SP said...supanimal said...Ah, that famous soccer tune 'you'll never walk alone' just started playing in my head.....mate, I've been told just a couple times that the vent won't make a bit of difference.
Got to have a thick skin to ride a sup......and post on these forums. Thanks for the laugh.....again.
But you have to admit, you did ask to pay off a 14' sup, are the worlds best surfer / shaper and hell man who beat the odds with a broken neck (with X-rays and all).
Take the piss take as just that......it hurts otherwise.....and I know.
**** bit tough having a go at a bloke about breaking his neck, maybe use google to actually see who this guy is before jumping in him like he is a 20 cent special at the crack whores. Not targeting you SA just thought the personal comments directed at him are a step to far, sure call his boards **** and his attitude crap if that's you're opinion but personal attacks, bit school yard. ( btw SA nice boards you had on Crimebay 2, the 8 ftr looked good are you updating?)
But just geez some people pimp the **** out of it on here and don't disclose any commercial interest, this bloke came straight out and said, I'm in this and have a look, sure he maybe could worded better but who really cares. He was just trying to get across who they were, what there experience was and what they were trying to do. No different to lots of others who put stuff up here.
& at shaper, hit Nev for some advertising coin and support seabreeze although after the reaction you got I could understand if you walked away
I found this in 10 seconds and ther were many more, call it self promotion if you want but
He Sounds like a good bloke to me, with a pretty inspirational story.
We first met Jamie when we had only just opened up. We had an old, used, beat up SUP for sale and this guy rocked up and asked if he could buy it. He told me that he used to ride for a few companies but had broken his neck in Bali a few years ago and could no longer surf.
The surgery he had on his spine prevented him from lifting his head which in turn stopped from being able to see when he was laying on a surfboard.
We instantly hooked him up with the best deal possible and he walked out with the old SUP and a huge smile, stoked that he could finally get in the ocean again.
A week later someone came in and told me that they had seen him pull someone from the water on this new board and bring them back to life before returning them to an awaiting Ambulance on the shore. We then kept hearing stories about this guy (Jamie) paddling out in huge surf and taking off behind the rock at Currumbin Alley. Then the photos poured in of Jamie smashing the lip, doing 360′s and carving perfect arcs.
We sponsored him straight away!
Jamie is now our crash test dummy for most of our SUPs and we are proud to have him actively involved with our store. Not only is he one of the nicest blokes you will ever meet, he is also one of the best Stand Up Paddle Boarders in Australia.
Although Jamie has been to hell and back with his severe injuries, which continue to impair his day to day living, he will never complain, always smile and remain positive and go out of his way to help others. Jamie donates his time to people with disabilities and shares his stoke with them.
Jamie is a true patriot for the sport of Stand Up Paddle Boarding and an ambassador for The Surfboard Warehouse.
Jamie O'Meara is now running Stand Up Paddle Board lessons through our store and using his wisdom to help others love and appreciate his favourite sport.
