skill vs stoke

the two are symbiotic.

 

sometimes they are inversely proportional to the jaded ripper

 

"The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun." - Unknown

 

"first u get the stoke,then u get the skill" proverbs 41:11

 

Toke up dood.

 

Dood! You're so.....righteous! Embrace the Pastafarian King, sonny buck!

 

I think skill diminishes stoke. As much as I love surfing, I got a whole lot more pleasure out of it before I really learned how to surf. It becomes an addiction that needs to be fed. Chasing the dragon, and just like heroin, it's never as good as it was the first time.

 

Um.......skill leads to stoke....it sucks to suck, whats better than a nice cutback or a long tube?

 

^ what that guy said. If your having less fun now then when you first started I think your doing something wrong

 

"Always stoked at all skill levels" -me

 

Surfing = Heroin. No, I don't think so at all. When i first started surfing i was riding white water and thats about it. Now I travel the world for barrels which is a lot more fun than whitewater. You need to stop surfing.

 

yea, skill leads to stoke, however it takes 'mo bettah' conditions for a skilled person to 'get off'

ie a newby who can go down the line is super stoked to go down the line, a barrel hound might have fun, but not be super stoked

and seriously, surfing without barrels is like sex without the orgasm, I imagine this is how blasters' girl feels

 

woow look at the big man right here...i see you guy hi!!!!!!! whats up bro you had to throw a quick insult in there didnt you? hey come to my break and meet the carolina da hui..(kkk)

 

DID THE WITTLE BOY GET HIS FEEWINGS HUWT? you wanted to put my car on blocks and fix my sunroof, thanks for the offer, can I get your girl a Dr. Hitachi magic wand, or better yet a date with the Harlem Globetrotters? heard she likes the darkness

 

so they are the same. Does she play the banjo? or just the skin flute

 

I think you missed the point of the analogy. barrels are waaaay more intense (and harder to come by) than whitewater, so you need more pizazz to get the same stoke....just like an addict needs more sweet lady H to get the same buzz as his/her experience increases.

like that first 6 pack you had got you pretty drunk, now that 6er is just a warm up

my first tube was short and AWESOME.... I am much less impressed with same tube-ride now, I need a deep mental pit to go off like I did on my first tube ride


if you still dont understand YOU need to quit surfing
