I know it has been brought up before but why are there so many people wanting to get into the sport these days that just straight out refuse lessons? or even refuse to listen about why you should have a lesson.

I feel like beating my head against the wall every time i hear the reply "yeah but all my mates do it already and they are really good" or "i have surfed and been in the ocean all my life and i normally pick things up pretty fast"

and just to make things worse i then have to put up with the abuse and attitude when they are storming out of the shop because i will not sell them any gear even if they are waving a hand full of cash literally in my face!

If people know that they know nothing about the sport where do they get the idea that they know enough about it to argue that they do not need a lesson??



Sorry everyone just needed to vent a little bit there.

I was doing a bit of surfing, When I found this,

: The 2003 Australian Burden of Disease Study indicates that tobacco smoking was second behind overweight among the leading causes of burden of disease in Australia. It was estimated that tobacco smoking was responsible for about 8% of the total burden of disease and injury for all Australians (9.5% of total for males and 6.1% of total for females) (AIHW 2006: Begg et al in press).

If tobbacco smoking is only the second highest killer, Shouldn't we be targeting obesity in the same way,
Maybe all chocolate bars should have horrid pics of obese people with rotten teeth on them, ass cheeks hanging over the edges. maybe Fatal heart attack scribed on the top
or change the name to wheeze and cough bars
The government, If serious should just ban cigarettes
Instead of taking kickbacks,
As far as I can see,
If I don't die from a smoking related illness,
I will die from something else,
noone I know has given up and lived forever,
Get A life you useless sheep,
(rant over)
