What sucks about surfing is the culture/participants. Surfing is better than skating -you cannot beat waves. But skating is SO much more chilled out. As soon as it's too crowded in 'the water' you feel you shoulda just went skating. Also with surfing you get as much stand up time on your surfboard in a lifetime as you do in a month on your skateboard.
Oath.
Christian Fletcher's bang on with this shit.
Surfer's are so selfish in the water, which is understandable given the rarity of good waves for most.
As soon as someone starts ruling on a Skateboard, everyone's getting hyped.
The one I find most ironic is how Skaters are often way too fucking cool for everyone, especially other skaters, when the majority of us ended up Skating as a result of being weirdo's, outcasts and general nerds that never found a place on the football field, etc.
