Nice guys, quitting the corporate world & surf savants.

I consider myself an all round nice guy. Yes, I know in this day and age, even the term “nice guy” has weirdly negative connotations, but anyway. I’m a nice guy in the original sense of the phrase. Thus, I would never call an actual kook, a kook. Instead, I say really nicely: “Nooit bru you’re not a kook, you’re just really unlucky at surfing. Gherkin Curtain, Burpin’ Twerkin

It’s really tough being a surfer in South Africa with all the theft, muggings and general robbery going on. My car has been broken into so many times, all I have left is my wetsuit, my surfboard and only one of my kidneys. I’m typing this from a mate’s cell, and here comes some sus-looking dude. Hey, he’s pulling out a knife! Hey wait a minute nnsnq8e9e8q1099$&zckjs jdbnb lkjlkj,mn,zey21468cxvhhjk

I’ve given up on the corporate world rat-race to focus on more quality time with my family. Of course the bonus is more surfing time as well! So I quit my high powered finance job, and I am a now freelance boardbag repair mechanic and stay at home dolphin trainer. Han Sanitiser, Hair-in-the-Drain

People have sometimes told me I’m some kind of surf genius. Maybe even a surf savant. Okay, so nobody has actually said stuff like that, but they really should. For example, when it comes to surfing, I can:

  1. Tell the difference between a shortboard and a longboard without even needing to ride either of them
  2. Tell the number of fins on any surfboard by counting them
  3. Wiggle faster than most people walk when my wetsuit is only around my shins
  4. Easily smell the difference between surf wax and any kind of pizza, based only on scent
  5. Teach any species of stoat to surf

I may not have a moustache or a mullet, but I do have several surfboards, two wetsuits, a fair singing voice, the ability to wax a baord without looking down, a month’s worth of traffic light flyers in my car, mild acne and a devil may care attitude. Oddly Specific, Nopeville
