“..or the government…or surfers on perfect left hand point breaks…”
When will pro surfers take their heads out of their asses and realize that a few soulful turns on 16mm film doesn’t really change anything. I guess you can argue that in brings abit of awarness to the situation at hand, but overall its all talk in the surfing community, which really sucks. Look how long its taking to get that damn fishing boat off the reef at Padang. Its funny that rip curl and other big corporate surf companies can front the cash to run a WCT contest in the middle of nowhere out in Indonesia, but there has been no attempt by them to take the lead and get this thing off the reef depite using it as a venue for many of ther contests in the past. Ok… before I go off on another tangent, here is a little something to chew on. Rather than riding a few barrels in the name of peace it would be nice to see surfers being proactive about making a change.
