There was a good discussion last month on PostSurf concerning the correct classification of pro surfer species. A well-informed follower of the sport should be able to correctly label any pro based on their taxonomic rank. Surfing desperately needs a to emerge from the shadows and end debate about the order of pro surfer species. It would make the lives of hey-bro marketing guys so much easier.
Until our Linnaeus steps forward, we'll have to muddle through this effort on a case-by-case basis.
Today we'll take a look at a specialty niche occupied by one Adam Virs, who has marvelously adapted to his environment, forming a symbiotic relationship with a much more dominant pro predator: Dane Reynolds.
Surfing Mag recently ran a Dane Reynolds y. No surprise here, as Surfing basically runs some type of Dane Reynolds worship piece in every issue. Most are facilitated by William Sharp, who shoots photos of Dane near home, or in Central America, still near home, on quick strike missions with his "bros."
Adam Virs is one of these bros. I'm thankfully ignorant of the exact details concerning Mr. Virs, but as far as I can tell he's like the a creepy older cousin to the Ventura young guns - and now he has an entire "genus: photo pro" career simply by hanging out with Dane. Remember Dane's signature vid, First Chapter? Adam scored a section in it. That last year in Surfing? Virs went with Dane, and got shots, bro!
Can Adam Virs surf? Yes - like the demented lovechild of Jihad Khodr and Danny DeVito. Virs sticks airs, but waves his arms around more than . Take a look:
.
Heartless cynics who don't believe in friendship might scoff that the logical quesion is, "What does Virs do for Reynolds that makes the relationship symbiotic, instead of parasitic?"
But my only question is, "WHERE can I get a showerbomb???" That thing is SICK. Bro.
What does Virs do for Reynolds that makes the relationship symbiotic, instead of parasitic?”
But my only question is, “WHERE can I get a showerbomb???” That thing is SICK. Bro.
I believe you’ve answered your own question.
so virs should bow out of photo trips/sessions with one of the most dynamic surfers around because the blogosphere thinks he’s a coat-tail rider? should he have asked for his parts in ‘first chapter’ to be edited out because of his benigni-esque arm flail?
i’m stoked for him and for dane for spreading around a little good fortune when he can. wouldn’t you do the same for your friends?
Virs: Short, pudgy, agro.
Dane: Tall, skinny, mellow.
Virs accentuates all the positives in Dane. It’s like the über-hot chick’s ugly friend, or the Arnold/Danny relationship in “Twins.” In return for his grotesque presentation next to Mr. Reynolds, Virs gets to go on cool trips with his ‘bro.’ Symbiosis, indeed.
jerm said: wouldn’t you do the same for your friends?
obvious dude says: Does LS have any friends?
Adam is a pint-sized fat aggro dickhead. Biggest ignorant loudmouth in the lineup ever, and he’s ruined multiple sessions for me just by running his chubby mouth constantly. He can definitely pull airs, I’ve seen him do a ton of them, but he really does look like shit when he’s doing them. Horrible style.
That shower thing (depending on the discharge pressure) would sell also as the end all after surf parking lot enema kit. Looks like it has a one size fits all head.
angry surfers need our love/money/worship
just as much-
that was a pretty weak video clip only because i can do everything he did in it and i suck…. maybe i should hang out with dane and then i can get sponsored or better yet maybe i should hang out with luke davis or brother and ride on their coat tails… or maybe they would just kick my ass…
surfing alone never makes a good surf session. we always need someone to see us perform, see us make an air, barrel, critical turn. even if it’s the impoverished third world kid on the beach who can’t afford the white man’s toys to join him playing out in the surf. a barrel wouldn’t be that great a barrel if there were no one around to see us thread through it.
The same casee could be made for the Cory Lopez/Alek Parker relationship. Cory falling off the WCT and being a photo pro is the best thing to ever happen to his Oneil teammate, Alek. Since then, every video piece or photo piece of Cory, Alek is there.
Adam Virs is rad. He’s rips and he’s a really good human. What the fuck did he ever do to you Lewis? Pretty random that you would just call Adam out of the blue and ruin him on your industry insider blog-zine.
Whoa, I just got pissed for a second. Sorry everybody.
this
that was pretty random…
but the ‘Roberto Benigni accepting an oscar’ reference / video had me dying
i want a showerbomb
I think Cote just invented the next level of pro bro - Cote is to Virs et al. as Virs is to Reynolds. Other guys do stuff and Cote gets to tag along and “report” (if “report” were to somehow mean post fluffy pr videos on TWS) it to the rest of us.
