Signs the end of the Surfing World Is Near

Oh boy. First it was SUPs. Now it’s this. I have no idea what it is, but dammit I’m going to find out. It is clearly something to do with motorized surf. Gas guzzler? No se, hombre. The dude on the surfboard/boat has a shiz eating grin on him, so it must be fun on [...]

Surfer gives up surfing too early

Well that just sucks. Saw this on Craigslist Newport beach the other day. Land lover indeed. It’s a sign of the end of summer.
