Your just jealous that a chick can surf Teahupoo and you cant

[duncman88]

laird hamilton is the big wave master

[clarkewi]

I think you're on to something......that babe's got more "sack" than 100 guys. And it shows that, at that high level, its all in the "heart" anyway. Bettys can do anything their sweet little hearts desire but they shouldn't allow themselves to be too drawn into the "plumage display rituals". Otherwise they are showing they secretly "envy" the boys. What did Freud call that "envy" ??? Ahhh errr I forget...

Maya Gabeira sucks at surfing. How the hell did she win. She cant even turn

[surflyer]

Collins is truly an inspiration in persistency...to be dogged or skindogged to take the punishment of wipeouts to arrive at a tube so beautiful that only God could create for such a man to surf.
