Surfing was at its best when it was a counterculture activity(70s/80s). The “sport” of drug addicts, derelicts, and miscreants. Something parents tried to keep their kids from participating in.man the 90's were so different than today's surf world. Blows my mind. Pain, rashes, cold, low level fear of older surfers etc...It was a little rougher, but you learned how to deal with so much discomfort, and even embrace it, and some of us anyway became stronger more confident surfers and people. Now? i don't know WTF. "Yew" surf wax for children? just take me out behind the barn and shoot me

I guess a lot of us grew up in different times. As a teenager, my parents hated the fact that I was a surfer. I was one of those "no good, pot smoking deadbeats".I hear this and I will wax their bikes and scooters.
Damn it I need to surf Trestles again just so I can wax the trail with Covid-Beware messages.
To most people you might as well have been a Hell’s Angel or a heroin addict as a surfer bitd. Surf shops weren’t considered much better than XXX Bookstores.I guess a lot of us grew up in different times. As a teenager, my parents hated the fact that I was a surfer.

Surfing had a negative stigma. We were the bad guys. You didn't want to let your boss know that you were a surfer.
Now surfing is socially acceptable. Every yuppie, doctor, lawyer surfs and drives around in an Audi SUV with surf racks.
From bad to worse IMO. And pushing your kids into it. It's like Little League these days.
Surfing has been completely commercialized and pvssified.
I took my lumps as a kid and was good with it. It hurt me back in the 80's and early 90's. I paid the price. Now every fvcking commercial has some kind of fluff surfer.To most people you might as well have been a Hell’s Angel or a heroin addict as a surfer bitd.

You gotta eat it brau!I've tried the organic stuff in the past, nearly all of them as I love to try different wax, and they always fail me. Not sticky enough or doesn't last or doesn't adhere to my board enough. My wax needs dinosaur blood in it. Ultimate sticky.
It was gonna happen inevitably. The surfer/beach lifestyle was too idyllic to be ignored by the marketing and advertising suits.I took my lumps as a kid and was good with it. It hurt me back in the 80's and early 90's. I paid the price. Now every fvcking commercial has some kind of fluff surfer.
Ruined....
Your roots bro. My mom was a first grade school teacher. My dad was a PG&E control systems engineer. They were both so far away from surfing it wasn't even funny. They never got it. I perservered.A little different in Hawaii, every body always surfed. It's always been a beach day family thing. My uncles, aunties, cousins, grandpa surfed. Cultural thing. The only thing difference is now everybody rides Wavestorms. So many Wavestorms every where.
Wavestorms.. the Prius of the surfing world.A little different in Hawaii, every body always surfed. It's always been a beach day family thing. My uncles, aunties, cousins, grandpa surfed. Cultural thing. The only thing difference is now everybody rides Wavestorms. So many Wavestorms every where.
I am dissapointed by nature. Survival of the fittest. Sharks should be feeding wholeheartedly on this new, easy prey.Wavestorms.. the Prius of the surfing world.
There is no place for them in the line up around here yet they are everywhere.
I spent my life respecting my elders, and then get older and no one respect mAh Aw-Thor-It-Tay!...fear of older surfers etc...just take me out behind the barn and Yews me
