It hasn’t been that long ago that Vegas was foreclosure city.Is this why Vegas housing is skyrocketing?

Is Kanoa Igarishi the most uninspiring surfer in WSL history?

I have no awareness of any of the people you're referring to. Most likely, the surfshop owner (Larry Beck (?)) bought the boards. So, I guess we rode more for the shop then. It was a long time ago. We were kids. Maybe try to calm down a little. This is not a zero sum situation.

Conner Coffin Flaunts Rail Game in New Cut - SURFER Magazine
There are few in the surf sphere with rail games as refined as Conner Coffin’s. Known for being a stylish lead foot, Coffin can string together just a couple of clips of him slicing and dicing along the North Shore’s 7-mile stretch and we’ll be entertained. Which is what he, Ryan Perty and Rip Curl…

Those are the people that worked for RJ, a few of them anyway. I’m still in contact with Ricky, they had to sell the place they had in Punta Mita for so long, couldn’t get down here, kids and grandkids weren’t using it... getting old. They’re out on the Ortega’s living off the grid.
I thought maybe we knew more of the same people, sorry if you didn’t take it in the spirt it was intended. I knew a Steve Boehne in HB, got boards from him early 70’s. Same guy? Probably not, you were a gulf coaster back then right?
One thing I learned hanging around the shop is that I have absolutely no talent, skill, whatever, in the design and construction of surfboards. I never made it past rudimentary ding repair, stuck some broken boards back together, you’ve been here, necessity’s the mother of invention, if not a great motivator.
Mickey M, Billy, and Terry Martin on break outside the business end of the business. Check the knees.
Surf is booming here, you should be in Baja.
Aloha
Kenny Tilton is Makani MacDonald's father. Rumor has it that Kenny surfed Teahupo'o in the 70s. Makani is one of the most stylish surfers I know personally. Good shaper too.
Not a walk back at all. I got free surfboards from Rick James surfboards, not from any other company. El Ogro said that Rick James never gave away any free surfboards, so I surmised that perhaps the shop owner bought them and gave them to us.....and the walk back.
I remember finding some of our original Hang Ten stuff in our warehouse, WHAT A HOOT. I contacted him in town and sent to a bunch of the tri fold wallets. Bunch here on the erBB got some also. Kanoa was a fixture at Blackies for years, one cool cat. Kio Inagak - AKA The Yellow Rat also gave him some great pointers.
Well what you think of me ain't really my business. But if you wanna know my opinion, that was one idiot comment you just made.This isn’t the first time I’ve thought you seem like a bit of an idiot.

Kanoa is not the most uninspiring surfer in WSL history. That title goes to Caroline Marks. More mechanical than Damien Hardman and stranger arm motions than Gary Elkerton. Every quirky turn she does looks like she rehearsed it in front of a mirror 10,000 times. Zero flow and I think in her mind she's thinking "This turn goes here" before she pulls the trigger to do anything. All too rehearsed. Is that too harsh for my fellow east coast surfer? I know that was blasphemy.
Have pro surfing styles gotten more monotonous as boards have become better/ easier to surf?
You could tell Andy, Kelly, Mick, Parko, Taj, etc apart.

When I seen him surfing he wasn't even better than the local rippers. Cola bros got some bombs this winter in Hawaii.
Back when the aforementioned group were still competing, I used to say the same thing about them compared to Gerry, BK, Ian, Rabbit, MR, Bertlemann....
