ah BB , I do read all of your posts, as I do from Donald....keep your friends close and enemies even closer......

You Mock Jesus , make up a nice little antidote using Jesus , then are insulted because of baseless and insulting accusations ...so its OK for you to insult/vilify , but you can'y accept the result of your actions in someone reciprocating your bad and insulting behaviour?
I think the word Hypocrite applies here BB.......

blindboy Saturday, 6 Apr 2019 at 01:11 pm

Put up or shut up sharkman. Where is this "bad and insulting" material? As for not being able to accept the results of my actions, I answer most posts directed at me. You usually just disappear if anyone challenges your views and then come back a month later with the same old shit like abroken record. You feel free to mock me for drinking lattes and living in a penthouse. Mate I don't ever remember even BEING in a penthouse, more your scene I reckon, and latte nah I make my own coffee. I could mock you for being a sell out, promoting surfing across the globe for your own financial benefit with total disregard for the vast majority of surfers, living the high life in Europe, hanging out with surf celebrities for a bit of reflected glory and be way more accurate than you were about me. Anyway, I' m done with narrow minds, trolls and petty fucking bullshit. See ya ..... well let's hope not eh?
I am pretty much ov

Blowin Saturday, 6 Apr 2019 at 04:24 pm

Flat white every day of the week.

PS Living the high life in Europe doesn’t sound too bad. If Europe is your thing.

Double ristretto latte for mine. The trick is to go to the same place every day so you can order the regular without having to say "double ristretto latte".

blindboy Saturday, 6 Apr 2019 at 05:05 pm

Coffee shop coffee? Nah buy a mocha pot, get into the real thing and fly through the day.

stunet Saturday, 6 Apr 2019 at 05:13 pm

Begin the day in an Atomic way...

These things are heirlooms in my wife's family, people get them as wedding presents and pass them on to the next gen still working.

And then when I'm at work I get "the regular".

blindboy Saturday, 6 Apr 2019 at 05:31 pm

Very impressive Stu! I'm a Bialetti man myself.

zenagain Saturday, 6 Apr 2019 at 06:19 pm

Straight long black, no sugar.

We order by the box Kuku coffee from Vietnam. Has a beautiful, intense flavour, smooth with a natural sweetness.

Can't start the day without one.

blindboy Saturday, 6 Apr 2019 at 07:08 pm

I might as well gloat while you're here zen. We just scored some yellow fin tuna straight off the boat. Sashimi entree, lightly grilled main with sake and ginger. I won't tell you what we paid.

zenagain Saturday, 6 Apr 2019 at 07:17 pm

You don't have to BB but it would have been worth it.

Sounds divine.

zenagain Saturday, 6 Apr 2019 at 08:29 pm

Far from it Blowy, I just like good coffee.

Rabbits68 Saturday, 6 Apr 2019 at 08:45 pm

I don't know much about Derek Hynd apart from what I’ve seen in some surf flicks & read around the traps. Just watched Beyond Litmus. Far out, what a tripper. What a surfer. Unreal....

crg Saturday, 6 Apr 2019 at 09:08 pm

Stu - that is my exact set up Atomic is the best and Zen you're spot on - black no sugar.
Anyone who comes near my coffee with milk gets their hands chopped off.

mattlock Saturday, 6 Apr 2019 at 09:47 pm

Quadruple shot from the stove-top espresso with a little bit of sugar and dash of milk for me. Goes well with a jazz cigarette.

tubeshooter Saturday, 6 Apr 2019 at 10:49 pm

Just got off the beach after a big arvo/evening on some thumper whiting and bream . Awesome sunset, and brilliant star show.
Going back to an earlier query from Guy Smiley about losing bait in a car ? Beats my mind , but they call my beast 'the trawler' for some reason. The seagull shit gets annoying but that's life. There are places in there a Hazmat team wouldn't go near.
Some of the melted console / glovebox wax contains things that would probably need carbon dating .
My rear bumper is often used on the beach as a cutting board , and just after getting my tyres replaced last month, the mechanic told me he had the apprentice gerni the conglomerate of sand , pipi shells, worms, pilchard heads and dried squid that was stopping my tailgate from working properly . legend

GuySmiley Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 05:54 am

Espresso or a long black for me, made properly it’s a bitter and sweet a nectar-like joy.

lostdoggy Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 06:10 am

If I just want the coffee, espresso or long black, if I need a bit of protein energy to get me through without eating, I get a latte.

Sugar ruins coffee. Can't get the taste from my mouth.

sharkman Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 08:53 am

oh BB , because you have a brown ring around your neck , ( not from your latte penthouse ..Quote BB ) you only see your own narcissistic view ....and don't see that religious vilification actually hurts and insults people , bit like racism that you so dearly care about.....both man made ....but when you get angry Laurie...it shows your lack of depth in an argument at least on this forum.......and then you get personal which is a bit like the Hitler Syndrome....intellect falls short , so attack with...??

Now them some damn fine insults for a Sunday morning and shows how far you are removed from reality , especially when you start bagging my persona relative to yours.....you sound like an old jealous wannabe who has been constantly rejected by parts of the Surf Industry ,probably should have tried something real , like being a surfer shaper , so you could rip off the vast majority of surfers wit total disregard , live a high life in Europe ( Amsterdam?) and be reflected in the glory of surf celebs....so you too could be a nearly celeb.......

one of my favourite philosophic quotes," with great power comes great responsibilty of keepin it real!" thankfully you will probably never have great power so moot point!

blindboy Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 09:10 am

One of the huge divisions in the surfing community comes down to wax jobs. Me? I go for a thick well raked layer but a lot of people go for a thin fresh layer. Is there any middle ground?

sharkman Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 09:18 am

BB is that sex wax , and do you have other uses for waxing?

indo-dreaming Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 09:25 am

Never got coffee, just don't like the taste, even things like coffee cake or coffee flavour milk.