Lewis, I don’t know whether to be flattered or disappointed.
On May 10th, I commented on your blog:
“Think back and take a snap-shot of Roberto Benigni hyperventilating, O-facing, and proximity face-licking as he won his “Life is Beautiful Oscar”.
Superimpose upon that image a miniature version Bradbury’s mechanical hound, with Roberto wearing the eight legged venomous monstrosity like a sombrero.
You have just visualized Heiarii Williams’ contest photo.
Hide the winners podium with the books, Montag.”
http://postsurf.com/2009/05/10/comment-of-the-week-death-to-surfers-update/
Poaching from commentators? I expect better, that’s why I read Postsurf.
Maybe tomorrow you’ll pen a hilarious narrative in which you describe an encounter with Borat’s sister? Or, tell a tangential tale in which an obscure 90’s pro winds up fucking the eye socket of recently deceased (insert pop culture personality), ending the yarn with how said pro surfer’s forceful ejaculation may have dubiously caused some other absurd event in another part of the world?
Of course doing either of the aforementioned possibilities would put either Mark into hysterics or evoke a comment of respectful appreciation from Assphlegmy.
That being said, I do like today’s post, especially because it induced Cote to do some Benigni-esque arm flailing as he rushed to Virs’ defense.
well who should be dane be hanging out with? the young guns? virs is the local older brother from dane’s area. dane and the other groms probably looked up to adam for years and who knows, without adam’s encouragement we may not have dane
i completely agree, adam virs is an OBNOXIOUS FUCKING KOOK
I think Dane should find a washed up Rock Star to hang out with, like Kelly!
Jerm, Saltnuts, and Cote,
The heavy flow tampons are on isle 13.
Lighten up, ladies.
Do you all write angry letters to SNL for the way that they portray celebrities and politicians?
Read the website’s title. Look up “unfiltered”.
Virs was on lost way before dane emerged. True he’s fat and his style isn’t the best but I’ve yet to see any video part of lewis samuels.
He’s hangin on to surfing by any means necessary just like lewis but instead of using words — he actually surfs and his friends surf instead of going to poetry slams . . .
all we’ve seen from lewis is a few vague photos, shot from shore with disposable camera and some vague descriptions about how good a barrel he thought he got.
radical!
Cote is a nice guy.
Virs is a nice guy.
Lewis is a nice guy.
Erik, plagarism is rampant aboard this charter, consider it a compliment.
Stu is a nice guy.
The world is so much more pleasant with my friends from Phizer stoking me on some new rose colored glasses….eeerrr tablets.
Jiggy is a nice guy.
Jamon Bagel is a nice breakfast.
OOooops, Mark is a nice guy.
Smyrna is a fucking barney, but still cooler than Regulator.
Trauzer is a nice…. cock.
Dave the Mailman is too nice.
Damn, Shawn Briley is killing it switchfoot in that video of the dredge.
Mike is an asshole.
Virs =
I don’t blame anyone who can suck a dollar out of the industry. My question is why the industry pays all these guys who may rip at the local beach but get slaughtered by a mid-pack WCT surfer.
Once again, if a surfer can’t do it in a contest, he/she can’t do it: videos lie & photos lie more. I watched an interview recently of a BMX video producer. He said one trick took a rider 167 tries - videos should have disclaimers saying how many attempts a trick took to pull.
Virs is a loud, fat, little cocky asshole. Thanks for calling him out Lewis…
@Erik: while i wouldn’t call my post “angry” by any stretch, I may very well be bleeding vaginally. i DID write a letter to SNL requesting justin timberlake reprise his role as ‘Peg’ in the next ‘Target lady’ sketch. that dude is FUNNY.
“Adam Virs is a really good human.” Really? Probably because he kisses Cote-tail when he’s around you, I bet if you surveyed the average surfers in Ventura he’d unanimously win most obnoxious loud-mouthed asshole in the lineup.
He surfed well in Lost Across America ten years ago in his first section before he was a fat, obnoxious ball of a lard. His style mostly looks bad because he’s fat.
Great piece, that guy needs to get out of the media.
Anyone remember back when Lost was cool and Adam Virs had a sick section in one of their vids? I think it was Lost across America? Don’t remember him being quite as chunky and arm wavy in it, actually I’m pretty sure I thought he ripped at the time?
