rant about kooks and "surfer chicks"

[IdRatherBeSurfing]

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH


just had to get that out first .

A girl I know of has just started uni, met her through mutual friend and she was introduced as "this is XYZ my surfer friend" alls good thinks I, so said friend shows me her board (bright orange with yellow rails), its a magic carpet and is actually quite sweet. She told me the longboard fin thing on it is worth over £400 and that her 3/2 o'neill summer wettie cost her £400

So we went surfing. Ive never seen anyone less stoked in my life. "Im cold", "I'm Bored" blah blah. Said person never even made a half @rsed attempt to paddle for a wave. (I was informed on the journey to the break that she could do cutbacks on her first lesson)

So now "surfer chick" uses the "i go surfing with Jo" line to pull people and its just pi$$ing me off. We only went once!!

ARGHHHH and now she wants to know when can we go surfing together again.... how about NEVER

[essex sucks]

thats just wronge there are lots like it lol that say they can surf when they can not. she must be mad lol to say all that and still go surfing with u when she can not prove what she said

[.Jen.]

Simple... gather another bunch of mutual mates together, get down the beach and let them all piss themselves when they see her 'surfing'. Nowt like hideous embarrasment to fleshin' someone off completely

[essex sucks]

i am realy starting to like you jen what with drink as well

[Old Guys Rule]

That is the beautiful thing about surfing. If they suck you can still get your share of waves. Use them to block out so you can get a few more. It is all good when your in the water no matter how good you are or are not.

I cant stand people who try and act all "surfery" to make themselves look cool or to try and pull people. I see some idiots in Uni wearing boardies and flip flops in winter on the coldest of days.

[IdRatherBeSurfing]

she wants to go today (wednesday) and its fleshin' cold at the mo, she reckons she can handle it in a 3/2 wettie and no boots/gloves

I reckon as of tomorrow, Im gonna be surfing on my own

ARGHHHH and now she wants to know when can we go surfing together again.... how about NEVER

I think you've pulled

[tomcat360]

Take her, let her freeze, but be nice and call the coasties...

Then she'll never wanna surf with you again. Mission complete!

Reminds me of a guy I talked to a couple weeks back. I saw his car decked out in surfing stickers, you know, the whole chain board shops, the infamous OBX sticker , so I walk up to him and say "Do you surf?". I couldn't assume, because being landlocked allows people to pull this stuff off and not get caught. Anyways, so he says, "well...I..I have surfed...do you?"

I just say, "No, I just think the stickers on my car look pretty" and walk off. I think he could understand my sarcasm.

Tell her "That'd be great! Meet you at <break with heavy paddle out> at <time of your choosing>!".

Meet her there and go in. Paddle out immediately, do not wait for her because she is a good surfer

If and when she gets part of the way out catch a wave in and go to another break.

Keep doing this. Make sure buddies who can surf meet you in the lineup for a good laugh.

ug, i hate posers. Reminds me of when i use to bmx, at the skatepark their were usually these two kids with the same stock bikes with their bars too forward and i never saw em even roll over a ramp...
Reminds me of a friend who says he loves surfing but doesnt, he doesnt try to catch waves and i dont think he enjoys it much. Hes always the first one saying, lets go eat! unlike me and my other friend who sometimes skip lunch and wait for the busride back to eat.

I know someone who owns two boards and a oneil phyco 2 wettie (total prce of all that i estimate at just under $1000) Yet he cant surf nor never goes surfing despite living 100 yards from the beach. The worst part is he always brags about riding huge waves

mind you i knew someone who used to get dressed in a suit and walk his briefcase round the the block then go home

Takes all sorts

[justloafing]

Great stories, Well if you meet me at the beach and want to surf with me. I will tell you first thing that I suck. I do not surf in crowds but I do like to have one or two people around me when going out for a session. I may suck at surfing but if you get in trouble I will at least be in the water to help.

[Johno]

I suck too i can just about stand up, but I always enjoy it, who cares how good you are as long as your having fun

If your not having fun you shouldnt be in the water

[isaluteyou]

If your not having fun you shouldnt be in the water

Amen to that

[GowerCharger]

maybe she was just havin a bad day? take her again and if shes the same then make a judgement.

[essex sucks]

well said my man thats what i always tell people

[PapaW]

3rd strike and your out thats my motto :p

[thaya]

I agree. Go with her again and see if she still complains about everything. I don't understand why she'd want to go if she didn't enjoy it. Strange . Let us all know what happens! good luck!!!

[Luke]

Yeah fully, she might get really stoked on surfing, but if she's just in it to look cool she'll soon be making excuses not to come with you. I'd try not to let it bother you, after all she won't be the last...or worst kook you'll be meeting
