Top Rants

Stop harassing each other on this site. As RBL Posse put it, "Don't hate, congratulate." Be stoked for each surfer or surfetts. Catch waves, wipe out, and keep a smile on your face. For all you hater surfers out there, I think you need to create a new website. You should call it Emo surfing for competitive assholes. Hang loose dudes and dudetts.

Wetsuits. Every surfer in Santa Cruz needs at least one neoprene suit to survive winter's icy water temperatures. Having a good wetsuit equals more hours in the water and less time spent thawing out in a hot shower. Unfortunately, a new wetsuit can cost upwards of $400, about as much as a new surfboard.

I popped into Wise this weekend after surfing OB. I was just looking around at the boards when a guy asked if I had any questions.

Well I did. Why were the boards so expensive?
