Comments on: Waves of Peculiarity: Steps Towards A More Sustainable Surf http://www.phoresia.org/?p=407 - stripping surfing back down to its most elemental form Thu, 10 Jun 2010 16:24:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: MoBoogie http://www.phoresia.org/?p=407&cpage=1#comment-7725 MoBoogie Thu, 05 Mar 2009 16:13:56 +0000 http://www.phoresia.org/?p=407#comment-7725 Brilliant article, best thing I've read in a long time. The surf here where I'm from has so much potential for everytype of wave and surfer and it's a shame to see most people just going to the same usual easy to find spots and then getting down on the conditions or crowds or thinking it isn't as good as whereever the mags are telling them to go. I hope this article inspires a lot of surfers to take a second look and learn to better appreciate how incredible surfing can be. I just wish it was warmer here. cheers Brilliant article, best thing I’ve read in a long time.

Good to see you on Phoresia. You coulda done a whole bit on Laird and that quote. I have the vid in which he makes that statement. It bothers me every time I hear it. It's not for me to deny anyone THEIR religious experience; they happen and people start believing. But the moment someone says "there has to be..." because of their religious experience, I withdraw. I admire him on the water, but I wish I'd never heard Laird make that claim. Good piece, Pete. Good to see you on Phoresia. You coulda done a whole bit on Laird and that quote.
