Which surf site brings the greatest amount of good to the greatest number of sentient beings? Yes, that's right, according to utilitarian principles (both act and rule) one should follow swellnet.

Wow, there ya go! Nice to have you aboard, Peter (assuming you read the forums).

I'm kind of hoping he's already an anonymous poster on the forums.
Pretty sure he's been brought up in a number of discussions too.

He may be on the forums! Who could it be?

thermalben Monday, 11 Apr 2016 at 12:35 pm new

I can think of several forums users who he definitely ain't.

Interesting .

First mention in the New York Times Ben ?!?

I was sure the W.I.L or Tow vs Paddle threads were going to get you there .
But who would of thunk it would be the Surf reports !!!

Then again now we have his attention maybe he'll do some studying of comments / threads behaviour . You know poly-personalities , their place in society and such . Maybe the ethics of locking oneself in a Hall of Mirrors .

Well, Craig's sleuthing for Kelly's wave pool got us mentioned (and linked) in the UK's Daily Mail, and America's Washington Post and San Francisco Gate. 

But yeah, NY Times is a lovely notch on the belt.

Geez, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, animal rights, making bread and Swellnet. Interesting, must have been the shark chats.
