They call them selves surfers now?

[Honey]

I made it all up. To take some attention away from girl who cant swollow swirl. I really enjoyed the momentary attack on my handicap. Good times.

I really dont care who where what or when. You are all gonads standing up or on your knees.

(stink, what we had is over. Thank the fins.)

[gills]

I surf to get away from all the childish, foolish, little mind banter that is in many places...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you were a Brohampton regular.

you do have a point.

Does anyone else suddenly feel like they need to take a shower?

[Honey]

Does that mean I should feel like having a cigarette?

Stay tuned, next weeks edition of who I hate in the water will be covering longboarders.

The act of surfing requires that you stand up. If you stand up, you are surfing.
I have no respect for somebody who wants to put flippers on, lay prone while riding waves, clutch their little sponge with a death grip, and claim they're surfing. F*&K OFF!
Trying to stand up while dropping down the face of a wave will always be WAY harder to do than simply laying there, splashing yourself into a wave and thinking you're ripping.
So no, I'd never take a sponger to ANY surf spot.
No, I'd never let my friends see me hanging around with a sponger.
If you sponge you've taken the easy way to become a waverider.
That is what you are, a waverider. Never a surfer.

One summer had me working at a summer camp for children with Down Syndrome.
"You're mad cuz you aren't good! I'm better than you at bows!" replied Charles.

"It's fun time!"

"You're not good! It's fun if you're good!"

Choruses of Ricky and Charles' friends added to the call and respose pattern.
This thread reminded me of that time.

Yes, but at least people with Down Syndrome have an excuse for acting like morons. I hope some day a Jewish,African,lesbian bodyboarder with one arm move down the street from you and followes you around to all YOUR spots. And then proceeds to make you look like a drunken tweeker who got his hands on a stolen wetsuit and board. or some shite like that.

[guppy]

what are bodyboarders rideing in the line up?

The SURF!

I don't call myself a surfer though. But when talking about paddleing out I say "I'm going surfing". When I plan on ride a surfboard I differentiate that by saying "I'm going hardboarding"

I've caught so much flak from hardboarders that I expect it.

Honey, Nasty and Socalbarger... pffft....

I'm glad to see most of the board isn't so ignorant.

and thanks for the ride Wilbur

Guppy. It's all surfing amigo. P.R. spongers rule. Get in late, stay deeper longer. It's all good no matter the choice of ride hermano.

[Spanky]

Sponges are very much like mopeds and fat chicks. They're a heck of a lot of fun to ride, you just don't want your friends to see you doing it.

I have two sponges in the rafters. I take em out a couple of times a year for sympathy rides.

[H2O]

Spanky. Chill out. Respect the ocean and all surfers or you karma is goin to kick ya.

[andyjade]

Tyedog,

I'm not really sure if you were directing that at me. If so, you should've noticed that my post wasn't anti-sponge. And it had nothing to do with the various minority groups that you listed. I guess I don't get it.....

[Nasty]

Guppy - I think you need to go back and read all my posts in this thread. I haven't said one thing anti sponger.

[2tone]

but you're just nasty!! nasty I say...
