Hey there! Thanks for your interest. I'm passionate about sharing the joy of surfing while keeping the balance with overexposing the spots. That's why I chose not to share specific locations publicly when I created the channel. I encourage everyone to embrace the adventure of discovering spots on the go. Appreciate your understanding and support. Keep enjoying the waves!

LOL. Before leashes, swimming for your board was part of surfing. A big part of surfing. You had to be a real waterman back then.

True that! So if a leash rips today, it's instant time travel :)

@@jellybowl7332 Not really. Waves were waaaaay less crowded. And surfing was still an alternative lifestyle, not all crowded and hyped up. Surf spots used to be a few cars parked in the middle of nowhere. No throngs of onlookers. Just guys there to surf. Newer board designs, leashes, tow in surfing; they have all helped to make wave riding more radical than ever before. And I totally admire and respect that. But like classic movies and black and white, like classic albums recorded in mono, there was a real thrill, real beauty to surfing back then, too.

@@reddiver7293 yeah i get that but elitist comments like 'back in the day we didnt use leashes', 'back in the day it was so much better' 'back in the day it was uncrowded' is just gloating. these same dudes who were so soulful are also the same dudes who sold out and commercialized surfing and the same dudes who now wear the thickest longest leashes in the lineup on their 10 foot mals. You still find beauty in surfing you just have to go out of your way because its not handed to you on a silver platter with empty lineups everywhere and uncrowded waves like 'back in the day'.

I am totally pro constructive feedback and thoughtful ideas that contribute to the community. But random meaningless bashing, I totally oppose it and don't understand where that comes from.

@@SurfwithPippo Something that insecure people do to make themselves seem powerful. Pre-leash days, there was a different vibe at line ups. Nobody spoke about it. It was from the fact that every one of us spent significant time swimming for our boards. Which caused a much higher lever of being a waterman (or waterwoman for that 1%). When leashes became a thing, the twerp factor at lineups increased dramatically.

That's an interesting thought that the vibes changed with leashes - still there are those nice sessions, where everybody is simply enjoying what we love doing and also being stoked for each others waves :)

@@SurfwithPippo When there are enough waves for everybody, it's a warm love fest at the lineup. When too many riders with not enough sets, it's all about alpha males snarling over who gets to feed first.
