What'd you get?I just YOLO'd two boards from John. Had my board meeting with him today via WhatsApp. Seems like a super knowledgeable, humble and genuine nice guy. Was really good to get into details with him. Stoked to support him.
Loved that, too. "Just because you're riding a twin doesn't mean you should just automatically throw your hands in the air."My favorite line in when mic says something lime just cause it has two fins doesnt mean you just throw your hands up in the airmick hates the jazz hands hipsters
Wait. WTF? You don’t??Loved that, too. "Just because you're riding a twin doesn't mean you should just automatically throw your hands in the air."
SO GOOD.
Says Mick, the guy who has inspired countless unco gimps to spastically flail around on high performance shortboards while attempting to replicate his high speed hunched over monkey pumping for the benefit of an imaginary judging panel on their way to surfing stardom.My favorite line in when mic says something lime just cause it has two fins doesnt mean you just throw your hands up in the airmick hates the jazz hands hipsters
6'6 Double Bump (diamond nose and tail) with either a twinzer or quad setup - gonna decide that on Monday.What'd you get?
That would be Taylor Knox or Joel Parkinson. Dane is still doing things "everyman surfer" can't even wrap their minds around let alone do. "Everyman Surfer" would do well to watch and emulate Parkinson and KnoxDane is kind of like the best everyman surfer.
I do like that Mick can articulate what's up. I watched the Dane one for the first time last night. I love Dane - he's an 805 homie - but damn he cannot explain what he feels. He even said at one point that he couldn't describe what he's feeling in his muscle memory. A board he looked like he was ripping on he said was terrible.I actually like mick... or at least I don't have any issues with him and I appreciate that he's articulate about what works and doesn't work.
But damn this is one boring E.A.S.T. / Stab in the dark. I feel like there just aren't enough board to make it interesting and the waves suck.
