LISTEN: The Surfing Podcast Ep 5 - Worst Excuses For Dropping In, Wavestorm Kooks, Summer Crowds & More OC Sharks Who writes multiple articles about themselves being coached on how to surf better that include accompanying video clips and then leaves the commenting function open on said articles? A surfer/journalist/uber human with balls of pure titanium (and possibly even adamantium) infused steel. Some folks' online comments were (unwarrantedly) brutal and Dashel took them all in stride. He even saves some of the best/worst comments and hatemail he gets in a special folder on his computer desktop. Dashel was  a lot of fun to have on the show and interview.

Episode 4 On this episode of The Surfing Podcast we discuss the worst excuses given after burning another surfer, why Wavestorm kooks need to go away, lackluster summer surf and the continued Southern California great white shark infestation. FREE STUFF: Win A Free Pair Of SurfEars Earplugs Right Now The Surfing Podcast - Worst Excuses For Dropping In, Wavestorm Kooks, Summer Crowds & More OC Sharks Here are some of the hilarious responses to the question "What's The Worst Excuse You've Ever Heard From Someone Who Dropped In On You" on Facebook and Instagram. And here's an article featuring the best of each. In this episode we also discuss the scourge of the Wavestorm soft-top surfboard and how its proliferation has affected lineups across the world. Our host also complains about the popularity of the Hayden Shapes Hypto Krypto and how this surfboard basically turns mediocre surfers into mediocre surfers who catch twice as many waves while doing half as many exciting or functional maneuvers on those waves. And we talk about "back-paddling," the mystic art of sitting closer to the beach than a surfer taking off at the peak of a wave and trying to take off behind him after he's already up and riding. Also commonly known by surfers and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as "being a f***ing weasel" or "weaseling." It wasn't mentioned during the show but surfers guilty of back-paddling should face the same harsh prison sentences and public ridicule as child molesters and people who abuse animals. Like it should be full-on added the U.S. Constitution. Effective immediately. Seriously.

Here's a picture of how every kook who paddles out on a Hayden Shapes Hypto Krypto at your local break thinks they surf on that surfboard. Here's how every person who isn't Craig Anderson actually surfs on their Hayden Shapes Hypto Krypto surfboard. Summer crowds and waves drive me absolutely bonkers.
