Aesthetically Speaking

Maureen writes: I surfed with an ape today. Shaved headed, intense, grimly glaring down the waves and everyone around him. I’m guessing he thought he was pretty radical, but he surfed like an ape. Squat, bow-legged stance, both arms dangling from sloped shoulders, arms bent down at the elbow, hands curled as if gripping an invisible tree branch. Worst of all, he hopped up and down on his board like a happy, perhaps orgasmic ape, all the while his board maintaining a straight line trim. Ape.

Nothing to see here. Move along. Just another description of a day at LM. This gal, and I've read her stuff before, it seems no matter how hard she tries she can't hide her lamenting for times past or her impatience and thinly disguised contempt for other surfers, young or old. Welcome to the club, girl.

StokeReport should add a button to the site. Thumbs up, thumbs down, and Just a Typical Day at Linda Mar.

Yep it sounds like LM East Coast. If you go to LM you know what to expect and shouldn't complain about it as she is doing. Agree with @sharkturd take on her writing. I read half skipped to the end thinking maybe she could pull out a bright insight, just more bitchen. Surf or move somewhere else if its come to that.

It sounds like she just needs a good rodgering. Or, just some good ole sunshine in the shadows.
Lighten up, lady.

Isn't there some theories about us descending from apes?

There's a great book out there- "Inherit the wind"
highly reccommend it.
If anyone wants to start a Stoke Report book club, I'd welcome any and all. lmk