“Anyone remember back when Lost was cool…”
No.
That Adam Virs is GOIN ORFF!!!! GOIN ORFFF I tell you!
F. Murray,
brilliant.
“”Can Adam Virs surf? Yes - like the demented lovechild of Jihad Khodr and Danny DeVito”"
thats not fair, DeVito didnt really fat up til he hit his early 40s
We feel that we have just been the victim of viral marketing por la Showerdong. Is Lewis on the payroll?
Anyways, we thank Showerdong for the idea from which we will design a much better and more marketable ’surf shower’. At $299 lovingjewishcouple will buy exactly zero of these. We believe the portable shower concept will find some interest among the Noriega St. weekend warriors, however most of this market will encounter space constraints within their Range Rovers and forego purchase. Further, we see Showerdong making little market penetration in the bottom to middle ‘blood from a turnip’ surf market at that price. We expect Showerdong will continue in the red until they can redesign to drastically reduce their production costs and end price so they may better compete with a 5 gallon bucket & lid. We’re initiating coverage with a big fat “No Buy” rating.
Follow link to pump and build your own. Also see West Marine for better deals.
Virs is so fat because I pumped the poor lad’s gullet full of my trauzerchowder.
lovingjewishcouple RULES
Virs is so fat he needs two PWC’s to tow him into waves.
And his leash is made of whole Twinkies and a tasty 12-piece KFC variety bucket.
LS I would love to get your take on the “surf industry music scene”. The bands that brands push (doesn’t lost actually have signed bands?), the Jack Jonson / Donavan thing. And why (in my opinion) surf flick music usually sucks.
Judging by the way Virs surfs, hammy thinks he should wear a helmet. All the time.
this dude is degfinitely fat. anyway. someone on here must knwo charlie smith????? if you do and don’t have much on could you please punch that fascile racist fuck for me. TA.
this dude is definitely fat. anyway, someone on here must knwo charlie smith????? if you do and don’t have much on could you please punch that fascile racist fuck for me. TA.
@ M: ALL music made today generally sucks. Why shouldn’t brands sponsor/sign/promote bands? They do it w/ surfers who shouldn’t be paid. it’s all about pretending to be a hip, alternative, young group of surfers/partyers & not an actual corporation w/ stockholders/profits/etc. I have a friend who works for B-bong & never sees the light of day. So much for surf cos. allowing employees to surf when its good - or maybe only the execs get to do that.
watch commercial featuring adam virs. this is actually semi-funny, at least at the beginning. .
Call it as you see it LS. Every star needs yes men and an entourage. Virs is a combination of Turtle and Johnny Drama to Dane’s Entourage.
Have you ever watched a new baby, and how their hands have minds of their own, and keep flapping around and punching the baby in the face, and the baby is freaking out because it’s being attacked by these things that are attached to its body, and there’s nothing the baby can do about it, and you have to wrap the baby up real tight ’cause those hands just keep flailing all over the place and upsetting the baby?
Also it is a fat baby.
Virs is so fat he had to file a missing persons report on his cock. Virs is so fat that the cock in question shoots wads of boston creme
pudgy claimers ruined surfing.
Virs is so fat –
that he once broke his leg landing a big air and gravy poured out.
that when his girl pounds him with her strap-on, she has to roll his ass in flower and aim for the wet spot.
that when he walks in reverse, a loud BEEP BEEP BEEP alarm sounds.
that even Jabba the Hut was like, “Bro, easy on grizzle. You’re getting man boobs, dude.”
Non-Iberico jamon actually said something funny. Not only does this guy surf like Jordy looks, he’s perfected the fat dude walk and impressively transferred this to water. For this alone, kudos. How any dude filming this style travesty can hold the camera still is anyone’s guess.
His style reminds me of Britney Spears getting out of a sports car without underwear on. You’re horrified, but still can’t look away.
Jimmy, remember everything cool that trauzer just said? Well, you ruined it.
I can’t stand a loud mouth in the surf.
The guy is definitely fat.
However, you cannot deny that he rips. Probably better than 95% of those posting here.
Anyways, he is so fat that he shows up on ships’ radars when he surfs.
Virs is so fat his new sponsor is goodyear…he’s so fat that anytime he hits the water its low tide all over again… He’s so fat that navy fighter pilots mistake him for the uss kitty hawk when he surfs
Fucking Samuels, I’m gonna sit on your face and flagulate until brown gravy oozes out…oozefest 2009 bitch!
