Move to CA... Reasons not to?

I can cover the brews.

 

WBF. I'm actually pretty well covered in hair. I did shave my head for a while but now it's just a hair cut from Diamond Dave at the Citadel.

LBs are allowed and encouraged. It's hard to ride anything else on IOP unless it is a performance egg.




sandblasters, born in FL, moved to GA, school at Clemson, live in Charleston now. It doesn't take balls to post a video in a burka.

 

You can duckdive, but you can still get your ass slit with the fin, which is the most dangerous part of the surboard. Also, it's hard to time someone coming at you. Do I still ride where surfers are? Of course because sometimes I have no choice because the waves are so far superior. But I'll choose the blackball areas most of the time.

I think you're confusing what I'm saying. Any sponger has EVERY RIGHT to be out there with surfers. GO FOR IT! I'm just talking about what's more enjoyable for me.

Also, trestles looks like an AWESOME wave to bodyboard. I don't need some super heavy death bomb. That wave barrels, you can get air, it's fast, and it runs forever. I've never been on it. But looking from videos it looks great. But for me personally, that many people out there ruins it. I mean, there's like 50 people per peak on average. Have you experienced it less crowded than this?

 

I don't agree. That's the reality of a crowd. You will have someone stuck inside paddling out against current and they can't get out of the way due to the timing(they didn't make the last wave and got hammered). This is especially true on a bodyboard which is much more difficult to paddle than a surfboard or especially a longboard even with fins on your feet. It takes more talent to paddle a bodyboard because it's basically
....A sup....a longboard....funboard....shortboard...bodyboard when it comes to ease of paddling. That's where the term "speed bump" came from in reference to bodyboarders.

 

Speed bump....You can drive right over someone who's duckdiving. You have no fin. Look how long a longboard fin is for example.

 

If a surfer is coming at me and going to run into me, I just duck under the water and leave my sponge up top. Otherwise you're going to get cut bad by that fin. It's paddling out or being on the inside is when you're most at risk of this. If there's a huge crowd you're going to be dodging people.

 

ok umm I have no clue whats being said before this post,i just want to respond to the "paddling a sponge is harder to paddle than a surfboard"

ok first off,no disrespect to my fellow spongers lol,but shart were u dropped on ur head often?do u sponge without ur swim fins?if so then yea I guess it is harder to paddle,but with swim fins its no comparison.im not talking paddling a 9ft longboard here,go paddle a 5'4 and tell me how easy it is.

and duckdiving a sponge.if u cant get under any size wave from 2 ft to 50 ft on a sponge,then u have no business in the ocean.go out on a 20ft day and try duckdiving a 10ft board.i can do front flip dives under a 10 foot wave on a sponge.
please post a video of u sponging since u like making videos so much.i don't come on here saying I can surf anything im the greatest,thats not me,but u speak like your mike stewart or someshyt.fellow spongers don't take any advice from this little boy.

some shyt u say man,just gets under peoples skin.i guess u don't do it on purpose ur just like that and don't realize it,the whole lets kill sharks talk and now u saying its harder to paddle a phucking sponge than a surfboard!!!!wow

 

You got me going now....I might make a video just for you little girl.

People get pissed off when they have a different opinion than you. That's what all the hate for me is all about. Well maybe you(and other tree huggers on here) can't handle the idea that killing a few fish in near shore coastal areas to save some lives isn't worth it. And quite frankly the entire Australian government agrees with me and nets it's beaches. F the sharks. Nothing but serial killers of the ocean. Hook em and hang em and use their meat for cat food I like dolphins, not stinkin sharks....get it right buddy boy. MIndless eating machines those sharks. They have no feelings. It's a stupid fish. You want to see animal cruelty visit a slaugher house or go deer hunting or wolf hunting

Now addressing your little dumb ass that can't read. I can duck dive a wave. It's a surfer coming at you that is completely different. I'd LOVE for you to paddle a bodyboard out in relentless overhead beach break surf in NJ and then come back and tell me how easy it is due to the swim fins. It's literally impossible to paddle a bodyboard without swim fins. That's how bad it is. You're better off abandoning the board and swimming if you lose your fins. ANY surfer I've spoken with who has tried bodyboarding in solid swell knows this. Half your body is dragging in the water on a tiny board. It takes more skill to paddle a bodyboard. Without question.

I already posted a video of me taking a drop. The sponge off is soon enough.

You illiterate fool, why don't you learn to use capitol letters. It's not that difficult.

I'd LOVE to see a video of you DUCKDIVING A 50 FOOT WAVE....LMAO. God you are fool. You can't duckdive a wave that size. It will suck you back out and destroy you.

Let's see your video of "front flip dives" on a bodyboard...whatever the f that is.

The problem with the people on here is they take themselves too seriously.

I'm a BOOGIE BOARDER and proud of it. I think I'm going to go have some shark soup now.

mmmmm FINGER LICKING GOOD BIATCHES!

 

I'm sorry but this treehuggin bull**** that somehow people can't/aren't allowed to defend themselves is absurd. This is something new. Some kind of brainwashing by the propoganda conservationist agenda. This idea that "people are bad nature is good b.s.". Well, then I guess your house belongs to the bears/squirrels ect. You better bulldoze that ****! It belongs to the animals and you're interfering with their territory. F THAT NOISE biatches. What about FISHING THE OCEANS? WE DON'T BELONG THERE, RIGHT? We should also get rid of cars since they can kill deer and of course pollute the planet. Get rid of boats! Animals can get caught in the propeller. TREE HUGGIN WACKOS! How many of people on here got environmental science degrees? The biggest b.s. degree out there. Completely brain washed by lefty lunatic profs. Don't even realize you've been brainwashed either. You think it's your own ideas. The real fringe of lunatics ecoterrorists would like to see a plauge to wipe out people. They think we are a cancer. Real friggin nuts. I'm sorry, but the life of a couple hundred sharks is worth one human. Also, many of these sharks like the bull shark aren't even endangered!Look at renunion island. THey BAN surfing instead of just culling a bunch of bullsharks, which would have ZERO effect on the survival of the bull shark.

