on the ball.

One thing with groms you gotta luv their enthuseasim(sp) but take whatever they say with a pinch of salt as more often than not a 4ft wave turns into a 12ft monster

So anyone got any good grom bashing stories?

I once got my mate's little brother to do the whole drive from Cornwall to Brighton in the boot of the car, on top of all the wet wetsuits - told him he wasn't getting a lift otherwise And he did it. Big respect to him. He's grown up now, ripping by all accounts, saw some pics of him surfing sick Padang Padang a little while ago.

Then there's waxing the groms boards with soap. Always good value.

Taking a dump in a grom's wetsuit is one of the all time drunken classics. Especially when they don't realise, and put it on.

Another time we tied roof rack straps to the groms tent, attached to the car, and drove off with them still in the tent. When it was raining.

And once I talked a mouthy grom into jumping off the harbour arm at Shoreham, because he was too scared to paddle out, at low tide. Into 4 foot of water with rocks. He broke his ankle. Found that quite funny too. One less grom to get in the way for a few weeks.

hahahah..... that was some funny sh!t..

[Sillysausage]

^ You are mean.

[CHarvey]

That hazing is 10 times better then what was going on at RB high school here in san diego. The baseball team seniors were putting broom sticks up the freshman b&*ts.
Makes Poo in the wettie not sound so bad huh?!

[The Fafanator]

^Depends how deep, and you won't have to have the stink of xxxxx in your wetsuit forever, btw remind me to never leave my wettie out in the open.

[CHarvey]

Do you ever sleep dude?

[The Fafanator]

I live in south africa, time differences bra, put your time on +2 gmt and you will see what time it is for me.

[CHarvey]

I'm not GMT. I am PST.
Just seems you never stop posting is all.

[The Fafanator]

Oh, yea, if I am not surfing the ocean I am on here, plus this forum seems quite slow to me, Skateboard-city is much faster, but it is full of idiotic 12 year olds who think they can skate, it used to be nice though.

[joem]

now surfing waves is full of a 14year old who thinks he can surf

[perusurf]

if you like forums that muh, you'll go crazy here... http://forum.surfermag.com/forum
those guys are gonna kill me for letting you know about it.... but i wanna see the xxxxx they'll tell ya!

Reality


Hunting round the back of the car, finding a chuck of dirty wax under the burger wrappers, pulling bits off and sticking it in all the dings on my 7’6” Bic minimal, squinting into the rain and onshore gale, I think to myself, “f**k it’s a wave”.

There is a screaming onshore gale blowing, and the swell is 2ft at 3 seconds. I grab my suit, and put it on back to front, take it off, try again, bust the zip trying to do it up, and then end up with the worst rubber wedgie ever. My ct looks the shiz (truly the most satisfying part of the day), chase after my board as it blows off the roof racks, and try to walk over the wet rocks, slipping on the first, falling over like a sack of sh*t and bust one of my fins off, , put on my leash, snag it round a rock, get rinsed, paddle out some more, and knock another fin out on a submerged rock.

I battle through the onshore slop for 45 minutes, occasionally stopping to wipe the snot off my nose, until I am completely exhausted. Finally I sit comfortably outside and and then spend half an hour fighting the rip trying to get out the back again. With a few random peaks, breaking all over the place, I wonder if it was really worth the effort...

Then after a while, a big set rolls in. I let someone else take the first wave, and act like I really didn’t paddle for it but couldn’t catch it. I keep paddling as hard as I can, because now I’m in the impact zone and too scared to take the next one on the head. The wave picks me up, and as I get to the top I give one last paddle and go over the falls. Backwards. The wave takes me with a lot of power, grinds me into the bottom, and washes me up the beach, proving again that I am a snot ridden kook that had no business paddling out.

After four hours I manage to get out of my wetsuit, totally exhausted, thinking to myself, “maybe I should get a canoe”.
