Comment of the Week comes from the Bad Vibe Bob, a shadowy, notorious voice of dissent known to frequent surf sites both real and virtual. Bad Vibe was kind enough to share with PostSurf via electronic mail his recollections of recent SUP encounters. -LS
I have tried to mount many a SUP - the first off mid-beach; the guy was trying to hog the peak (good rights) so I went at him, up close and personal with the verbal taunting. He made some smart-assed comment so I tried to mount his rig. All hell and banter breaks loose. He fell off twice. Eventually having to retreat. I shit you not, another surfer paddles by and said something to the effect ʻ... surprise surprise, BAD VIBE yelling at peopleʻ. Defending the Oarsman... what a guy.
The surfer that said it was pretty ugly, like a human faced version of a Pitt-bull so I quickly paddled south and away. Next up was a week later down the beach. Same thing, " I say, "bro, get off the waves, get out of the way, find another peak, youʻre dangerous, what a kook, go home, barney, asshole, fuckwad...ʻ He sayʻs, ʻI donʻt know you? You sound like some punk from Santa Cruzʻ. To my mind this means one thing: MOUNT ... After a couple of sets on the head he split. Saw the same beefy dude at a school function and he looked on at me not knowing WTF! to do? Saw him Tuesday and paddled right at him, ready to mount. He saw the most hateful stink coming towards him and split.
At the Point earlier this summer a couple a guys were on the outside chumping the shoulder so Billy and I watched and then COULD NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE! I had one guy out the back; cursing and trying to mount the fucker but he held me at a distance with his oar! There I am taunting him and heʻs being a fucking newly re-seeded hairline prick and I am desperately trying to pirate his SUP and he manages to stay on top of his board. Iʻm grabbing the rail, diving underneath a murky ocean and darned if I canʻt fucking dunk the guy. Meanwhile Iʻm missing all the good sets. He finally sayʻs, ʻ You are being filmed...ʻ
I keep at him. Then he and his buddy ( who in the meanwhile is busy with Billy) quickly paddle into the bay towards whatever drain and are gone.
One hour later a policeman walks past our Peanut Gallery and then doubles back and stops in front of me and sayʻs, "ʻ Uh... were you surfing... a " Paddle Boarder" said that you told him that, " You were going to fucking eat his eye balls for dinner.ʻ" To which I say, "I never said anything of the sort." Runs my license. Clean.
Later the two accusers tried to slink by the Peanut Gallery along the railing but my friend said, ʻ Hey, those two are giving you, or us, hard looksʻ. Sure enough. Odd Todd went at the smaller guy with the stick that he uses to hold up the back hood of his piece of shit van. Heʻs invoking hilariously the scene from Taxi Driver. "You want a piece of me!" One guy sayʻs to Todd, " Are you drunk?, on something? and reaches for his cell phone and begins poking. Wise decision to leave when I did. As I was headed up the hill another Policeman is firing down the hill...
This is the sad state of affairs.
All true. No bull.
--Bad Vibe Bob
They’re considered vessels now. They’re also considered really fuckin’ lame !
Watching US Open: Go Brett. As for SUPs: they have no business riding anything but the mushiest pos waves on earth. I surf a break that is very hollow so SUPs, logs, funsticks, etc. are not a problem. Lucky me. When I go elsewhere, I am shocked by the prevalence of the aforementioned problem. I feel for all surfers who have to deal w/ the problem.
These fucktards are everywhere, stealing waves from people who rely on stamina and paddling skill to catch them. They do need some enforcing to keep clear of surfers.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
The worst part of it is that their target market isn’t even surfers, but rather Jesse Ventura mid-life crisis types with absolutely no understanding of the rules of surfing or any appreciation of natural resource economics. I would be very surprised to see any competent surfer take one up, the only people who might even consider switching over are fat dipshit longboarders with no ability whatsoever. Does anyone know where up to date figures on SUP related deaths can be obtained? I am looking to start a movement to ban these vessels from crowded surf breaks in my area and ideally make it so their use is restricted to designated spots only.
