I think that’s a big one. They won’t ever feel vulnerable if they just say “ I’m cruising brahhhhh. Soft top fun. Don’t be sooo Aggro”

Guys riding Wavestorms at the better spots, why do you do it?
- Thread starter casa_mugrienta
- Start date
The “I’m just cruising“ crowd rides hardboards, wear Patagonia wetsuits that they don’t pay for, show up with five in a car and completely ruin your day, all the while telling you “the ocean is for everyone, bro.”
Hahaha. If solo donkeys or in a pack come to Bowls with bad manners it’s their day that will get ruined.
A lot of the Patagonia staff on Oahu, in town and Haleiwa are long time surfers that know how to act in a Hawaii lineup. Even the brand ambassadors that are from here are well behaved and respected.
Too bad that’s not true at Patagonia’s home base in Duffys neck of the woods. At least according to him.

What are the better spots you’re talking about? Name names.
(asking so I know not to show up with my softie to surf with a bunch of hardons in So Cali)
I’m with my compadre Pico on this. No matter what you ride you’re either in the way or you’re not.

I ride longer boards now and paddle to far away spots to stay away from people.
I go surfing to be away from people not sit in a pack like sardines and get pissed.
Took me almost 30 years to realize this

Jamie and Kalani are being paid to ride and promote them, Mick Fanning too. Big difference. They are in the top 1% of surfing talent around the world. Do you think they got that good besides their natural abilities riding soft tops?
BTW, dgaf what anyone rides, if you rip on it you rip and if you rip on it you're likely not putting other people in precarious situations.
Everyone out there is looking to have fun, going home in wheelchair due to someone else's surfboard is generally not in the plans, that's all.

I don’t see any softies in the way. You didn’t name the spots either. Do you really think that there are places in your current zone that weren’t well known before you were born? Name names means name names. Out the spots. I’d like to know where I wouldn’t be welcome on a softie. Like where you and your ilk would dis me to the extreme that I would be forced to leave.
I have soft tops mainly for the purpose of pulling into stupid shorebreak barrels where I don't want to risk breaking a real board. I am a mediocre surfer though. And oh man have I gotten the sh!t kicked out of me by hollow, backless dumpers just about every time I've tried it.
thry are getting paid because they were riding them before and got good on them. Cant speak for Kalani but JOB used to buy em from costco like everyone else. Not condoning riding them - but he was riding them before any one gave him a penny to do so.
