Fair enough, surfing sucks. But then again, for all that, and compared to all the other things in life that suck too, it remains an amazingly enjoyable thing to do.

Hey Bob
Thanks for writing. The guy’s a reader, and we don’t know if he’s a surfer, but the most he’s getting paid is a pair of shoes for writing this contentious piece for a reader contribution page – you seem not to have noticed this aspect.
Anyway, though we totally disagree with it, like the writer, you are of course welcome to your opinion and we appreciate you taking the time to write it for us all.
As for never selling any magazines, you should cheer up and adopt a friendly, happy tone. Salesmen who do that usually succeed better than miserable ones who cuss and grouch a lot.
Just a thought.

how can an editor of a magazine be so tunnel visioned? Is he writing this from his own experiences?

All mostly true. But fuck it, I have been surfing for 30 years and you just made me want to pull on my wettie for an extra long sesh.
You either surf or you don’t, there is no in between.

Can’t be denied, it’s just a matter of degrees among the committed surf tribe. You left out the way some surfers treat less accomplished riders out in the line-up and the gritty details about CO2, which enters the atmosphere at a rate of over two pounds per gallon of gasoline.