Long Beach District Weekly article about Jericho Poppler. Another fucktard…
“Poppler was inducted into the Surfing Walk of Fame in Huntington Beach. Her life today is still perpetual fun: a late-spring ski and snowboarding trip to Mammoth, during which she went stand-up paddle surfing on Convict and June lakes with her pals Mickey Muñoz (also a Surfing Walk of Fame inductee) and his wife, Peggy; a July surf excursion to the San Juan Islands; a fall stand-up paddle surfing exhibition with Peggy around the island of Manhattan.
She’s become a local and national stand-up paddle surfing champion. The Naples canal dock in front of the Poppler-Bartlow house is the meeting place for the Naples Island Paddle and Surf Club and is stacked with loaner boards.”
An Oaron got the snot beat out of him up here in malibu this weekend. This will occur more and more until these aliens learn respect and safety. The kid who wailed on the oaron is now a local hero and the anti oaron militia is in full force.
Floating sidewalks and their mid life crisis navigators have no business being in the lineup. This is war.
God bless the Pleasure Point SUP Fighters!!!
Help Keep America Cool!
@ BrodyStylez
Agree about the frustration of SUP’s but your comment about being surprised to see a competent surfer take up the sport is off base. Ikaika Kalama was RIPPING the north shore all winter on one including huge Sunset and Pipeline.
My question is when will the first major injury occur involving an SUP? Like when a huge set comes in and the SUP guy bails his board right in front of a pack of surfers and some kid gets knocked out and his daddy sues. What will the surf scene look like in 5 years? Will SUP’S go the route of jet ski’s in the Monterey Bay Sanctuary?
Hmmmmm.
Oh yeah and Lopez has been surfing Ala Moana lately on one. Scary when a wave hog of his caliber grabs the paddle and goes SUPing. Pretty much zero waves for anyone else at that point. Sucks how someone with such a sterling reputation in the media can be such a blatant and nonrepentant snake.
Hey Gerry do you SUP on the river up in Bend also? Have you figured out a way to SUP on the slopes yet? Are you going to write articles in Surfer about exploring new frontiers on an SUP?
Hmmmmmm.
Damn, that 6.0 Pro Jr. final was a dig rail contest to the fullest extent. Kids looked wack. Mount that chude Simpo Mick! 100 g Vegas bonus.
Jesus Christ! This blog has lost the plot. Don’t give BVB any more airtime - that dipshit thrives on it. He’s on every blog from here to eternity spewing out the same rhetoric crapazola. Fuck - he’s a Fort Point “local” who rides a Ward Coffey funboard - fuck sake.
Brett mounted White Drizzle. Bummer.
@ Things that make you go hmmm
I stand by my statement. While I could see a person riding one of these monstrosities in absolute garbage surf when no other alternative will permit, I can’t fathom how if it’s six feet and offshore that someone would ditch there shortboard in favor of an SUP. While you may view someone as ‘ripping’ on their SUP, I feel that the level of said ripping will be significantly limited by their choice of craft. That is to say, would Ikaika Kalama have surfed better on a craft which was more appropriate for the conditions? My magic eightball seems to think so. I would imagine the only reason to make the switch is to gain an unfair advantage (in seeing sets, paddling speed, and personal defense) afforded by the SUP. In summary, barring some extenuating circumstance, anyone who rides an SUP (let alone purchases one) is a total fuckwit. I have seen them promoted in the oddest places such as: Food Network, Sierra Club, and AARP for fuck’s sake. Furthermore, it affords these dickwads access to breaks they have no business being in, where long paddle-outs used to deter most of the lighweights from even considering it, but now that they don’t have to physically insert any part of their body into the water, it’s open season. I say bullocks. I agree with BVB and Lewis and I will proceed to mount any and every SUP threatening the safety of myself and others. Fuck that shit.
*they’re shortboard
Check out this Fuckery…:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZdtCl2RLwE&feature=channel
These are the extreme tow-bros that never paddle into big waves. what board do they choose when the wedge gets big? Extreme Fuckery, no room for this shit, those kooks should have known better, desperate for attention-
Picture a snotty nosed kid saying, ʻitʻs not a “fun board” cheese weasel, itʻs called a “gun.”
