There is an age old question abojut an artist, his art and then his personal life. Does it matter? I worked for a famous art collector. He looked solely at the aesthetic value of the art. His son, who I became close friends with, was all about their spiritual life. He totally admired a pacifist consciencious objector (James Turrell, a Quaker, sworn foe of human bloodshed). He despised another artist, who I will not name, because of the artist's political views and lifestyle.

I'm more like the collector. I can admire GiGi's boards totally apart from his political views. They are things of beauty. And he is the only professional here on a daily basis, sharing his wisdom, even if he shares it like a shaolin master and we are all less than grasshoppers in our comprehension.

Thank you Greg. :cheers: Wish more pros came on and shared...and debated.
Fuk, you told me not to do the diamond tail and did I listen? :foreheadslap:

How so , in your view ?

This is the exact kind of poor taste, off-topic post that people just don't want to see. We're here to celebrate YOLOs and get pumped up about new boards and here you are name-dropping some random dude with a low-key shaming vibe. Of course, the subtext here is that we should all be riding your 5-fin fishes for 15-year stretches and singing your praises on here.

You are the mess interpreting in this manner .
You just don't realize it .

It was an actual question , one brought up to me by a friend .
It is an interesting question worthy of discussion .
In a surf session how many seconds do you spend riding the board?

Do you pay for all of your mountain bikes? - Yes

how much time per week on each - in mountains? 1-2 hours 5 days a week on the local trails - just got back

have you experienced the feeling of riding a bike designed for flat roads? Graham Swamp is not flat , Mala compra near my house is mostly flat and going as fast as you can is the big thing - huge maze of turns and trees

This E bike makes all flat sections a downhill you accelerate so fast into each section

Have you ever ridden road bikes (clipped in, bicycle with drops)?

was wondering why you needed e assist if no hills. makes more sense - enables a motorcycle on the bike paths.