He’s so fat he once landed a huge air and wiped out a japanese fishing village with a tsunami
You want to talk about “forming a symbiotic relationship with a much more dominant pro predator” how about Lewis Samuels and pro surfing in general? He’s attempting to ride the backs of people that surf far better than him. He’s like Perez Hilton’s slightly less gay little brother that learned how to surf.
@Growler
If I surfed like Virs I would purchase a Drimmel tool and use it to remove part of my frontal lobe in hopes of improving my style.
Adam Virs is an anagram of: “I am Dr. Vas”
It is also an anagram of: “Ram Davis”
It is also an anagram of “Visdrama”
Virs is so fat he once crapped a twelve foot long polska keilbasa with saurkraut, mustard, and potato salad
Dude, I’m Adam Virs!
@Reality Check:
You really don’t get it, do you?
It’s okay, just throw yourself into a tire fire and save the rest of us the trouble of reading your comments from now on.
@reality check
Why not try autoerotic asphyxiation-it feels really good, so they tell me.
I am feeling somewhat insecure after hearing of Virs multi-course defecation. How the fuck is a sandwich supposed to compete with that shit?
Reality check is right and it just made me feel worse about myself for reading all this shit.
Reality check is right. But on the other hand, you got to give it up for Lewis. He can’t surf, but he desperately wants to make a living at it somehow. Surfers are the masters of the free ride. So Lewis has come up with a scam. He wants to be the shock jock of pro surfing. More power to him. It’s a good trick if he can manage it. He makes a living off of surfing while not being able to surf and without getting his hands dirty. Right on! Genius. I wish I’d thought of it.
It happened on a cold, rainy, december morning back in 2007-a portly figure darkened the entrance to the garden state bagels.
It was Virs-in frenzy, he proceded to mow down 4 dozen jamon bagels, poor bastards didn’t have a chance.
Aww gee shagolly…I think reality check has an extra leather beltm
@Shagolly & Dudebro:
So, by your third grade logic, you’re willing accomplisses in this scam. Congratulations! I hope your Publisher’s Clearing House applications are in the mail as well.
But since you’re ’stuck’ reading this site with an apparent gun to your head; since when does your personal level of surfing make you more qualified to comment on the passing scene of professional and free surfing? If you want to read really rad, ripping pro surfers blow verbal smoke up each other’s arses, go read and stay on Surfline or Transworld. If you want to sit on this site, and continually snipe away with non-intelliglble drivel, at least make it entertaining.
I’m not looking forward to dealing with my developing carpal-tunnel Syndrome as a result of scrolling past your shrapnel.
A Showerbomb?
With two turns per wave, that vid was more like a shower bore.
Oh yea. Virs?
Your job when you roll with a pro ho…
someone has to carry the hay.
We are now less smart after having read the last 20 or so posts.
Hell yes I’m a willing participant! I’m rooting for Lewis to go all the way with this. I think it’s great. I love it. Watching you guys lap it up is even better. But then, I root for the guys running from the cops in high speed chases as well. The fact that he can’t surf worth a shit and doesn’t know what he’s talking about make this all the better. It’s like selling the London Bridge to senile little old ladies. Bravo!
@ dudebro
You are exciting my pulsating pip.
Dudebro surfs worse than Lewis and can’t write as well either. That makes him a fag. Not a jew fag, but a fag nonetheless.
Ah yes. The homoerotic fantasies of prepubescent surfer boys craving acceptance are so very amusing. I feel your angst! It must be terribly hard when little fat boys who can surf take away your waves and call you mean things. Does it sting a little bit when you can only respond by whimpering inwardly, and giving vent to your widdle hurt feewings from behind the safety of your keyboard in your room? Ahhhhh. It’s SO sad! Maybe someday you can have mommy and daddy buy you a spine! Then you’ll be able to stand up for yourself when mean people like Bad Adam laugh at your funboard! Until then, Lewis is your champion! Nobody is going to laugh at you ever again!
lol!
All right. So I lied!
lmao!
Real men use their real names here.
The cravings of prepubescent surfer boys? Little fatboys that can surf? Dudebro’s a fag.
Virs quite clearly surfs good despite his arm moovements mabye you should compare your surfing with his Lewis you kook!!! He must have just a little bit of something you wish you had.
Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling…
Virs doesn’t really have anything up on the rippers at a local beachie anywhere in the world. I reckon there’s a guy who isn’t spon-oed who’s got everything he does in their bag of tricks at every beachie from here to Sydney and probably even between San Diego and San Francisco, though you california wankers never really figured out how to stop flapping your arms in the wind. Seems like the Florida guys worked out the kinks….what’s taking all you cali-forn-i-a lugs so long to keep yer wings in tight?
Fuck you Mike! How can you call me a barney and then kiss Mark and Stu’s ass?
BTW I remember Virs from that Lost video. And who can blame him for hanging on Dane’s coat tails?
I cruise with Gorkin all the time.
I love how Taj’s style resembles a scoliosis ridden octogenarian. And Mick Fanning breaks new ground with every ‘lightening quick’ cut-back he unleashes for the umpteenth time on a wave. Or, was that Ace Buchan? Or, was that Kai Otton? Jeezus, you people all surf the same.
I hope that someday, California surfers can surf like you people.
Oh well, at least we can all agree that Virs is a fat pig who surfs like every Bra-Boy and Coolie Kid who’s dream of enlisting in the ‘QS is merely a Vegemite fart away.
@Smyrna
But I said you were cooler than REgulator… the little victories that make up a comment of the weak. Score board Orlando!!!! You guys are so rad, let us in on your next discovery. And fuck yeah, church and Jesus are so fuckking cool… plant the flag (confederate) on your monster truck and load the shotgun! Hell yeah!
Damn Straight UMerica, Word.
How can you be so obtuse with PostMark as a mentor????!!!!
SmyrnaJeff Meant to say:
“I cruise with a Merkin all the time.”
No more french fries for DudeBro…
Jeff, are you the bottom or top when you “cruise with Gorkin”?
Don’t ask, don’t tell, Smyrna. Please don’t confide in Mark, you’lll be ostracized from the church! Homosexulaity is only allowed for the priests. Everyone else should feel accountable and guilty.
Or that statuatory rape thingy. Legitimacy at the business end of Trauzersnake Rottomouth. A ceremony, so to speak, rejoice.
I just hope all my teeth are straight by the time the Chinese turn our remote island into Guantanamo x57.
Virs was in Lost Across America. The best part is his song, I can’t believe everyone is so obsessed with the bad fat jokes they forget, this is the ultimate description of Virs. Its the guttermouth song called “F$(* you mom” where they talk about throwing a phone at his moms c*&* and just generally being a bitch. This song sums up Virs better than all 86 previous posts combined.
lewis you are a mean prick
correction. lewis you are an envious mean prick
@ Mike
In the words of Blasphemy Rottmouth or Mario Van Peebles jr. or one of these fucking commenters.
” I am not gay. I don’t cuddle afterwords.”
How can you people say that what Lewis says is mean/wrong? He just got Adam Virs more publicity than Virs has gotten for himself in the last 10 years! I never heard of the guy before. I never knew Fox made wetsuits. Now I have and I do. Mission Accomplished Lewis.
The argument surrounding who famous/extremely talented people should keep in their company goes far beyond surfing. If you really want to see talented people surrounded by mediocrity, take a look at any famous rapper over the last 20 years. (Relevant case study: M.C. Hammer, his rise and subsequent bankruptcy.) Having never met Mr. Reynolds or the lovable “Virs” it would be foolhardy for me to comment on the inner workings of their relationship but a few conclusions can be drawn. First, Judging by the clip provided, Virs does indeed surf like an epileptic on speed but he also seems to be lacking any major commercial sponsorship which leads one to believe that, in light of what we all know the pros are making after having read the famous article on STAB, Virs really DOESN’T make important fiscal gains just by hanging out with Mr. Reynolds. In fact, it would be surprising if he were even able to cover his general expenses. Secondly, and more importantly, he and Dane probably enjoy each other’s company. It’s easy to take for granted that just because Mr. Reynolds is one of the better surfers in the world, he should also hang out with the other better surfers int eh world. Can you imagine Mr. Reynolds trying to relax and have a beer with Adriano De Souza? What would they talk about? How much they both love to compete and claim shitty waves?
It fits with our notion of pro surfers as commodities that they should all hang out together and compare notes on what its like to be super talented and over paid. But, at the end of the day, they don’t really have much in common except for being uncommonly good at riding waves. From what people have said in the above comments, its doesn’t sound like Virs is the most pleasant gentleman in California, but, hey, we’ve all got one of those friends, right?