Let’s all applaud the semi-literate comment troll! And while you’re at it, can you make a list of the various dimensions of wave-sliding devices that you consider appropriate.
I like the comment of the week. Surfing needs characters like BVB. Remember El Zorb from Oxnard? He was another colorful chap with attitude adjustment problems, but definitely made for a good yarn or two to talk about at the surf shop. Anyway… while we’re all waiting for Lewis to finish the JBay PR’s, here’s a little something pertaining to JBAY from ASL (You can see the video on insurfnews, fuck you surfing terrorist!)…
THE MOP-UP
Bede “Sven” Durbidge, Mick “Blue Bogan” Fanning, and “Bondi” Bobby Martinez get loose.
One last South African post in the aftermath of the Billabong Pro.
Okay, the last of the professional surfers left today, so that means … I win. I am the last surviving housemate to be voted out, or rather, to manage to get a flight out of here. The cleanup crews have moved in, dismantling the enormous grandstand of scaffolding, conducting a much needed beach cleanup and generally returning the Supertubes foreshore to its previous natural splendour.
The evening the event finished was huge - a rowdy, drunken, chaotic party at the beachfront home of former Billabong licensee in South Africa, Cheron Kraak - a magnificent house fashioned from stone and heavy timber beams, with expansive decks overlooking the J-Bay lineup. They handed out the local delicacy, biltong, a kind of dried beef jerky, in long strips and we all sat around munching on them like cigars, between tequila shooters and general merriment. It raged until the wee hours and saw at least one former world champion literally carried home, while contest winner and world champ elect Parko was in a strangely subdued mood, sipping red wine and receiving well-wishers regally from his position on a comfortable lounge suite. Though the following night (or was it later that night - who can recall?) he was seen climbing through the rafters of a nearby Mexican restaurant. And good on him. It’s a month ’til Trestles and if you can’t let your hair down after racking up a monstrous mid-season ratings lead, when can you?
The day after the night before was a lazy, fuzzy, lost day of long naps and watching The Ashes. It’s dead time, with no waves and three days to kill until the tour moves on to California. There’s almost a sense of melancholy in the air at such times, the buzz and excitement of the event quickly dissipating and not even any waves to replace it. We’re the chumps who couldn’t change our air tickets and are stuck here while the contest scaffolding, tents and judges’ tower are pulled down. So, a household of a dozen or so pro surfers and their significant others drift in to Mick’s beachfront rental during the course of the day and just, sort of, stay. Someone goes and buys some beer. Someone else suggests a BBQ, or a Braii, in the local vernacular. Soon, it is all on again. Bobby Martinez’s wife Cleo, a hairdresser by trade, gets her hot tongs out and begins alternately transforming those with straight hair to curls, and those with curls to straight. The effect is strangely hilarious. Together with the new hair-dos, a few of the boys are comprehensively and theatrically styled by the girls, with make up and extravagant fashion acoutrements. Hawaiian Roy Powers looks like a brooding emo with heavy black mascara and Hitler fringe. Bede Durbidge with straight hair attracts comparisons with everyone from Hawaiian big wave charger Mark Healy to Happy Days’ Richie Cunningham to pop artist Andy Warhol. Part-Mexican Bobby Martinez is dolled up in jewelry and scarves, a beret and skinny jeans, like some Parisian dandy or Bondi metrosexual. His ironic posing is straight from Zoolander or fellow pro surfer and style master Luke Stedman’s book of deliberate vanity, earning him the new nicknames Mexican Steds and Bondi Bob. The normally straight-haired, stocky Hawaiian Kekoa Bacalso, with a head of curls, suddenly metamorpheses into a little old Polynesian lady. It is suggested he could go on the women’s pro tour with that do and win the world title. For some unknown reason, the girls all decide to dress in Mick’s distinctive yellow and black wetsuits before they head out. It is turning into a strange evening. The drinks are flowing and witty banter’s flying and then they all head off into the night in search of karaoke. I’ve had enough, pull the pin and go to bed.
