Apple, I Think You Owe Surfing Some $$$ (Also Thanks for Making iOS5)

Madison Ave. stole surfing's so-called soul many many years ago with the introduction of surfing in car sales ads....'SurfScience', I think you have too much time on your hands.

So here is what I propose. Steve Jobs, you owe the sport of surfing a few mil. I know you have the extra cash sitting around. If you’re going to use the soul of our sport to sell your computers, phones and music players, at least help us out a bit.

$1 Million to the Surfrider Foundation – They help keep the water clean and the beaches open

$300K to the Surfing Heritage Foundation – They preserve the history of our sport through photographs, stories & a surfboard exhibit

$250K to fund a surf contest in Santa Curz where only asymmetrical boards are allowed. – They are the future people!

$200K to Kelly Slater’s Wave Company – So they can get the first circular wave pool off the ground

$150K to SurfScience.com – So we can continue developing cool surfboard related science experiements

$100K purse for the most innovative surf invention of 2011 – Shane Dorian got a head start

Hey Surfscience: Apple doesn't owe you jack shit. You and Surfrider and Surfing Heritage and Shane Dorian and anyone else don't own surfing. No one does.

And get off the "soul of surfing" crappola. It makes me want to puke. The next step is for you "soul of surfing" pontificators to label all non-surfers as heathens and condemn them to hell while the soul surfers will be going to your imaginary sould surfing heaven where 70 virgins await them, especially if they martyr'ed themselves on some suicidal giant break with a two wave holdown shouting "Andy Irons Akhbar!". Fuck you guys. I'd rather be where the women are sluts (and actually know what to do in bed).