RECOGNIZE THAT ****

 

I can definitely tell this is an "environmental science" degree group of people. Their religion is anti-human and they tend to **** all over organized religion as well. Very obvious here on this forum.

Even I see another b.s. article about "it's the sharks home" I'm going to flip my ****. It's also the tuna fishes home and it doesn't stop us from netting and MURDERING millions of tuna. lmao Using the term murder to describe killing a fish is totally ape **** crazy.

 

well I never surfed a sponge,but I have been at the gym and they have these little blue mats that look like sponges lol and u just hold on and kick,and u move really fast.i used swim fins once in my life,at the gym,and it was fuking amazing how fast u move.i was able to swim a whole lap underwater with the fins,where as without id get a quarter of the way,not sure how long the pool was but it was a decent size,not small but not big.

and nothing wrong with u taking up sponging.do what makes u happy,im not hating,i just don't get the shyt u post.u ever see that video of jjf swimming the entire pool length with a board submerged?thats skill.with a sponge anybody can do that.its not a "whos got more skillz" thing,its about weight and buoyancy.a sponge is pretty weightless,surfboards have a lot more volume.another thing,on a sponge is a lot easier getting out of trouble when ur caught inside.when ur on a surfboard,which ever way the water is moving is the way u are going.and ditching ur sponge to duckdive is a lot safer than bailing a surfboard to dive.i don't think I heard many horror stories of getting taken out by a sponge.

ok now the shark thing lol.its called the ecosystem,food chain,shyt like that.u take the sharks out,and the fish they kill overpopulate and reefs diminish and a whole lot of other bad stuff.sharks are not serial killers,ur more of a serial killer than a shark.a shark is just a big sea dog,thats what I consider them,they are big,pretty,but don't go near it if ur not the owner,which nobody owns sharks so yea,stay away from them,ur not supposed to be in the ocean any how.people mainly chinks kill more sharks than they kill people.certain things u cant change.

and Australia and south Africa have shark nets for a reason.australia for one is a piece of land sitting in the middle of the ocean,yea theres sharks close by,same with Africa.we don't have that problem on the eastcoast.I never seen a shark in the water,i caught sharks before fishing,mainly babies like 30 yards off the beach,they are out there but they are not a threat.

 

I look forward to argueing with u tomorrow,be on here 5 pm sharp,dont be late or get 8 ,pisspants

 

Yeah I heard of an ecosystem einstein. All species will eventually become extinct anyway. The fish the sharks kill will not overpopulate if we fish them....lol I can assure you the ocean will just be fine if we exterminated the GW shark and the bull shark. Nature will find a new balance. That being said, netting a few high risk areas, humanely removing seals from high population coastal areas(this is what causes ALL GW SHARK attacks. The seals are like a dinner bell. You see this in cape cop), and culling some near shore areas would NEVER make these fish go extinct. It's called a bag limit. Basic conservation. Wildlife management. A bull shark is not a critically endangered species and the GW sharks we have no clue, but their numbers are clearly risiing exponentially and they should not be protected.

I never said to go after sharks in nj waters. I was talking about areas like Australia/reunion island and other areas where there's a major problem and heavy population use of the ocean.

 

Want to do a video chat with me? I have a webcam. Bring your ski mask and I'll bring mine

 

True it's easier to duckdive a sponge, but harder to paddle. It also won't knock you out and drown you or cut you. Another reason it's better than surfing I've surfed years ago. I'm telling you just take a sponge out on a big swell. Paddle your surfboard out, then paddle a sponge out. Do it a couple times each and then let me know

 

Cepriano....take a surfboard out into a olympic size pool and you'll be AMAZED how fast and effortless you go without current.

 

I'm

I'm gonna start a new thread for is so we can narrow down the details... As far as boards and Iop I houlda taken video I'm tellin u this girl was jamming on a fish so that overrules your theory

 

I think you worry too much. I've been surfing for twenty years and I've never gotten seriously cut by someone else's skeg. Besides, chicks dig scars, especially surfing scars. Don't let it keep you out of the lineup. Just charge it and get used to dodging the standups. But whatever, if you're happy, keep doing what you're doing.

I only sponged Old Man's once or twice back in the day. It's too far south for me, and yeah the walk is long. Was waist/chest both times. Maybe 5-6 guys in the immediate spot where I was. Plenty of room in the lineup.

Lids are easier to paddle out. Except if you're paddling **nt*** **er**** on a 17s NW with 20'+ faces. Then you want a gun, because if you don't make it out between the sets, you are well and truly f--ked no matter what board you are on.

If your cruising or paddling against a longshore, it's just as fast to paddle a lid like a surfboard as it is to kick. Saves your legs too. Save the fins for sprints to get into position or catch the wave.

 

You're absolutely right. IOP can rock and has nice workable lines. I'll never forget hurricane bill on IOP.

 

Well I'll admit that I've only ever paddled a 8 foot softtop surfboard years ago. Also paddled a sup. Holy **** that's fast. I've been told by others who have paddled a shortboard that a bodyboard is more difficult. But obviously that's just one person's opinion. I personally never paddled a shortboard.