And then, a couple more wasted days later, they are gone, and I am here, having a final surf at two to three foot sideshore Supers, the only human in the water surrounded by hundreds of dolphins. The last of the pros split this morning, with impressive displays of generosity, buffing the staff out with fat tips, illiciting tears and hugs and professions of love all round. Most are heading to Cali and the lure of Hurley’s big bucks at Huntington. We surfed a miserable beachbreak a couple of days ago in preparation for the dreaded Huntington hop. Then it is on to Vegas for three days for someone’s birthday. Some lives these people lead.
What to take from this event?
1. Parko will be world champ.
2. Dane Reynolds has claimed the title of most exciting surfer in the world right now, if in fact there were any doubters. Every time he takes off no one dares take their eyes off him, for fear of missing some outlandish new trick.
3. The ASP need to find a way to leverage this interest and come up with creative formats where guys like Dane get to surf for more than 30 minutes at a time, and more than once if they lose.
4. When locals say, “there’s a guy at my local beach who surfs as good as the pros,” you are normally safe to scoff. But when it is said here, about Sean Holmes, it is true.
5. A bunch of contenders need to step it up and make at least a bit of a show of resistance in the next couple of events, or else the rest of the tour may become a farce.
6. There are too many surfers on tour, and almost everyone’s interests would be best served by culling numbers and lumping more prize money at the pointy end to increase interest in the tour.
7. Though Day Two at pumping Supers - with everyone going berserk - did seem to indicate the World Tour is still in reasonable health. The ASP needed that day like a shot of adrenalin.
8. There will be a meeting in California between the folks from ESPN and this proposed new tour and the surfers that may very well decide the future of pro surfing as we know it. Oh, to be a fly on the wall.
Fully agree with BVB’s sentiments but can’t condone beating people senseless, unless of course they post really fucking long and tedious comments - Mailman empty your sack somewhere else please sir. Violence always flares in Summer, never see so many fools around in Winter. Expect along with the rest of the part-timers, the SUP brigade will have disappeared by mid-October.
@mailman
Your opinion on SUPeeing ?
The landlord doesn’t like SUP’s.
@John is correct. Suppies are riding boats. The Coast Guard has deemed them so.
Relegate them to where they belong. Outer waters or back bays.
As to Dave Mailman,… he is like the USPS.
Even though economics and competition have rendered them obsolete, he’s still lobbying to keep his job.
@ Dave Mailman
In the mid eighties there was a guy named Darren from Oxnard that stayed, along with his brother Brandon, with my friend Ron at Sunset Beach for awhile. His brother Brandon was on that show ” Courtship of Eddies Father” in the seventies. They both surfed good. Darren told me that if I ever showed up in Oxnard he would make sure that I got some waves.
A couple of years later I heard that Darren was ” El Zorb” from Oxnard. Is that true?
And Refreshed is a kook. Compared to Mailmans sack you probably have a couple of shriveled raisin testicles.
Yup. Darren Cruz. SSL.
Yeah they piss me off but i have a feeling that given the choice of who to surf with I’d take the SUP to Bob.
Long live Bad Vibes Bob. Unfortunately, the surfing world needs more with his spine and there’s not many like him left.
dudes. come on. sup rule. i’ve got like 5 in my garage and like 3 on custum order, kant wait to ride them at big OB this winter. sssooooo goood.
New triathalon- Rollerblading, SUPing and sucking cock.
What’s the the worst part about SUP?
Telling your Dad your gay.
D Mailman is a good contributor to postsurf shut the fuck up whinners. Yes he has the company line but it is good hearing it considering what surfing is facing. Seeing FP & Bobbie (& Mick) broing down on the insurf video makes it so clear no one wants to challenge Parko, its a joke.
Is SUP the new goatboat?
Mark hates America. Mark loves Amerikkka.
Dave Mailman, Slater is still the most exciting surfer to watch.
@ Surfing Terrorist
All kidding aside that is not funny. I have many African American friends as well as Hispanic, Asian and Polynesian. Shoot I even have a Braziliian friend (just one though). I support Clarence Thomas as well as J.C. Watts.
