The Tribe:

[SoCalBarger]

Goat.

[Snow2Sea]

Bison - one foot in each world.. I can totally relate to that. Although, I'd really like to ditch one of them... but I get paid quite decently, have good benefits and am pretty much taken care of if anything goes wrong or when I retire, so as much as I want to ditch the one world.. I'm just either too much of a coward to do so or as some have said 'don't be stupid, you have a good job.. keep it'

That's me totally. I went from a snowboard stoke that's taken place over the past 5-6 years (and is still strong as ever) and found a new, surf stoke. I've been, roughly 15 times and only a handful have been on the coast here in Oregon. I just get myself caught up in too much work cause I'm the F***ing new guy at the office.

I'm a full-blooded tribe member. Me and a few good buddies, when we make it to the coast, are more stoked then anyone on the water. Listenin to some old school Methods of Mayhem rockin out the whole way there, to longboarding in the parking lots after a sesh with a beer in our hands. I love the sh*t.

I'm not nearly as capable out there as probably 90% of the surfers on this site. But, I'm out there when I can be, and I respect everyone around me. I've yet to encounter some local brew-ha from any fellow surfers...but I'm waiting. I love being underestimated and kicking @ss with the fellas.

Every local fella I've met, around the world, be it in a surf shop or in the line-up has been social and cool with me.

If you get stoked to read the message board and hear about ones' session on dawn patrol before your @ss sits in your office for eight hours....your a member (of various degrees).

So, am I just some goat boater or am I a surfer? You decide…

I would say wave rider. Nothing wrong with that.

Sloth...........I can see that new job of yours is keepin' you rrrrreeeeeeaaaaaaallllllll busy.

[pro moe]

goat boaters right there with tea baggers
with few exceptions outta control kooks

[The Betty]

nothing wrong with a nice t-bag.

[Swiss_Tony]

nothing wrong with a nice t-bag.

While one would assume Tony drinks tea, he actually prefers coffee because making a cup of coffee is not unlike making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir...gently, and firmly. You've got to grind your beans until they squeak. And then you put in the milk.

Best regards

blue and white I feel your pain....

we can have our own tribe and make war with the socalbungholes in the water!

I don't give a flying french toast what you lint lickers ride...

doesn't matter if your not dropping in as deep as me, or getting pitted as me, or blasting airs like me, or having as much fun as me....

if your out in the water I respect you and your efforts!

until you snake me...

then I'll just spit on you and paddle away.