Trauzergrasssnake, you are the funniest guy you have ever heard.
hahaha this is hillarious. not only is he fat and cant surf, but he’s a douche bag. kudos
Justin Timberlake wrote “Sexy Back” in Virs’ words.
Mike, I’ll take “too nice” as a compliment! Thanks! See, I’m still here, just commenting with moderation… Au revoir.
First, Virs is the Man. All the fat jokes are funny, but that’s all they are, jokes. I think Virs was fat when he took the trifecta as well. Oh nobody mentioned that??? Weird…Second, I like Turtle…I am Turtle. And I’ll hang with Virs and swill beers with him any time…
I’ve never seen so many haters, that don’t even know Adam, or Dane, or anything about them and/or their relationship. Don’t take it out on Adam cos you farktards don’t have the balls to say how you feel in the line-up, instead you sit in the comfort of your home talking shite. Idiots, all of you! It’s not hard to find Adam, so put your money where your mouth is so shut the eff up already. And he still rips. Stop hating!
I agree, Virs has been a little f**k lately, but to create an entire blog on the little teletubby is pretty harsh. Ever had a beer with him ? You’ll piss yourself !
It’s funny how all these haters can talk shit about someone they don’t know on a personal level. I bet all the haters talking shit here couldn’t talk shit to Virs in person or surf better than him. Yeah, Virs can be a loud mouth ass in the line-up which I don’t agree with but, hey that’s who he is. Even though he is fat he still does rip over most of you guys. Good point made, he was fat when he took the Macy’s Tri-Fecta that should say something. Maybe he surfs with flayling arms to help keep his balance since he’s over weight.
Virs does pretty good at making a living from his sponsors like fox and electric for being a fatass surfer. Hrrrmmmm… why’s that?
Drinking beer with Virs is a riot, he’s one funny fucker if you know him and he can be a dick if you don’t. Dane is one of the most down to earth, mellowest, most humble cats there is. Virs isn’t riding Daner’s coat tails and they are good friends and have been way before Daner ever made a name for himself. Virs is more like an older brother figure who hangs out and surfs Dredge with Dane and friends which are foot steps away from both their homes. Whether it’s surfing, drinking beer, BBQing, chilling and going over surf footage at Mini’s, Dane and Virs are friends and have been for quite sometime.
As for the Showerbomb… I own one, it does kick ass, it give’s me a warm shower after each session, cleans the sand off the kiddies and I will admit it is a bit pricy, I did get a discount and have no problem supporting local friends and their endevors. That’s how we do it in Ventura. BTW I ain’t no jew but someone who paid cost for it and use it for camping and cleaning my KX250 and showering off before the long drive home after riding out in the desert all day.
Any of you haters got any vidz posted of you rippin it up, post the links and back yer shit up with your surfing. If not shut the fuck up and question your existance and abilites and stop worring about other people’s weight, friendships and surfing style.
As you were…
It’s a shame your “website” is turning into a shit throw for internet tough guys. Virs surfs better that 99% of the cunts that will ever visit this “blog”. The guy has multiple national titles under his belt. He won the Macy’s Trifecta two years back. You don’t like that YouTube comercial? You might as well write off Lewis Samuels as a journalist if you read that 500 word rant on Freddy P. and BI being lovers. Virs has been more succesfull as a pro surfer than you will ever be as a writer, Lewis. You’re all pussys. If Virs gave any of you shit in the water, it’s most likely because you were acting out of line. The guy makes a living from surfing and has more fun than any of you fucks, and you’re jealous. Next time you see Virs, tell him what’s on your mind, pussy-footers. I’d love to see a short, fat, Danny Devito look alike kick the shit out of you. Would you “blog” about that? Idiots.
Wow, did Virs snake all of you guys, maybe hurt your feelings in some way? Talk about needing tampons…most of you guys sound like a pissed off ex-girlfriend on a rant to her other PMSing girlfriends at a girls only night out. TAMPAX anyone???
Lewis is a joke…
Virs undoubtedly surfs better than 99% of the jokers posting crap on this ridiculous site. Come down to Ventura and I’m sure he’d be happy to show you.