People are people Mr. Terrorist. Doesn’t matter what color their skin is. What matters in politics are the WORDS and PROMISES made by our elected officials and how they follow up on those words with actions. In my opinion President Obama has mislead America with his promises and actions (stimulas bill being completed 16 hours before it had to be signed without being read by ANYONE etc. etc. etc. I could go on and on but won’t)
If you are going to continue to run your mouth then use your real name.
I meant misled. And Slater might be the most exciting but Parko is by far the smoothest and most stylish. Maybe ever.
U.S. Open–a good show, good surfing and a huge prize. Thing is Nike owns Hurley and that is why they were able to offer such a huge purse. How do the surfers critical of the industry, such as those of us on this blog, feel about companies like Nike buying their way into surfing? Are they sinking a lot of money in a down economy to sink the smaller players?
Dave Mailman,
You should have made your comments yesterday. Would have been a shoe in for comment of the week and would have saved the rest of us from having to punch our computer screens as we debated the issue of if you could kick either the offending SUP’er or Bad Vibe Bob in the nuts who would you chose?
I’m good friends with Mark. He isn’t no racist.
I agree with Mark Jones. Let us all come out with our real names. My name is John Smith.
If Hitler were still alive and became a U.S. citizen, which political party do you think he’d vote with?
I’m guessing Republikkkan. Like Mark.
I think Mark is unAmerican. And God hates him. Being a racist is the least of his poor attributes.
Dave the Mailman is a chicken in the hen house, cluck, cluck, cluck.
Mark and Jeff talk all day long on the phone about weird stuff. Are Jordy’s nipples odd or cool? Does Julian wear pink underwear? Is Bush the greatest president ever or the second greatest? And both hate Surfing terrorist, because Americans hate terrorists. Rush told them so and it’s easier than thinking.
I have 9/11 on speed dial, Jeff’s been drinkin all weekend. I think Mark is unAmerican.
Smyrna Jeffs wife is Mike. Mike is probably the only person in the state of California who is complaining about how surfing in the Golden state sucks despite the recent reports of thumping juice up and down the coast.
Hey Mike maybe you should get an SUP and hit up C street. Or maybe get into snowboarding or rollerblading or something because we are all getting sick of your bitter ass whining about how the surf sucks and is crowded wah wah wah. Maybe you are just getting a little long in the tooth there Mikey boy and can no longer compete with the young lions that surround you. I am only a year younger than you and catch tons of waves and wake up every single day at 3 a.m. to make sure i catch the first wave of the day in Town pretty much every single day it is 3 feet or bigger which is basically the entire summer of 2009 here in Hawaii.
Back in the 70’s Mac Davis sang that you gotta stop and smell the roses. Maybe you should pop that one in your i-pod Lefty and have a listen.
Leave me out of this.
@Bam Wham.
Hitler was a left winger.
Looking out over a glorious sunset over Waimea Bay right now. So pretty it makes a guy want to quit commenting on a blog like Post Surf.
Goodnight and good riddance Post world. I’ll catch up with you when Slater wins Lowers and Hossegor in a 2 week stretch to make it interesting.
Do you think Mark will really quit this site for 6 weeks? Is that possible?
Hmmmmmm.
@ Taj’s Burro:
No he wasn’t, you stupid fuck.
Eugen Weber places fascism on the right.[31] Stanley Payne wrote that “…their most common allies lay on the right, particularly on the radical authoritarian right, and Italian Fascism as a semi-coherent entity was partly defined by its merger with one of the most radical of all right authoritarian movements in Europe, the Italian Nationalist Association (ANI).”[32]
Walter Laqueur says that historical fascism “did not belong to the extreme Left, yet defining it as part of the extreme Right is not very illuminating either”, but that it “was always a coalition between radical, populist (’fascist’) elements and others gravitating toward the extreme Right”.[33] Roger Griffin argues that since the end of World War II, fascist movements have become intertwined with the radical right, describing certain groups as part of a “fascist radical right”.[34][35] Stanley Payne says “fascists were unique in their hostility to all the main established currents, left right and center”, noting that they allied with both left and right, but more often the right.[36][37]

More like things that make me go, so what. Please threaten to quit again Mark. And then please actually quit.
