You know who sucks? Wave snobs. You know the kind: if the waves aren’t perfect, they’re not out there. They only ride shortboards and are generally very average surfers. “Nah, it’s too small,” they say, peering out at perfect little waist-high runners, perfect for logging. “I’m going to wait until the tide drops.” Then they go home and sit on their couch checking surf reports, wishing they were somewhere else, and eating pork rinds. Here’s a tip, if you’re that person: get a longboard and quit taking surfing so seriously. Also, keep it up with the pork rinds, because you’re doing that right. Those things are delicious.
Dolphins, on the other hand, don’t give a shit. They’ll surf whatever wave there is, and they don’t even mind that there’s a sweeper in the lineup. How refreshing! This particular stand up guy was surfing at Stone Harbor, NJ back in September when he ran into this crew of locals–and no matter how bad the waves are, it’s never a bad session when you’re sharing it with dolphins.
