I payed $745 for a 6'0" but that had a tint and was all Volan Glass (it's heavier than the clear one I have) I'm guessing that's why it was so expensive. I payed $595 for my 5'6" clear one (I like this one the best in surf Shoulder high and under). I bought both from 2 different shops. Hope this helps.
philosopher's corner is OPEN.... don't we all want to leave a legacy? "die with yer boots on," or stepping in front of a bullet or chin-up defiance and all that? i think that goes to the comment by koki barrels. in reality, those guys went out "happy" but the legacy they left behind...not so much. then there's the old guy in so cal last week. on his board, on a wave. that's a legendary exit....well...in some circles anyway.
Just listened to "suicide is painless" on the first page. Man, that song is depressing! I like the second version with the words replaced with the trumpet much better. The intro to MASH reminds me of my dad, that was his favorite show. Anyway, the song lyrics are misleading. Suicide is not painless (I know no one here is thinking of it and it was an allegory). Just talk to some of the families around Manasquan High School (The teen suicide capital of the country). I think they will be able to say that suicide is painFUL. Good stuff in this post. Check out my sig. Pascal's Wager, google it. If God doesn't exist then we are all good. BUT, if He does exist then many here who haven't accepted Christ are in serious serious trouble. Not trying to scare anyone and these are not my opinions, simply what I have read in the Bible. Stop and think about this stuff, it's important. And yes, there may be some dirty hippies in heaven as well...
that's terrible. i've heard of other highschools in NJ where there were "suicide clusters" too. if anyone reading this ever has thoughts of killing themselves, don't do it. its not worth it, and life really is good. there are always other options
I see your point. And it's a good one. I guess I'm thinking that if I die doing what I love I'll be okay with it and my family and friends will be okay with it. There are certain risks inherent in certain activities and I accept those risks and take responsibility for my actions. If I screw up and drown or get killed in avalanche - that's on me and oh well. But if a drunk swerves into my lane or a terrorist takes down the plane I'm on, that's tragic because it's somebody else's fault and I had no say in the matter. Not that it matters much for me, cuz I'll be dead, but it might help my family and friends deal with it...
