I hope this isn't 'advertising' as such, but I have a mildly humorous 'onion'-style surf blog at

asl-insidethegoldmine.blogspot.com/

and welcome your opinion / feedback.

cheers.

Gold mine indeed. That's wicked writing. The Spina Bifida one is a bit much, but the SUP zombies is gold. So are the rest.

Pretty durned good.

Maybe send a link to those turkeys at The Chaser so they can be shown how to be satirical and funny - tastefully.

But as for those enthusiasts who regularly employ jet skis to tow in surf situations where paddling is still a functional option, the survey data is particularly damning.


LOL.

You can actually write, all proper'n'stuff.

hey Sausage, not related to Rupert... just as well cos I'd be spectacularly bad at being wealthy... I'd be the 'out of control' one you'd read about in the trash mags ... in and out of rehab, driving my Bentley into the pool... all that guff...

Just have to quote this bit...

"Though an irradiated ocean might be a fair price to pay for the final eradication of such annoying and useless detritus, it would be a shame to lose all that potentially recyclable plastic.”

Far out this is gooood stuff. Love the zombie one

“In cinematic terms, the SUP surfer ticks the three boxes of your classic Zombie character” says Romero's Director of Photography, Alex Perkins. “One, they've got to move stiffly, slowly and relentlessly. Two, the consequences of being caught by one and joining their ranks must strike irrational fear into you. Three, there's got to be an element of hilarity in there.


Brilliant!!!