Most of you sound like a bunch of high school chicks who got called off a wave by Virs. Dane grew up around Virs and that whole crew in Ventura. Thats whats great about guys like Dane, he doesn’t give a fuck about making sure he’s with the quik young guns waterworld tour. He’d rather go on trips with his real friends. Sounds like Lewis has a hard on for Virs cause he still makes a paycheck without having contest pressures and stuff. What you haters don’t see is Virs flying around the country with the Ventura groms to the pro jr’s and NSSA stuff to help them and coach them. He gives a fuck about his community. So what, he still makes a paycheck from surfing, good on him. Nothing like internet bullys. Most of you clowns will probably see him surfing sooner or later and sure as hell not have anything to say to his face….drink one for me Virs! haha
Lewis, I actually used to enjoy reading your Power Rankings on occasion, but they got pretty wishy washy and you got fired so… However, like the current recession, your stock plummeted and lies in limbo. I hope it returns as I always love a fellow UCSD grad, but, I think your 15 minutes are up. You should probably get some industry etiquette lessons from fellow 805er and UCSD alum Evan Slater. I’m sure he’d be happy and able to give you an industry makeover. Sure go ahead and talk trash, but unfortunately (well, for you) all of us “bros” in the 805, from Dane to Virs, Evan, myself, and so many more from grom, recreational surfers to our other WCT players, ARE BROTHERS and great friends. It’s a shame you may not even have any, or do you? We’d love to have you down for a session if you’d like to see how it works. Maybe you could show us all how a “C” grade writer gets his material published and then show us how to put on reef booties so our little bro toes don’t get scratched. I’d start working on an apology if I were you…to say the least, but good work pissing off “the bros” donkey. -Sean Hayes fellow bro pro dude
Let me know when you want to come down. -Purps
From:
Lewis: I’d like to see my technical surfing progress. I’m still interested in doing airs and improving my backside tuberiding. And I’m always trying to surf smoother and more stylish. I concentrate on trying to draw different lines and unique transitions; how I set up turns, how I set up tubes. -Was this for real??? LOL
Enough already…I’m gettin some beer and goin up to the Wood and kick it with the boys.
WOW! This is the first time I have ever posted a post. Virs told me to give the site a look. I dont know Lewis but I do know that he aint going to be welcomed anywhere in the 805, or anywhere in San Diego as well. The whole Sector crew has Virs and all the Ventura Families backs for years now and I just really fear for Lewis. Man you really just fucked yourself. The power of the internet and how to ostracize yourself is shown in perfection here at your site. What a waste of time.

WHAT INSPIRES YOUR SURFING ON A DAILY BASIS?
Adam Virs: Knowing that I get paid to do it
I wonder if Virs will stop surfing if he loses his sponsers?
I didn’t know that Kirby Puckett knew how to surf.
i live in oxnard and have surfed with virs, purple, and all of the pierpont locals for years. dane comes along and gets noticed. local boy does good. same thing happened here with timmy curran. they both have older guys they looked up to, and they all go on trips together. virs recently killed it at a place known as a gnarly spot. he beat a lot of full timers out there. he’s a funny as fuck guy, and people who hate him, or are even bothered by him crack me up. i am sure he just won’t shut up so people stay away from him. it gets crowded up here. stay down south and find some other dudes to chug. talentless plagerizers suck dead hippies ass.
virs is a great guy. lewis, you just wrote a “get kicked out of the water in the 805″ warrant, that many of us here will be happy to serve. you’re a douche. use that showerbomb on your red chapped little pussy. it must hurt to sit and write such drivel with sand in your vagina.

Virs is a genuinely good person who happens to rip. Way too many haters on this post. He is a no bullshit guy who speaks his mind…much more commendable than the output from these sniveling tip-toeing pussywillows with heaps to say online only. The man always brings the good times; Dane, as well as many other folk who actually know Virs, know this well. Furtermore Dane was most likely inspired by Virs as a grommet growing up in Ventura.
Everyone hatin on virs can suck it, that guy is super cool and looks out for all the youngsters in town. adam hasnt had the easiest life but hes earned every bit of hype he gets in the mags or videos, the guy rips and will always be around ventura. so stop talkin shit, Him and dane are really good friends fo real thats why hes always with him
shame on you for talking bad about adam virs-if you don’t know and obviously you don’t the surfers in ventura are a very tight knit group and they encourage each other , have fun surfing and they have each others back.we are proud of adam and he is a great guy if you really know him. dane grew up surfing with these local guys and he has remained friends with them. in ventura we are loyal. so if you want to talk about someone do it to their face. i am sure adam’s friends would love to kick your ass!
