"“Surfers are the ‘throw-aheads’ of mankind, not the dregs; they aren’t the black sheep of humanity, but the futurists and they are leading the way to where man ultimately wants to be. The act of the ride is the epitome of ‘be here now’, and the tube ride is the most acute form of that. Which is: your future is right ahead of you, the past is exploding behind you, your wake is disappearing, your footprints are washed from the sand. It’s a non-productive, non-depletive act that’s done purely for the value of the dance itself. And that is the destiny of man.”

Yeah the day after he stopped posting here a photo of his appeared on CW. Pretty funny turn of events, at least from this end. Interesting thing is that a few weeks after that I had a long conversation with Jeff and it was straight up an amazing talk. He waxed lyrical on what the Streaky Bay coastline meant to him, revealed big picture thinking about how surfers over there should interact, and also told me about a stand of trees he planted as reparation for all the trees his forefathers cut down.
The whole conversation would fit comfortably in the classic quotes that this thread is about, and I mean that sincerely.

Irreverent surf journo from the 80s and 90s. Got his start penning Lash Clone stories for Tracks mid-80s when he was still a teenager. Later wrote longer pieces for Tracks including "Indonesian Stumblings", an early article on the coasts far from Bali. In the 90s worked for ASL doing, among other things, "Operation Tubequest" where he piled a Falcon with surfers and hit different parts of the coast. The Eyre Peninsula section is where the quote Uplift mentioned came from. It ended up being one of the coast's more infamous chapters and ensured the hordes would stay away for a few more years.
DC also wrote a few features for the defunct Deep Magazine and is now a children's author.

There's a quote in Rabbit's book that I like. Nothing particularly witty but poignant in its own way, if a tad melodramatic. After surfing the North Shore solidly for 15 years Rab has a chance meeting with Shaun on a big, ugly day at Second Reef Pipe. "Just like old times," says Shaun. The remark puts Rab in a nostalgic state and when the next big set hits Rab defies all logic, puts on his old warrior mask, and goes right. The barrel and subsequent beating is florid in description ending with the line: "And that, in all honesty, is the last great thing I ever did."

Eme's Eason was a walking quote machine. An entertainment factory. I do hope this doesn't offend, but he was going on and on and on and on and on and... about his mate Peter McCabe coming to blacks. By the time the poor guy got there, the whole southern hemisphere had been tuned, was waiting to see him surf, and hopefully get some of his famous boards. It was such a deluxe morning, live entertainment all round. Half his boards were snapped/creased on the roof racks on the drive over. Meanwhile, camsless had only been around a bit, and most didn't know him, and hadn't seen him surf. He was donning his custom dong bonnet, (as he says, truly, genuinely functional and easily the best... however not exactly chick magnet material, or quite what groovy surfees would have in their carefully selected, cutting edge, fannsler and parkity outfits). It was right in potato chip era, and camslesse's 4 inch thick, beat up dunga, and tattered old ripcurl, the famous, recycled car tyre model that always ended up turning green, didn't help the mob appraisal. I am sure camsless loves that shit, when later the unsuspecting, once guffawing pack are going over his head in the lip.
Anyway, after emes had prepared the scene well, he headed out in his boat to film the spectacle, and get some footage of that poor kook in the old dong bonnet getting flogged as well. Poor McCabe hadn't surfed for quite a while, and his last, previous surf was flawless, manicured Gland, a bit different to the cold, raw, messed up, new, west swell slurping in at blacks. Plus he had let himself get out of shape. He got hurled out of a couple straight up, and to his credit bolted in and replaced his crumpled boards, straight back out for more. Eme's meanwhile was under intense pressure in the channel, dodging the wide west things, whilst we were peppering him with an ever growing, no viable answer onslaught of it aint the east coast jibes. Finally McCabe got hurled out of one last one, 0 for 10 so to speak, and eme's completely cracked. While the poor guy was getting sledge hammered in the impact zone, all we heard echoing around the bay at 10,000 watts per channel was,
'For fuck's sake, you're Peter fucking McCabe, you're a fucking legend, you're fucking embarrassing me, now fucking well do something!!!!!'
Meanwhile, camsless was having fun getting spat out at the by now silent pack of fleeing ex squawkers.
Although, eme's summed that up later in the post match summary too, with a by then famous, signature quote, that he'd used to explain others as well...
'So he should have a fuckin' go too, have a look at the poor cunt, what else has he got to live for?'
McCabe hung around for a while, he was an awesome guy, and, as everyone knows, could really surf, and was a good sparring partner for eme's. The camsless story took on a bit of a pointless twist and break from...
Just to be clear, this isn't the story I mentioned before about the big gun, shaping legend that came to blacks. There's been heaps of ludicrously entertaining moments, but that particular one almost defies logic and believability, seemingly for ever spiralling into a, no surely that couldn't happen... shit it fucking did, script that even Seinfeld would pay absolutely any amount for. As I said, its too harsh, and I couldn't in clear conscious do it to the poor guy. I will protect him to the end.

