You are the highest respected surfer in my eyes.

Thank you for being honest.

Where have I insulted another TTer

I have bashed the activity because it is NOT a sport. I have also mentioned now 3 times that I have surfer friends. I also made it known that I don't mind the person but hate the wake. Not one time did I insult an individual.

Seems like you do mind the person, as seen by the various insults below:

I would say any TTer that surfs would consider those insults. Or are those terms of endearment?

Let's have a history lesson here.


We first have slalom, trick and jump. We also introduce Barefooting soon after.


Mastercraft builds only a 3 event boat for over 20+ years.

The skiers eventually had problems getting to perfect glass water, private lakes, practice times in ideal conditions. Then we create wakeboarding.


New sport evolves. It requires talent but not the strict rules of a course, perfect times, exact speeds, and no one has to do the same tricks or run the same pattern. This makes it easier to learn the tricks you want vs a set skill of 6 buoys at a set speed and shortest line legnth.


Then comes wake surfing.

This is for the washed up of the washed up lake people. The individual who has no skills but wants to have skills. The fat drunk mans sport. The sport that is for the lazy who doesn't want to get winded or out of breath.

Seriously no athletic ability is needed. It is a sport for the person who has their refrigerator next to their recliner in the living room.



If you surfers want to moan about my statements then fine.

A three event skier can pick up any other waterski activity.

Look at Geno Yauchler... The man can run a slalom course, barefoot, trick ski like pimp daddy, jump, wakeboard, and has the world record in sky ski. I'm sure he can surf as that takes no skill. He was a 3 event skier


How many surfers can sky sk (inverts)i, wake board (inverts), trick ski, run a slalom course, barefoot, and jump?




Surfing is for the guy who is a lazy and doesn't not habe the skills to be a real skier.


All in all. Wakeboarding was created because slalom eas too hard. Then surfing was created because wakeboarding was too hard. The next sport will be just launching a boat because surfing is too hard.





I want to make a shirt that would say


I can't do 3 event and I suck at wakeboarding so I took up surfing.


Surfing is for the never will be's, just like tubing.

You are cracking me up!
I've got a open invitation to prove your point! Come to the Northwest and I'll meet you at any lake or river and you can show us how you do a 360 or 720 while surfing, staying in the wave, and then give us a shiv-it and finish by catching air off the wave and grabbing the board. By the way, you need to start off the platform without a rope and finish on the platform. Hell, it so easy you won't need a swim suit because it takes no skill to surf.

Can you do any of these things?

OMG- Just finished reading this whole thread. Was laughing so much I forgot what it started as. Had to go back to check the initial comment. Still don't get how handguns and wake surfing are related.

Post up a vid of the tricks.

I'm sure it would not be hard to learn


I would also be willing to bet that the guy surfing has 3 event skills, wake boarding skills, or came from a strong skill set prior to picking up a surfboard. Therefore that person was a real skier at one time.
