I should have a surf with LifeOnMars, help him get out of that prejudice hole he dug himself into.
Curious, Moana looks soooo much prettier on the shot of this video than she does on any of her IG posts. weird stuff.
I think it's funny how when you put women in a competitive setting doing something that is masculine in nature, they start to act like men (awful).
Some people look better in person than they do in digital photos.
I can't take a decent photo.
My driver's license photo, I look like Mitch Mconell.
*When I Zoom I totally look like the cryptkeeper.
But you should see me in person.
STUNNING!
I thought that too.

It's blatantly obvious.
That's what's so hilarious about this whole thing.
It's really easy to get frustrated in a really competitve crowded lineup when you're not getting any waves. Then an opportunity comes through after you've been sitting there an hour, but you end up a hair too deep and the guy a little ways down the line takes it and you're thinking "WTF! I was burned! Asshole snowballed me! etc" but really it was you, and you were out of position and someone else went.
For Moana it was this, then injury, then the frustration of every surfer on the planet convening on the North Shore every winter, which would drive me insane.
I empathize with her.

I expect some disagreement here but imho people would be more civil with each other if they’d been solidly punched in the grill a time or two in their developing years.
I had a friend not get into a fight until he was 43 when his neighbor attacked him.
He was in a state of disbelief and he froze.
I was exposed to low level violence that finnigan talks about from the first first grade and was engaging in it all the way through til I left high school.
What that does is teach you that violence is on the table. It's an option. It really informs your decision making.
Also the awareness that there are a lot of people out there who can kick the sh!t out of you.
Remember the part in the PT book when he’s in Oaxaca and they talk about how less people get cut when everyone carries a big knife? What would the social media equivalent be?
Back to the subject - breathe holding contest?
still the vast majority try to surf like it's a CT heat, there are some cool mellow ones also but usually not the norm. it's ingrained into their culture and they can't seem to help themselves.
just speaking from past experience and what i've seen around the world.
When I was in El Salvador I was told everyone has a machete. And it was the same deal. No body is looking for trouble but if you want it . . . .
Social media emboldens cowards to lob grenades over fences.

Who said she needed a blocker?
Blocking game is played all the time, idea is just to get more waves in a crowd.
And there are plenty of A-grade pros in So. Cal that could outpaddle her.
And no, not Rincon.
Point of order; the issue is trying to surf like it's a QS heat circa early 2000s. If they surfed like CT heats, there'd be no problem, ever, because everyone would get priority.
There is a guy here who coaches people in the water and the vibe is always, "we're trying to work here" like they have priority.
And I'm like, I'm just surfing for fun in front of my house.

I found that was an exploitable issue when living in SolCal -- lots of sh!t talking, few broken noses. Street fighters don't make threats . . .I'm no badass but have had my ass kicked enough so that getting punched in the face doesn't freak me out.
You've never seen a girl fight until you've seen southern Black chicks throw down.
I'm just messing with you, I know too well how many brazilians can be. Still on my last session I had this very scary looking local giving me tips when he saw me struggling on a few waves. Brazilians can be annoying but I doubt you will EVER find more receptive people.
If you ever came to surf in Brazil I'm sure you would feel welcome on the surf spots (something that will never ever happen at any break in the entire state of califuckingfornia). Many guys on the erbb have visited and know this to be true (just don't expect to go to one of the 2 point breaks in the entire country and have an easy time).
This. Too many people especially rich entitled haoles think that it isnt an option.
