Parents with kids that surf...

...bee wax cut with soy?
Don't care if people want to pay for it. Not me though
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.
Word from the El Porto wireless is that these guys are non native to MB insta local Wavestorm riding kooks.

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.
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.
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".
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.
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 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....
I remember back in the 70's. Spent a whole afternoon surfing up at 4Mile. Coming home totally stocked. A really good day. Thinking about the good waves through the day.
Sitting down at the dinner table with my mom and dad. Happy and comfortable. and my mom says: "Why are your eyes so red??? Have you been smoking pot all day???" What do you do to that kind of attack? How do you explain the unexplainable to somebody who has already made thier mind up??? Fvck.... Kids are pampered little bitches these days.

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.
It was gonna happen inevitably. The surfer/beach lifestyle was too idyllic to be ignored by the marketing and advertising suits.
That being said Bob McKnight and every other surfer who tried to make a buck off surfing selling the lifestyle are equally to blame.
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.
Wavestorms.. the Prius of the surfing world.
There is no place for them in the line up around here yet they are everywhere.
I am dissapointed by nature. Survival of the fittest. Sharks should be feeding wholeheartedly on this new, easy prey.
We just had the first, fatal shark attack in NorCenCal in years. Sandollar beach. The closest beach to where I lived for 20 years. Upper Manresa campground.
Club Ed. He operates his surf school of this exact, same beach. Dozens of flounders.
On a daily/weekly basis. Who is responsible for this? Propagating surfing, feeding the local small GW's...
I spent my life respecting my elders, and then get older and no one respect mAh Aw-Thor-It-Tay!
I think I'm not gonna reap my share of the Social Security ponzi scheme either.
At least wax and hard surfboards don't scare me, for the most part.
