You can still imitate them. Just get a heavy and difficult to maneuver wooden board and surf with no wetsuit
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Yeah that is true. The uncrowded lineups had other factors keeping people out of the surf.

If you have problems with a Bic you can forget about an alaia.
