Who Voted Expert?

that was me

 

fiddle faddle please

 

Its like cracker jacks but for those with a more discerning palate (but no toy)

 

wasnt me....

 

Pump, you weren't ever Amish were you?

 

no. got some PA Dutch blood tho and grew up around them with my grandpa's cigar business. Not a big fan of them.

 

I figured a lot of people would vote over their level...mentally, mixing what they actually are with what they'd like to be. Comments like "I'm advanced, but still working on my backside cutback" or "I can stay out for X amount of hours" bring some clarity.

 

I'm sure very few will own it because they don't want to get torched by the nay sayers and jelous ones but i'm curious who is an expert too. More power to them if it's true.

 

What kind of Cigar Business? The ones that are worth Billions…are u a trust fund baby, Pump?

 

I cant really describe how I surf cause some tool will jump all down my throat. I did not choose expert.

here is my experience in a nutshell

Ive surfed for 2.5 decades, on multiple continents and island chains, whole EC south of the hook, whole WC south of Astoria, surfed hollow waves, mushy waves, soft sectiony waves, and throaty screamers from knee hi to 4-5x oh
I have surfed shortboards, disc-type things, longboards (performance and old school noseriders), surf mats, handplanes, fun shapes, fat fish, and big waves guns. I even rode a bodyboard when I was a child.
I have most fun in a head to just about double overhead (depending on spot) hollow waves. I prefer a channel to avoid clean ups and save my strength for wave entry paddling as opposed to getting to the lineup

I like the tube, dont care if I am on a handplane or standing tall. I also like putting it on rail when I can, it feels good.

I love variety and some size, but I will surf knee hi dribblers for a fix

I love it all, brown, blue, clear and smooth or foamy and frothy, whatever. I do not press myself if I am not feeling it.

its about fun, not validation or ranking

 

sadly, no. It was in the big cigar boom of the early to mid-1900s. no longer around.

 

I know you are SS, you're a good dude.