I do not SUP. Like any surfer who doesn’t respect the rules of the line-up the SUPer in question probably deserved what he got from BVB. I don’t condone violence, but a little regulating of kooks never hurt anyone!
PS: Mark, I don’t know the true identity of El Zorb, sorry!
I once fucked a donkey’s eyeball so hard he brayed the letters BVB repeatedly with a lisp from that point forward.
… not that I’m trying to be an asshole or anything.
For the record, Mailman rules.
…for the record! I mean it you sniveling little ninny noodnicks.
Dave Mailman is El Zorb. There I’ve said it. And he does SUP and condones violence with great enthusiasm.
Political boondoggling aside, how was that Simpson run through the US Open?? I almost wished I lived in America again after witnessing that victory over much more heralded competitors.
Good on ya, HB. May you be remembered for more than the cheesy tattoos, strippers walking their bulldogs, raised trucks with Tapout stickers, and the commercialization of surfing.
Bravo!
Now, go slink back into your 1-2 foot mush of obscurity until next year.
For the record, my donkey ball sack hangs down below my knobby knees.
P.s.
Lewis,
I think a post(s) on the culture of Huntington Beach would be most exciting. It’s long overdue.
In fact, I would think there would be weeks worth of material regarding the guts of ‘Surf City.’
It would be mind-numbing if you expanded the conversation to Santa Cruz. The things we could expose would be delightful.
Cheerio!
Rather pedestrian suggestion BR. Yes, please do a Huntington Beach piece. No one’s thought to cover that.
If the US Open continues to garner similar attention in the next few years, look for police cars to be overturned, then burned by angry mobs.
Count me in bitches.
@Parko’s Donkey,
Then you know precisely what I mean…
@BR
Indubitably.
yeah BVB rekindled from the entropy at niceness.org…formally irate, aces the motive and well deserved the spray-painted abandoned boat totem. As I first passed the brief installation on the way to surf, I lost it when the lettering came into view. There was a small crowd of beachcombers all around it, and they could tell I knew what it meant b/c it was awesome to see upon first discovery, and my face showed it. They immediately asked me “what is bad vibes bob?” which was exactly why you laugh just to hear strangers say it, and I could only say as much as “uhhh…uh, just he’s a guy who surfs around here” b/c the rest of the story was too precious to spill. It was the best piece of shittily-scrawled vandals graffiti we’d seen at the beach in a long time; that man ape spirit quietly triumphs over some mundane bullshit.
BVB is pure trash….anyone who has ever surfed with or around him knows that this guy is a fucking loser fuck wad….go fuck yourself BVB….get a life turd
J
Santa Cruz beach is a shithole. Vagrants and drunks all over the beach, trash on the beach, tacky as fuck amusement park area. Away from the beach is nice, but who cares?
giving people like this an opportunity to spew hate just lost you a reader.
Angry Villager, please go use the pointy end of your pitchfork on the asses of the following commentators: Taj’s Burrow, Parko’s Donkey and the Surfing Terrorist. When you are done, turn it around and insert blunt end wherever possible into SmyrnaJeff’s Wife, with force. When you’re done, tie them all up. Call Blasphemy Rottmouth and inform him of your location. Then leave the building. BR will take care of the rest. Thank you for your help in this matter.
PS: I usually don’t like to claim OC status, but after Simpo’s $100K performance in HB a little gloating is in order! Yeah Brett! Hope you get a Wild Card for Trestles after that!?!
I have always been respectful of this place. I understand how things have changed, shifted towards something else. I surf alone. I donʻt check the surf reports or the blogs to see if waves are coming. I blog as a distant voice in this surf crazed atmosphere. I do not talk about how good the waves are or where they are.
I honestly donʻt understand the interest in pro surfing? This blogger realm is for you. I suspect there a lot of old Niceness folks are on here - it sounds like it. I saw E yesterday and he is doing well.
I go to the beach and I look at it. I do not consider myself a ” local” anywhere. There is a freedom in this. I try to surf my own peak. If itʻs crowded I go south or I go north. Or I wait it out. I do not have surf racks on my car, no stickers, no PT era changing robe, no furry surf babes tagging along. No. None of that. I do not use a cell phone for surfing. I do not drive a black 40,000 Audi or Range Rover with Wise surfboard racks and a Surfrider sticker affixed to the bumper. No.
