  1. It's simple - surfing is simply more fun.

    I sponged for 6 years from jr high through hs then tried surfing and realized what I was missing out on.  Unless your surfing Pipe, Wedge, or any other heavy break - 95% of the spongers out there aren't 'surfing' any better than stand up surfers.  I didn't realize this until I 'hopped the fence'.

    Bodyboarding has it's place for those who enjoy doing it - but take a tip from someone like Kainoa McGee and stand up and surf.


  2. I don't like spongers because they tend to position themselves ahead of the surfers, they exit waves pretty early and just cut in the lineup. They can catch a wave without much effort, whereas surfers requires more skill / placement / paddling. I get annoyed at spongers because they take the good waves, and just about anyone could throw on some fins and be able to catch a 10 foot wave with a boogie board. The same def. does not apply to surfing.

  3. whyd u copy my hat?

  4. what a pointless thing to say!

    thats like saying, why do people drive cars when they could go on a motorbike

    JUST DO WHAT YOU ENJOY, AND IGNORE OTHER PEOPLE!!!

  5. I do body boarding and skim boarding and I completely agree. But what I do when I bodyboard is take charge of my area. I don't let anyone near me that I'll hit if I cut. The only good surf spots in my area are controlled by benny's so I can tell them off cause I'm a local and benny's are just excuses for life.
