@Mighty: It’s a tribe I’ll be a part of for the rest of my life . It’s hands down the best part of my day when I get go out and catch a few good waves.

That must be one heck of a good tribe!! Lots of fun, too! from what I read. keep it up Srini. It’s a good thing you’re close to the beach. I’m far away from one so I can’t really explore it.

@srini – I was petrified. I picked off one that was steep ~7 and very fast, but not barreling, called it a day. Went back later at -2 tide. Reef looks fangs sticking up. Won’t go back without a helmet.

@Sarah: I don’t know if that’s good or bad thing . But I’m glad you got a laugh out of this post. I had fun writing it.

@Dave: Yeah, I imagine certain parts of Socal are full of people like that. I’m definitely not in that school. I throw my beatup board in a camry and head for the beach. It might be a while before I get to barreling reef breaks.

My buddy Shred says these smoke and mirrors folks purchase a “prosthetic lifestyle.”

The shiny, fat longboard. The new yellow Xterra. All the high end this and that.

In contrast to the two brothers who took me to their private break… in a beatup pickup… with rotten yellow short boards with brown spots, on a jagged reef break that barrels. Dangerous. Miles from the car. Empty.

ROFLMAO!! I read this whole thing CERTAIN, totally, 100% convinced that you were talking about blogging. Only to find that your were talking about surfing – I should have guessed!

I was gonna stop reading a lot sooner, except I wanted to know how the ‘tribe members’ could identify each other by clothing – I couldn’t figure out what clothing all bloggers would have in common!!

Thank you so much for making me laugh – you don’t know how much I really needed it today.
