fun.

 

Belmar, nj.... 16th ave... Belmar, nj...16th ave.... Belmar, nj

I like to name spots too.

Dude- did the other guy really die??? I don't think it's so funny anymore....

 

Wow that is really sick... Like sick sick -not cool sick

Man that is sad... I don't even want to see that anymore...

 

C'mon dude he didn't die. Lol.

 

In Project Mayhem, we have no names.

Now, you listen to me.

This is a man and he has a name,
and it's Robert Paulsen, OK?

- Robert Paulsen.
- He's a man

and he's dead now because of us.
Do you understand that?

I understand.

In death, a member of Project Mayhem has a name.

[all chanting] His name is Robert Paulsen.

 

sooooooo good

 

"We left the beach went to another break and continued on."

So you let him push you away? Sounds like he won and in fact it is now his break. Just sayin.

 

Fat NE winds with bigger, chunky surf has a way of clearing lineups around here.

Seriously, the comments I have to make sometime and I do everything to avoid it. I think if you are to frown and sulk when you surf, people might think "that wave sucks becasue he is not having fun" instead of smiling and just carrying yourself in a positive manner.

An old head once said to me, "you always look happy. A lot of people aren't. When they see you or anyone else happy, they want to take that away. It's their way of feeling better about themselves."

He also said with regards to surfing, people can't read the water. They see you surfing and figure that its the only spot working.

I had someone tell me last earlier this week it looked like I was walking on water. They paddled out right on top of me. I say, dude, there is another take-off like 50 yards away. We can have our own peaks (this is the story of my surfing existence). Seriously, same wave, sometimes better, but I am already set in my ways. A lot of times, dude(s) feel(s) stupid, paddles kind of away, then 10 minutes later, rolls right back on top of me because as I have made it abundantly clear...I surf in the magic spot. Wherever I surf, it really is magical. We've known about magic for some 400 odd years. It applies to the JFK assassination and the spot in particular I am surfing at that moment in time.

Guys from the VB pier I weirded out yesterday...see you somewhere else...again...I will be following you around again. Just don't roll as deep next time. I want to give each and every one of you my undivided attention.

Dude, you can't even crack jokes. It makes people think you are weak and they will be rude. Makes no sense. Then you have to be Mr. Stoic out there. UGH

Oh, I have another one. Had a dude the other day get mad that I yelled to him because he was...where...any guesses??? Paddling right directly to me and I am going to drop in. Then, being Mr. Nice Guy (which does not seem to work) you tell em "don't know if you're sick or stupid, I just see a lot of dumb things in the water. Don't take offense man." Obviously I failed, considering he was more inclined to be in smelling distance. Do I smell good? can someone chime in? At the rate I'm going, Everyone in VB must have smelled me by now.

Ok, one more thing. Do a lot of people encounter these VEEMA, Quixtar or Amway reps in the surfing world??? Seriously. A lot of dudes that seem to know what they are doing but do this crap at a lineup, and then try to rope you in on their GET RICH QUICK SCHEME. "Ya bro, its soooo kool." Mispelling are not cool.

I think that last paragraph is for the younger guys or maybe its becasue I am not a D.

"c'mon man, you can live the free existence of a surfer and go pro with all the time you will have on your hands because of this business." I give no one my hard-earned cash unless I am obtaining a product and/or service.

WHAT IS UP WITH THE PYRAMID SCHEMES!!! I THINK THERE IS A CORRELATION

 

Our company's health insurance rep had a cute little slideshow of him surfing last time he was here. I pray I see him in the water so I can explain to him the contradictions of the two worlds. I got stung by a bee in July, got an infection, and it cost me 900 dorrar.

 

LMAO!
