Seriously, how sick is he? He seems like a great guy too.
8 championships.........
I still think Laird is the best overall waterman/surfer/kiteboarder/windsurfer/paddler/ etc etc _________________ www.integrity-wake.com

muckmeister, I hated him when he was winning. He was an door knob to fans, including little kids. Had a real bad attitude.
Age and losing the glory spot has made him more humble, which I like in an athlete. _________________ (insert funny chit here) |

Yeah, the best surfers are pretty elitist. Irons seems like a douchebag too. _________________ You have just entered the twilight zone. |

Wakebrad, Yup. I watched an interview where he was talking about the guys at pipe saying that if "someone dropped in on me like that, I'd spear them". Ok tough guy. You're so cool for that. Douche. That was the last time I paid any attention to him. _________________ (insert funny chit here) |

Remember when Andy Irons got into a fistfight at a competition years ago? It was Mick Lowe I think, but they were having a real competitive heat and Andy was talking trash to him after they got outta the water and Mick slugged him. Then Andy started swinging his surfboard at him. They both got fined pretty good.
Never met Slater, I'm kinda surprised to hear he was a dick to people, but kinda not. Guys at the top of their game like that often are. Maybe gettin' that gorilla no-talent Sunny off the tour helped mellow him out. I used to hate him too, I thought he was a sellout for being on Baywatch. Gotta tell you though, the dude can kill waves at will in any condition, I learned to respect him after seeing shots of him throwing 6 foot spray off of a 3 foot Florida wave (there's video of it in an old flick called Elements). |

Jester, No doubt. And speak of the devil... SL8R's bus tour was in Austin last night. Not sure why. Must be hitting up Schlitterbahn or something or maybe his band is playing SXSW?
I do remember that fight. I just laughed and hoped he got his ass kicked. I only saw the interview afterwards. _________________ (insert funny chit here) |
