nice one shmucks,now tell us what you really think.....and don't hide behind someone elses comments ....

I can only take your reposting of Mavericks comments that you endorse and agree with his summation of me,and the philosophies that we have tried to air here??

So lets analyse what you have done in life....you readily admit "living off the spoils of the West Coast" and that you are readily exposing all the west Coast spots...have you ever given anything tangible back to the community...or the word "parasite" comes to mind?...

Do you honestly believe that I have NOT had my share of paddling,pioneering,towing....etc??

your guarantee ,that under your custodianship, that by naming and promoting the west coast for.....well more surfers is part of your ideaology...to....what is your goal..how many surfers in your area before its crowded??

you would welcome a couple of teams of Brazilian surfers with their skis and film crews,as i hear they are on their way??

were you elected a custodian....or you just named yourself.......do you have any parameters when it comes to exposure....

lets start here and see if you can answer all by yourself....or if you have to go back and find someone elses post that you can hide behind!!!

FIG JAM Brutus. Don't see your name in the line up anywhere ya fuckin trout mouth. Just in case u where wondering, no one really give a shit about your opinion. It's parasites like u that make Australia a fucked place to try to get anywhere in life. It's called the tall poppy syndrome u simpleton. When you're paddling into 40ft+ by your self then u should still shut the fuck up. Jealousy is a curse maggot!
Go hard Jeff Rowley, we're all riding vicariously through you brother.

anton...this is how it started i think so its on topic...

estu....nice roundup of how you see the westcoast of SA....i cant speak for anyone else but yeah i love the joint with a passion and my roots go deeper than most...i gaurantee that the westcoast is in good hands because there are a few guys over here that wont ever compromise the place if they see a meathead here being negative or abusing the place....this goes for the so called locals as well.as they can be the biggest peanuts of all!!....so come one come all but make it a sweet place to come back to...i know some of you readers have hammered on about skis-mistakes-aggression in the past but that shit wouldnt even hang a hat!! and never will....

estu...this overzealous naming as you call it is just a statment im think that its all in good hands and like the lives that this coast has already taken a few puny men cant control it anyways....financial gain ?? nah,,....i have lived well and my entire family off the spoils that this coast offers for ever and thats not about to change....are you a tyre kicker?? come kick a couple tyres and we'll see if you can survive hear....fear?? nah not too much of that.... a fear of god is all.....peace

60 Minutes won't happen. Ross lives in Vicco, contrary to your claim. And so far no-one else but you has heard the Ch7 story (of which Brutus said 'RCJ has not taken aany commercial film crews to PC'). Happy to be proven wrong but you're being rather elusive.

Well, don't believe me, that is quite alright by me. But let's get back on the topic and the topic is brutus's obsession with for the past 6 weeks to ridicule Jeff Rowley for doing the exact same things he did in the seventies, I remember as a grommet reading an early edition of Backdoor of brutus's trek down to a well known shipwreck, pictures and cryptic directions, I knew where it was within a week.

Mr Cole seems like he's done a backflip according to Mr Shaun

hear hear...great news for SA surfers;;;;;;according to mr Matson of SWELLNET fame.....the SS3D phenomena will not be schweeping South Australia with Schmucker on the charter vessel SHARK RAIDER 2 any time soon...however 60 minutes may be doing an exclusive story with rowls and young schmuck..

only one person around here in need of therapy... Jiffy/Damir/Schmucko et al., not everyone has the same obsession with this site as you. People can't answer questions if they havent seen them. It is understandable (well maybe not to you, but most normal people) that some people have better things to do than check these forums every 10 mins just in case some mentally unstable individual has asked them a question.
and i dont know why anyone would bother explaining themselves to someone as credible to come out with this doosey.
"It hasn't happened yet, I have heard it is going to." Great source!

as for shmucky....just read the original comments I posted....you know...try reading all the questions are there......try and explain why you posted a the comments from someone who has not answered or been seen since...seems like you want to call me a maggot etc...but dont have the gonads to do so...

