"World Longboard Champion" (LOL!) suspended. Nobody cares.

[GromsDad]

Why is there even a longboard tour? Why are we encouraging crutch riding? No disrespect with those who have genuine physical limitations that require them to use a longboard or those who only ride them in gutless waves.

The guy speaks critically of WSL and they suspend him? Yikes. I’m done watching their contests and giving them clicks.

i wonder the same things about shortboards - why bother with them


why care so hard about what boards people ride. maybe focus on how the wave is ridden

Why is there even a longboard tour? Why are we encouraging crutch any riding? No disrespect with those who have genuine physical limitations that require them to use a longboard or those who only ride them in gutless waves. And those that ride exactly what the wct rides and paddle battles and/or shoulder hops on every wave.
