Not enough to go around. I hoard it like manna. I only bring it out when I'm alone and no one can see me. Done it that way since I was a boy :shock: .

I don't share stoke, I elicit it

(Not really true. I'm lying for some good reason.)

I like to share it with the right people.
Some try to take it away from me.
Usually it works too.

Stoke?
You can't handle the Stoke.
Actually I sort of ripped this off from a Jack Nicholson quote.

I really think we are rewarded with better waves by stoke sharing.
You know, what goes around, comes around.

sometimes when i go to stoke the woodstove in the winter i accidentally suck in a bunch of wood smoke and then i cry like a little girl as i cough and all the smoke smell gets in the house. i'd be glad to share that.

Stoke is good...
But misunderstood in some cases...
It doesn't have to be surf-centric...
But it's better when it is...

I don't always share the stoke of beginning surfers...
Who gush about surfing waves I'm not as stoked about...
And I'm not always stoked by soft toppers hooting...
About white water rides and purlings...

I don't mind a well placed hoot mind you...
But when I'm sitting outside...
With zen focus and intensity...
The prattle and inanity of their stoke grates...

But, that's my problem...
And I'll share tips with rank beginners...
Pointing out simple things...
That will add to their stoke, I suspect...

Like: Take 2 more strokes to get the wave...
Or: Keep the nose of your board an inch out of the water (not a foot)...
And: Don't sit inside watching in fear as people hurtle towards you...
But mostly: Don't just sit there...paddle around...