The relevance is, why is it okay for you to do the same thing in the same area as rowley at the same age. You are really obsessed with slagging off the guy but you have done it all yourself. And I bet at that time there were some crew that didn;t like the backdoor article and I reckon you would have listened to them as well as rowley is listening to you right now.

brutus Monday, 1 Oct 2012 at 7:21pm

shaun.....back in the early seventies there were hardly any surfers and none down south,we have witnessed since then the explosion and the commercialisation of surfing,including the over population of a lot of surf spots....

you are just making suppositions on what people were thinking then....were you there,and if so where....FJ Rolls knows what he did and it was just for the fame and $,s...and there has been an ever evolving culture that anybody is welcome to come and surf,whereas during the time of backdoor...;there was no cuture....go and watch storm riders,or a day in the life...;where was it...and that was also 30 years ago

it is no longer about the individual,even though shmucks believes the rights of the individual outweigh the rights of the majority...;do you also believe that??

shaun's picture
shaun's picture
shaun Monday, 1 Oct 2012 at 9:39pm

Wasn't storm riders the one where you had to put on a barrel at the bluff to pacify the guys that had been surfing the place for years you guys got there? And a day in the life, well things were simple then , but you still felt the need to mislead your audience where you were surfing, though not very well. You tried to cover it up back then, you thought it was wrong then and it was, just as it is now. But how can you take the high and mighty stance when you did the same thing for the same reason,ego and ego alone, I don't think anyone would do it for the money, get a decent job and you'll earn more.
The only thing I believe Brutus is I want to go surfing.

Shaun,you are a bit stuck like a scratched record. Maybe Brutus can speak from experience as he is trying to portray to you,just as Laird Hamilton has and Jeff Clark and many others.

Different era mate,today's surfing environment and attitudes in general have changed. Would Brutus have done what he did back then if the majority of other surfers at that time were opposed to it??

You will have to ask him that question but you simply cannot compare surfing now to 20 years ago! What was "Ok" to most back then is not so "Ok" now.

FIGJAM did what he did knowing the majority were opposed.

FIGJAM just went ahead anyway.

That's the point I have been trying to get at redneck, 30 years ago the majority of surfers were spewing about what brutus was doing, there were less surfers back then but there was still a "majority" it was wrong 30 years ago as it is now, brutus is the pot calling the kettle black. Ya reckon I'm a scrathed record, brutus has been bangin on about this for 6 months now, there's alot of hate in that man.

Shaun you seem to have forgotten to take your medication. Nice pattern you have formed on the page, your phychiatrist will be impressed.
How many ways do you need brutus Maximus to explain to you something that happened 20 odd years ago and which he regrets and most importantly has learnt from. History does that.
Perhaps a double dose of Lithium for your fragile mental state today.

Shaun,

Take a dose of lithium or watch Morning of the Earth. It was filmed in the 70's (same decade as MC's Backdoor article) and exposed a break, nay a whole island. It received a very different welcome then if a filmmaker tried the same thing in 2012. As MC has said repeatedly the times were different, you keep missing that point. Context is everything, especially historical context.

@abc I;m not angry at all mate and I don't hate anyone. I'm just pointing out to brutus the hypocrisy of his campaign of hate and abuse of fig jam, although they are 2 very different people they are very much alike and making the same mistake for the same reason"EGO" and not listening to the "majority" I'm just surprised a at the venomis tirade of abuse brutus has been directing figs way for the past 6 months, it's a bit over the top. I'm sure he would see it differently if it were Taj on one of his boards, probably ride shotgun for him on the jetski.

shaun,there is no hate toward FJROLLS,there actually is a feeling of sadness,that someone would purposly set out to burn and shit is his own back yard knowing that what he was doing would really piss off the majority of people that have surfed and surf down the coast.....we were actually good friends,and he has refused to talk to ne over the last 12 months or so,and got a temporary intervention order against me to try and stop me making any negtive comments about him on the internet.

I had to go to court and get it thrown out,as there was no threat to him anywhere from me or others.....I find it pretty gutless to stoop to such a low level,knowing that his case was non-existent,as there was no factual basis to his intervention order....so yeah was a bit angry

he was also pissed that he lost a potential sponsorship with Patagonia,and I think he would be now unsposorable as he has no support from his peers,and his reputation has taken a beating,because of his behaviour and his lust for fame and glory at any cost.

your claims about me are unfounded,as you have had to dig back 30+ years and now talk about TAJ which was 15 years ago....and what surf spots did I expose in WA...none to my knowledge?

I find your comment about me exposing FIG JAM Rolls constantly and whining....about him....ah not sure how bright you are but I am answering guys like yourself who are actually the culprits in keeping this whole issue alive,by constantly whinging about negative comments and the lack of repect I have for FJR......I don,t hate him or anyone,so take a good hard look at your self....hey and what was the spot was east of Peterborough?

I've watched closely and it's a disgrace and as a surfer it's embarrasing. No alter ego's here, just ego's.

Totally over this stuff. May as well just tune into Jerry Springer.

If this is what we surfers have become, then we're no different to a bunch of meat heads.

You don't see this level of crap on MSW or CW.
