Haha leave it to Slater to come up with a genius idea like a human sound machine.He could even dress up like a bat and soundwave his enemies to the apocalypse of hell! Great Article @ Surfer Mag thx for the laugh!

mmm. no. we don’t need guns. we dont “need” to kill people or animals. ok. maybe fish. but it can stop there. there’s too much time wasted on talking about violence. it has nothing to do with manliness in 2012. the violence culture is a cancer. there’s 26 families on the East Coast where there is no happiness this Christmas. the light of their lives was put out. 20 dead 6 year-olds!!!!! there is nothing sadder than this. nothing. find something else to write about Lewis Samuels. and whatever religion you are following? find something better. it’s not doing you any good.

Surfer doesnt need violence to sell magazines. either.

Surfers are not attracted to violence.

They’re attracted to happiness, the power of the ocean, and?

and beauty.

nothing violent about that.

I’m no pussy but this article is really insensitive.
the last thing we as surfers need to be doing is associating ourselves with violence. especially after what’s happened the last few weeks.

it’s no surprise to anyone but this proves that not only are these surfers a bunch of idiots, so are the writers and editors at Surfer.

take this article down.

Right, this is the last comment I will do on this article, I promise… In my humble opinion there is a really great article here about how Surfers are the pure breed, the chosen ones, the outliers, that through facing adversity day in day out in the water have made themselves (in Bruce Springsteen’s words) “tougher than the rest”

Stupid article. You are a surf magazine, talk about surf. Explain me why the WCT as less level of surfing than the surfing we are watching everyday in the sites… why Jordy and Julian surf 50% of their surfing in the CT to get thru them heats… how guys like Yadin nichol, or Dusty pain get out… this is what you have to talk about…
Do you think the end of the world is funny?? So, you must be stupid like this article.

Pretty sure I heard Dorian comment during the Pipe Masters that one of the animals he bowhunts is goat. Goat. You know, those animals that just stand there and eat grass. So I dunno – seems like if/when the apocalypse hits, he might have some trouble hunting all the scared-crapless animals and people.

Jimmy – In answer to your “when else can you put it out” question, I’d offer “how about never.” Some things are bigger than a Surfer Magazine. Even the edgiest of comics are setting their gun material aside right now – however unrelated to the shooting of 20 kids. I don’t really care what Kai Garcia’s weapon of choice is, but do I need to know it’s an AK-47 RIGHT NOW???

I can forgive the utter unfunny-ness of this concept/execution, but the timing? Bad bad bad. If anyone gave a crap about surfers/Surfer Mag, they would be pissed off. But all involved will be spared by the “bro-law” (bro, chill, it’s no biggie) that governs our culture.

Ah come on guys, I didn’t like the piece, but let’s be fair to Surfer, I am sure offence wasn’t given by the timing of the piece, though offence may have been taken. This has nothing to do with what happened in the school and in my mind the timing is ok to put this out, when else can you put it out, definitely not after Friday!

classy surfer

Slow clap for Surfer Mag.

Might not be a bad idea to take current events into consideration before allowing something like this to be posted.

I think this was in “The Big Issue”, usually I enjoy the author’s work, but this struck me as pure filler… Pointless nonsense and not related to surfing in any other way than the fact that the guys being discussed are Professional Surfers. Having said all that my money would be on Mark Healy to be the last man standing.
