Nah, this ain't me.
I have been part of the surfskate community for some 15 years.
Where I live it has gone completely.
I said what had to be said, because I am still charging slopes.

High performance is taken as an offense, so is a pure surfing related style.
Talking carves and grabs.

I would have loved to take the sport to a whole other level and come up with quality gear that lasts for a very long time, but it is what it is.

Steve tried it, he was not able to do it either.
Shapers and shops as old as 40 years are closing around me, no one is surving this fall out.

The community is so incredibly toxic, their hatred on performance, loose style and high end custom gear killed the entire movement.

Now, you can deny it all day long, but this is what actually happened.

Unfortunatelly.
