biggest ive seen it was Hurricane Marie. Still a million kooks. Biggest Ive surfed it was a bout head high. The wave stands up better but its still forgiving. Worse consequence is maybe getting caught inside and steamrolled by alot of white water but thats about it. Most dangerous thing about the place is the crowd.

Obviously the yapper had no training because it should be fairly obvious to anyone who does that your friend trains.
Rickson BB? Taught with Kron? Your friend has fuckked up ears.
Thanks. Isn't he closing in on something like 58 years old by now? That's a lot of rage to sustain.
When I was a kid it was much more direct. A slap or a dunk. Then you got sent in. And you went. Until you got big enough to punch back. That got interesting.
Oddly, they look pretty normal! His black belt test story with Rickson is pretty nuts though.
That's what he called it. It sounded to me like a sustained assault haha
It's a perfect point so it's pretty easy to ride and to get out. On a big day the beginners are gone but there are enough intermediates to clog the line up with a hundred people. At low tide you can get tubes, even at First. You can actually get more than one on a wave. But there are no sketchy ledging take offs or shallow reef. I have snapped a board over at Kiddie Bowl (second point) on a big day. I tried duck diving a low tide, over head bowl, the lip landed square on my shoulders and my board crumpled in my hands. Other than that the only real danger is the crowd...and your own high blood pressure as frustration with the crowd sets in.
Ah. some gyms do “belt tests”. Usually it’s at “affiliate” gyms where the the main guy (in this case, Rickson) isn’t present with the students that much so they come in and see where their level is at by smashing the fuck out of them.
I just got my black belt on saturday. I roll with my instructors every day so they just decided that it was time.
Congrats!
This "test" apparently happened in Rickson's backyard and happened under the guise of "come over and help me move some stuff."
Thanks. Feels weird still.
Sounds very…
…Brazilian.
The owner of my gym (Brazilian guy) will ask, “can you help me with class tonight?” but what he really means is, “you are teaching class tonight.”
He’s been fired.

Well-known Malibu local loses job after surf incident posted to social media is seized upon by righteous mob: "This is a 'man' who has run for City of Malibu Council, intimidating a young person and aggressively damaging their property in full view of the public."
“Surf rage” etc. etc. has become quite the topic in these the triggered years of our lives and, thanks to social media, surf ragers are vociferously named and shamed. Take a recent incident in Malibu where well-known local Andy Lyon and a young single-finner became entangled. In a video posted...

Hardcore locals like Sarlo and Lyon bitch about how things changed while they're both real estate agents. lol
same in Montauk, and probably every desirable surf town. "If you don't live here, don't surf here, unless you are buying a 5 million dollar home from me, in that case I'll give you and your family free surf lessons all summer. Also- make sure to buy my friends' <insert costal surf town name here> beer/hat/drone-photo etc"
hahahaha. The amount of $$ some old school Montauk loc's make teaching surfing to hedge fund families is not to be believed. I met Terry Sims one time out at Ditch and he was teaching a supermodel to surf - flew out from Calif apparently to give her very high dollar lessons. She was not the least bit nice.
Yup.
Many many years ago in the early days of my posting hear I made a thread about this.
“Buy a house from me or use a service I provide and you get instaloc status.”
Im like, look, the Internet revolution is upon us, your beach town is about to be raped and pillaged unless someone starts to knock these cocksuckers around.
And here we be.
$500 for a 90 minute session if you are famous. $1000 if you are Hedgie
true enough in Montauk too now. It will get you a decent house on a quarter acre maybe. no pool, needs work, smells of dead fish on an August afternoon
Teenage boys have no fear of men now, not even their fathers.
It's the end of an era. Surfing is now a rich man's sport. The seaside slums and blue collar beach towns are gone.
