Blowin and Herc maybe?
And it's gotta be the OG GaryG for Eroticjeff surely?

indo-dreaming Thursday, 5 Dec 2024 at 08:40 pm new

Blowin & Herc that would be scary, i recall them saying here they met on a surf trip too.

Yeah Gary G and Erotic Jeff would be a good fit.

I recon me and the dill have definitely chatted before. Every time I surf the point I always look for an old man stuck in the whitewash and wonder if it’s him.

Dont try too hard just relax, your fine 99% of the time, you just have lots of passion about certain things.

Don’t let passion override your ability to consider or comprehend another’s words.

imagine the co-produced art you could create together during down time on an off-grid summer safari..)

Id be up for it, if it was filmed so everyone could have a laugh.

Maybe as a short docco/social experiment just me and Guy on a remote surf trip surfing and painting.

A Swellnet series called butting heads, Burleigh & Roadkill would be another good one, who else? maybe Southern raw & Andy (im sure they would get on fine though), and for longtime Swellnetter's, get Blowin & Blindboy together, but for the final highlight of the series maybe Stunet & Erotic Jeff

Not me..only the most amazing tube riders and pros and semi pros and GC’s best are surfing the point…easy to acknowledge you would be up there. Me on the other hand …….waaaay down the point hoping to catch a couple of rubbish waves that you would pull off and not waste your skill level on. :)

The forums have been a chore for the last few months but change is afoot. In a few weeks, a new year begins and with it a new start. It won't quite be zero tolerance but pretty close to it when it comes to things such as repetitive posting - got that Sexy Jeff? - and argument by Youtube - hear that Jelly Flater?

It'd be nice to get the place back to where it was when many people posted on a broad range of topics rather than the usual walruses bleating the same old shite.

It might piss a few people off...but fuck it. Those few people are causing it a slow death anyway.

Please clean up this mess. This YouTube business is killing everything. The allure of this forum is to come and share the ideas with different minded people in written format. Yeah, it’s old school but it’s nice and refreshing when compared to the onslaught of social media. No point putting the effort into writing a post when you know it will be buried by 20-30 YouTube videos.

Follo. Agree with you there. Swellnet has become pale and grey of late.
It’s just YouTube on repeat play.

I’ve said it before, I like genuine contributions with personal thoughts on topics, whatever that may be. Not some preordained or revamped information from someone else’s thoughts or agendas. AW

You've gotta develop some range, Sexy Jeff.

Can tell you mean well but you're only a level up from the bearded guy with the sandwich board at Central Station.

Here's a clue: If you type what is ostensibly the same message bar a word here or there, and after fifty repeats still the only response is abuse then maybe, just maybe the issue is with you.

Except that the situation changes everyday
So no it’s not the same message
It’s an ever changing experiment into an unknown outcome,
And seeing how no one else was posting anything, how is that clogging up?
If someone has something more interesting why don’t they post it ?
And a lot of people will never hear what’s happening, if they only watch mainstream media.

IMHO he is the perfect politician, and was my preferred pick for president over Trump, so hope one day he has another chance.

He takes some of the good aspects of Trump, but without the crazy over the top aspects and language.

And it's a bonus that he is a youngish good looking* family man, with a mix of real life experience, military experience and political experience.

But yes he is the exact opposite of what you would want in a politician, i get that.

* Good for some female voters.

love how meta you are, @jef, but what is that? a cartman YT endorsement from 2007? you are not a reporter, and tertiary sources aren't that interesting to others. People are more than capable of finding many sources for many things without being directed to a particular biased, monetised clip, (there'll always be another such, arguing against).

If you don't like others' posts, maybe not a site for you. This 'mainstream media' trope is sounding more and more like the swell against a perceived 'mainstream music' (bob dylan and the cars?) and lead to the 'alternative music' swindle I grew up with, (the 'alternative' taking up 80% of a record shop's floorspace). Good luck to you, mate, what'd you get up to today? Please don't get martyrish, what's going on all makes sense.

Well since my last post , there’s been a 3 hour YouTube from quadzilla
2 posts from @Indo , one being political
I think Hiccups posted something political
Not to mention Adam12 , super freak AW sometimes, old fish guy, salty someone, and I’m sure you’ve posted political stuff as well
etc if I wanted to look back,
So it’s a USA thread , so why not talk about the USA
What I did today has nothing to do with the USA, so maybe you need a chit chat thread
Just saying
Didnt@ Indo tell us about Desanto and quadzilla tell us about Putins mate , etc so I’m not into selective criticism.