I generally drink water but in a social setting i will have a tea, ideally without milk with lots of sugar.

blindboy Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 09:34 am

What not even a kopi susu Indo?

lostdoggy Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 09:45 am

Clean wax jobs are important if you have no top on.
Nice thick raked is fine if you have any sort of neoprene between you and the board.

blindboy Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 09:59 am

I always wear at least a rashee so that makes sense.

factotum Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 10:53 am

Sharkman, do you view questioning the reality of Jesus vilification? Or even indirect commentary that implies Jesus, God, or any other figures or deities don't really exist is vilification?

https://theconversation.com/why-australia-needs-a-religious-discriminat…

"Religious vilification is behaviour that incites hatred, serious contempt for, or revulsion or severe ridicule of a person or group of people because of their religion. Only three states – Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania – currently prohibit religious vilification."

Vilification in regards to law in Queensland for example:

https://www.adcq.qld.gov.au/resources/brochures-and-guides/fact-sheets/…

Interesting.

sharkman Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 11:21 am

facto , no I do not judge anyone who is really questioning the reality of Jesus , there is certainly enough proof to say he did exist......but making fun of or using humor to put down anyone who believes , well , we all believe/have faith in man made concepts such as race and religion...BB only seems to believe race is not the same as religion , which I find very narrow minded and hence BB very shallow and a bit one dimensional.....he also see's the need to make jokes etc about believers ...

I read the links you posted , very interesting to see how much division there is with Religious vilification , and passing new legislation to protect minorities , but at the same time also protecting the 30% of Australians who believe there is no God , which I think covers a lot of the people here on SNet.....who are a minority of non-believers , but seem to revel in insulting believers......would be a bit like me claiming pedophilia is a whiteman's disease...some people still haven't got why I made that statement!

factotum Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 01:00 pm

Yes, I'm not entirely sure what you were aiming at with that statement. It was in the context of the Pell adjudication, yes?

sypkan Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 01:19 pm

"rejected by the surf industry". Ha ha ha!

I refused to learn to shape when I was working at Keyo's I QUIT a job at Rip Curl and I knocked back an opportunity to work for Surfing in California. Boot was pretty much on the other foot there! No regrets, I just wish all my other decisions had been as smart as those three!

Strap yourselves in.

sharkman Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 03:01 pm

Hi Facto , it's so easy to use someone like Pell to justify your opinion on Religion/God , when in fact he is a minority ....so for me to use pedophilia as a whiteman 's disease , it's the same logic BB and others use to justify their disbelief in God.....just use one example or extrapolate an opinion based on a very very small sample of perpertrators !
Like judging all whitemen on a white supremacist 's killing of muslims in NZ...

sharkman Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 03:04 pm

BB ,I said parts of the surf industry , does writing count?

blindboy Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 03:48 pm

Well, I have been published in Surfing World, Tracks, Waves, Surfing, Surfer, Scientific American and The Sydney Morning Herald. Plus three books and bits and pieces here and there for other people's projects. Not sure what the count is on Swellnet, but quite a few! Not a bad CV for a part timer. Oh and along the way I have received a lot of positive feedback from a range of surfers, writers and publishers. Of course I have always had the knack of pissing people off from time to time but it has been amazing how often over the years I ended up having a laugh with them over a couple of beers. Might even happen to you yet

blindboy Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 04:04 pm

.........oh yeh, there was a textbook published by Sydney University as well. Forgot about that one.

AndyM Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 04:28 pm

Ladies and gentlemen, Blindboy's just played a lovely approach shot, very deep with plenty of slice and the ball's kept very low down near the baseline.
The question is, can Sharkman compose himself to attempt a passing shot or will he be forced to hoist up a hail-mary defensive lob?

Blowin Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 04:47 pm

What was the subject of the textbook ?

We all know Sharkman ‘s Hail Mary.....Curren’s cutty photo on the logoless board.

At the apex of the parasitic rag traders usurpation of surfing it was a glance behind the curtain . The stark realisation that all that was required to conduit amazing surfing was a great surfer and a great shaper.

The brand of clothes and the 2 cent sticker on the nose of the board were superfluous bullshit.

Not Sharkman’s doing - bugger tried to sell the Norwest to shift a few units - but he builds the single essential item to surf.

simba Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 05:14 pm

Well BB gotta say i have enjoyed a lot of your threads on swellnet and not so much some of your views on some subjects but everyones entitled to their opinion as the way it should be ,makes swellnet very interesting reading.

stunet Sunday, 7 Apr 2019 at 05:18 pm

I’ve never been into cooked breakfasts, a good homemade muesli the best Greek yogurt I can find and plenty of seasonal fruits, same with my wife .... unless a buffet is on offer and then she goes in head first ... bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushroom and then she has her muesli all the while saying she has to get her money’s worth! She’s a disgrace.

sharkman Monday, 8 Apr 2019 at 07:40 am

oh BB , is all you have done is write words , published , ha pissed people off with some of what you wrote ...now there's an M O to be proud of.......you never got to the next stage of actually doing anything , at least I sold my soul , profited enormously from the sale , don;t give a rats about surfing in general and fuck am really old , not white , but am starting a surf supremacist cult , might need a good writer , know anyone?