If you want to figure out which board to ride go shopping at one of the local surf shops. Mollusk has some really nice boards but they are very expensive. Aqua has a nice selection of used short boards. Wise too has just about everything you need from an 800.00 Meingaffer to those fancy Handacappaʻs for 750.00. Itʻs your choice or maybe your ladies choice.
Still waiting on those Power Rankings… Here’s something from Stab. Just an excerpt. If you want more you know where to go!
“It’s a “classy” club, consisting of a dimly lit bar and an adjacent stage, fitted with a pole. Upon entering, you take a card and are shown to a leather booth. While you recline, beer and cocktails are served by women who approach in as dignified manner as their attire allows. Drugs are optional, and there is no pressure to choose your date. “You feel like a gangster,” says Siegfried. “You just sit there and ten chicks froth over you.””
I threw up yesterday afternoon when an informercial came on the TV for paddle skateboarding. Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME. And it was just who you thought it would be, middle aged fat SUP looking dudes using an “oar” to do something on a skateboard down a hill. What the fuck.
Whats up Bad Vibe?
I googled Bad Vibes Bob and came across this…Cheech and Chong..nice
Hey Brian! How are you doing! Youʻre missing from the rosters of the surf art folks; and thatʻs a good thing! I think Buttons covered the skate paddle thing. Let me find the link…
Fuck you pussie Mailman Dave, burn us villagers and then prop up wildcards. Wildcards that haven’t qualified.
But a little, and I mean little, ASP bitch like Dave the Mailman finds the spin. Better work on that pedestrian effort, you’re “financee has rules”.
You are toast Dave.
bad vibe bob is my hero
I used to beat up gays in the castro.
It IS cool to hate the fucking SUP guys they are Gay. EVERY ONE MUST CONFORM. We need laws determining the size of board we ride as surfers. It is just cool to hate cause I am angry at the way life went. Was it my fault or did I just surf to much? Now all the other have jobs.
Oh wait I forgot I’m the guy all you forgot. I’m the guy who surfed so much I am board stiff waiting for any big surf and I SUP just because it is something different, I also body surf (would that be the ultimate cool in this debate) and short board and ride OB when no one else is out, and its good. See you out there. Be Cool bad vibe?
The funny part is that if you get caught by park police fighting in the GGNRA, you will be expelled and not allowed to surf there for a duration determined by a Federal judge.
Personally, anyone tries to “mount” me in the water is going to find out why a Bonzer over the head hurts more than three fins.
I hope the cops catch BVB or she takes an SUP to the head real soon!
Wow this site is remarkable. Looks as I come across a gold mine. I desire to many thanks for having the time to write this. Continue the good work! Just curious about, do you have an RSS Feed? Thank you!
I’m an enormous admirer! Appreciate your sharing offering this
He’s basically so lovable!
I completely agree. That is exactly how I see it. Cheers!
I’ve been searching for this exact info on this subject for a while. Bookmarked and recommended!
I completely agree. That is precisely how I see it. Excellent!
Interesting…and I agree pretty much with everything. Keep up the excellent work…I will certainly be back soon
I thought that was really helpful. Thanks for the cool information. I’ll keep an eye on this.
Fascinating…and I agree pretty much with everything. Keep up the great work…I will undoubtedly be back soon
Kory Kevern, Would you mind telling me where you got your theme from? Really easy on the eyes, haha.
I rarely find good reads such as this one where I was kept amused the whole way through. It was difficult to stop reading your work which visibly shows what amazing talent you have. Can’t wait to enjoy more from you.
Your website is by far the greatest resource given the ideas mentioned. I regularly see myself returning back and seeking far more stuff. Not sure where you locate all this information, nevertheless it is wonderful. Appreciate it!
Would you mind telling me where you got your theme from? Really easy on the eyes, haha.
I’m pretty new to BlogEngine and noticed that a number of your other readers have different avatars. Any idea as to how I can change mine? Is it possible to put a custom one?
