Sarah watches because I told her he kissed Britney in a video.

KS was also wooing Pamela Anderson for what seemed like an overlong period of time.

that beach is called "mavericks" and yes, it's about 1/2 a mile off the coast of half moon bay.

Mavericks! Yes, they were in STEP INTO LIQUID. "Crazy".

Maybe we should go and see RIDING GIANTS.

yeah! i heard it's great.

what is the opening song that plays during that video, sounds kinda tribal but eastern but glossy...?

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:23 (8 years ago) Permalink

I don't know.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:23 (8 years ago) Permalink

I wanted to check out Mavericks (in person, not on a video game) but nobody I asked in CA knew or had heard of Mavericks. WTF? Luna, I'm looking at you.

Isn't it just part of the Santa Cruz/Half Moon Bay connurbation?

SURF
Flat and poor conditions.

Not enough energy...

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:31 (8 years ago) Permalink

I didn't go to it cause no one knew where it was! I assumed it was far north of San Francisco for some reason.

So you can only tow into it?

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:33 (8 years ago) Permalink

In Step Into liquid they tow miles out from the coast of san Diego and ride freakishly high waves (60ft+) like death-crazed idiots. It's great.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:35 (8 years ago) Permalink

i think they only tow-in when it's closing out at the takeoff spot (ie, huge and swell direction < ideal).

it is a LONG paddle out and there are some boaters that will take you out in the lineup when it gets out of control (NB: i've never surfed there, this is based on stories and videos and conversations).

cortez bank, that's in KSPS too.

haha, you sure do!

I am at the level in Vice City where you have to kill members of a "European gang". I bet your buddies JW and hstencil love THAT one.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:43 (8 years ago) Permalink

Is that passed the level where you have to shoot out the windows in the mall (because if it is, i've been stuck there for about 58 decades).

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:46 (8 years ago) Permalink

no.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:47 (8 years ago) Permalink

i don't remember then, that's how insignificant european gangsters are in my life.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:47 (8 years ago) Permalink

xenophobe

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:50 (8 years ago) Permalink

that's a very common eurocentric misconception that i certainly wouldn't put past you.

I'd kindly like to point you to some recent opinion polls on this very subject. For ease of reading, they are displayed both numerically and in pie chart form.

:-P

when you get to the intro video to cortez bank, i challenge you to try NOT to get seasick while viewing it.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:56 (8 years ago) Permalink

okay.

Yes I did, boogerbutt. Perhaps you *gasp* forgot.

watching Blue Crush. god I love this movie.

I think learning to surf should be a major goal of my life. This shows poor judgment.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 10 January 2005 05:29 (8 years ago) Permalink

i used to surf heaps when i was a teenager, from the age of 14, all along the south west coast of australia, since i loved everything to do with the beach and the ocean. when i first started learning (around 1990/91) girls in the surf were very much frowned upon around where i lived and my mates and i used to get heckled mercilessly. now when i'm at the beach it makes me very happy to see as many young girls as guys in the line up, i think this is due to movies like blue crush and female role models like layne beechley (sp?). i still love the ocean more than anything in the world but i don't surf anymore. dunno why.

Hi my Surfing thread!

Ooooh Gabbneb Blue Crush looks "good"!

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 16:04 (8 years ago) Permalink

gem I can almost hear your accent in that post! it never occurred to me that girls could be seen as out of place on a surf-board. it's weird, because it's not quite like golf, where the sport is often an excuse for guys to be away from their wives.. surfer guys don't really have wives too much of the time, do they, so that's not it.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 10 January 2005 16:31 (8 years ago) Permalink

I heard of some pretty intense surf in SoCal towards the end of last week.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 10 January 2005 18:00 (8 years ago) Permalink

oooooh do tell

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 18:39 (8 years ago) Permalink

I learned to surf in Australia in the early 80s - I got a lot of shit for it from the guys, but after they realized I wasn't going away, most of them laid off.**

(**I suspect a couple of them also wanted to have it off with my sister, who was teaching me)

here are photos of my brother surfing mavericks. he owns a jet ski and does get pulled into waves. they're sometimes up to 30 feet high.

he is a full on surfer. has been since he was 13 (he's 34 now). he used to go to Indonesia every summer to live on a house/surf boat. he used to live in Kawaii. pretty much his entire life revolves around surfing. he now has wife and kid. he used to call me every week or so just to chat. now that the surf is up i never hear from him anymore.

it's hillarious, because i fucking hate the ocean. i'm a total city kid. he calls me a vampire because i'm always out late and wake up late. i hate the sand, the sun, and the water.

― JaXoN (JasonD), Monday, 10 January 2005 19:59 (8 years ago) Permalink

I love all of that stuff! This brother sounds cool.

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 20:21 (8 years ago) Permalink

currently listening to early Beach Boys and it makes me want to surf and drive a hotrod
