fair surfing conditions at San Francisco - Ocean Beach

361
Friday 3pm - San Francisco - Ocean Beach, fair+ surfing

Clean, peaky, rampy, (and crowdy) fairplusness from about 11-12 yielded some extreme schralpy logtastic gnar for yours truly. (Read: This has been a good day to ease into OB with minimal beatdowns and several [!] waves.) Didn't push my luck and got out after a performance that, if I must say so myself, was tasteful, understated, and modest. You're welcome.

Sponsors can contact me by email.

Is that a lineup photo? Welcome to the list. If you film or take photos at this break and post them publicly you will be added to the list. The list was created by concerned citizens who live and surf here. We are purely in an information gathering stage but appropriate action will follow.

Ira what are these "appropriate actions" you allude to?

These actions would be decided upon by a group of concerned resident surfers and their appropriateness will be qualified through majority voting. We believe group consensus is central to the institutional reform of this surf break. At this time, we are simply collection information on individuals and their actions. The list only includes individuals who publicly post photo/video documentation of this particular break.

@chezwhitey I can appreciate your humor but your desire to become the personal benefactor of a "sponsorship" is strangely appropriate. Our goal is consensus and appropriateness through group action not the support or validation of the individual. If you decide to continue post photo/video documentation of this surf break. We will agree to pay special attention to you and your actions.

This whole group was added to the list in the earliest stages. Their activities have created a challenging situation for us. The group is composed of people who have legitimate local ties to our community and its residents but there actions are some of the most egregious in relation to the list. There is talk at the list of some retroactive action in certain cases. This could be very damaging to this group/brand considering the volume of film/video content they have produced and distributed.

@"Ira". The moderator of any internet forum has access to everyones IP address who posts on that forum; that IP is connected to your physical address and can be used to pursue legal action against you or others who use any web-site to intimidate or abuse peaceful members of the forum. Your so-called list, if it exists, can be used to get you into a lot of trouble should anything happen to anyone on this forum who you so casually threaten. you and your ilk, with their "lists" and calls for identifying marks are the same type of people who would have put german jews on a list, and made them wear identifying arm-bands under the guise of "informational purposes only". In the United States of America, citizens have rights to peaceful assembly and free speech; none of us posting on here have to tolerate your abuse and implied threats. At this point, you have made a big enough ass of yourself recently to be on everyone else's "list" who posts here; we invite you to be a peaceful, responsible member of the community, but if not, we invite you to leave. FYI.

@Ira. Stifling free expression ALWAYS goes over well.

BTW, speaking for a "community" on the internet is about as useful at the occupy yahoos. Speak for yourself and let others speak for themselves.

Oh Ira, the attention you so desired you have gotten.

I'm reminded of a time on a big name board makers site in So Cal when a few supposedly hot shot surfers called the participants of this other surf talk site various profanities, with threats if they ever saw them in the water with their specific brand named boards, that they would literally kick their asses. These threats went on and on for about 6 months, when the administrator, and maker of the boards, called them out to a surf contest at a well know break. He offered them safe passage to and from the beach, no violence and no intimidation, just an unsponsored surf contest to see if they were really as good as they claimed to be.

At the specific location in So Cal, on the specific date and time, many showed up to surf against these so called hot shots claiming to be better, and what happened, of course, they never showed up. Or rather they never showed their faces, because they were most likely lurking in the recesses of the dunes or behind trees, but far enough away as to not be recognized as the cowards they were.

Thus is the nature of the Internet, and you can spew all the vitriol you want with your posts, but are you mature enough to do it one on one with those of whom you purport to threaten with your so called "list," or your other frivolous and false cowardly middle school bulling techniques. If you can talk the talk, you better make sure you can walk the walk. Other wise the only cojones you've really got is in your posts, and on the Internet.

I'm finished with the likes of you Ira Glass. Time to move on as the rest of us should too, and not pay this person any more attention.