And of course then there was one of the main, and at first, hapless, but very, very quickly, extremely willing instigators, frosty. So fucking tempting.

Hehehe.... Reminds me of a "name" that pulled back at old woman...... Mind you... Was mid low tide and the first wave of the set......
I remember taking spart out to the island for his first time..... Now me old kiwi buddy always used to whinge about the softness of Boiling pot and outer ti tree.... The bloke surfed 12 to 15 foot sunset in the pro class trials as a 17yo.... 3 times on the cover of tracks, all at big Anga... Loved backdoor pipe.... 3 times kiwi champ......
Island left was about 6 foot.... Outgoing tide.... East swell so the right was wrapping around the island and causing a bit of backwash on the last section just to ad more spice..... Anyway, I take off deep and late..... That fuckn barnacle pops up, quick adjustment drawn out bottom turn and into the pit, but lost a fair bit of speed...... Whomp!........ Thought I broke my elbow..... Bit of a gash... Ended up being a "stinger"....Feeling came back after a few minutes.... Spart just grinned as he does..... He then nails a ripper, showing all his backhand skills from years in NZ and multiple 1970/80s trip to Bali....
He then takes off real deep on his second wave..... The reef again pops up (now this reef is so sharp you just graze it and you are cut - nasty barnacles)....... Anyway, spart has an "island tatoo" on his shin. hehehe.....
We keep surfing for another hour....... As we paddle back to the mainland ( solid 20+ minute paddle), spart simply says...." Not a bad wave bro....... A real wave......"
Now.... The righthander...... hehehe....

Funniest seppo comment was sitting out at thunders with my mates on a Mentawais boat trip, towards the end of the trip so we'd had our share all week previous and it was and flat everywhere else, so thunders was 3-4ft and nobody was hurrying to get their share. Needless to say we weren't impressed when a boatload of seppos showed up full of beans and started 'hootin' and hollerin', high fiving eachother, complimenting their friend's on their last ride but then telling them how it could have been better.... standard west coast hype.
Me and a mate were paddling back out having a laugh at how ridiculous the situation had got, when one of the seppos catches one off the peak and draws out a long cutty on a fat wall, does the roundhouse and grabs some wall to slow up for the section just in front of us and yells out 'COME AAAAN BABY!!!' trying to tell the wave to barrel for him aaaaaaaaaaahahaha fuck seppos come out with the stupidest shit sometimes.

i mentioned this once before, along the same lines. My mate had gone to Hawaii and ordered a quiver of 3 Minamis for blacks. He was/is super fussy with his boards, and had been stressing over every detail. When they were shaped and ready to glass, he went in to check them out. Minami was the man at the time and he said a heap of other guys were in, picking up boards etc. He was wondering about the thickness, so mentioned something like should they be a sixteenth of an inch thinner. Not sure of the exact quote, but he reckons Minami just looked around the room, looked at him, picked up a fine sheet of paper and super slightly grazed the deck of one, saying 'there ya go, whatdya reckon... will that do it?'
They were insane boards, he, arny, surfed them insane too before they all busted, despite the era of the rovings strips routed in the blanks. He tried everything, spent zillions trying to have them duplicated, but no one could do it.

skull, 1462482200
When you're surfing you're not thinking about where you parked the car or what you're going to do when you grow up or what you're going to buy when you've got lots of money. You know, you're just there. You're in the moment. And I think in a contemporary world, that's a rare privilege.

Back when the ASP commentary team was supplemented by whichever random ex pros were hanging around and it was all shit talking and nostalgia, someone told a story about Poto David (who'd just appeared out of some bushes ). When asked what his strategy was for his heat, he said, 'I will float over ze section to win ze contest'.
For the next hour or so every time a surfer did a floater the whole commentary booth with chime in with '...and so and so 'FLOATS OVER THE SECTION TO WIN ZE CONTEST'!, then they'd all fall about laughing and forget to commentate the rest of the wave.
Still chuckle thinking about it.

Ha ha the last trip I did over there, 2019, the captain and crew were calling it HT's. Yet when we went around the corner, it was Lances Left!!!! Ive always adhered to Lances right, in respect.
Blowin, 1611036195
I met Lance at LHI back in about 95(?) and he told me the story of finding the joint and the subsequent interactions with crew who have a little less respect for the preservation of a quiet line up than he did . My words not his.
Anyway....friendly enough bloke. He found it so it’s always Lance’s right.
