I'm writing in to put an end to all
this surfer bashing. Surfing is far
from being a pussy sport. Just
because a surfer slams on water
doesn't mean it's
painless. Ask any-
one who's had a
decent size wave
crash on them.
And what about
the undertow?
Have you ever had
your entire body
dragged across
rocks, shells and
sand? Surf fins
have been known
to cause serious
gashes. I've even
seen guys lose
their fingers. Last
time I went surf-
ing, I almost died
when the under-
tow dragged me
under the water. I
came back up only
had been dedicated to
informing me that if I lacked
style, then skateboarding was no
longer an option. What's next, no
skating for girls, minorities no longer
allowed to skate, age limits, dress
codes? if you guys are lucky, a mob
of ugly skaters will go to Frisco and
beat the ugly truth into you.

to have the very next wave send my
board flying at my head, then I got
dragged under again and lost con-
sciousness. Luckily a lifeguard pulled
me out in time. Besides, would any
of you guys call Danny Way or Tony
Hawk pussies? They surf too.

DEATH ROW
I just want to say
that I really dig your
magazine. I used to
be an amateur skater
for a team in Missouri
back in 1982. Then
the park got closed
because of insurance
problems. The maga-
zine brings back a lot
of good old memo-
ries, except that the
tricks have changed
dramatically. Now I'm
on Death Row for a
fucked-up crime that
I shouldn't be here
for. I took a break
from Death Row not long ago, but
didn't get a chance to pick up a
board. I went to Kentucky of all
places and got my ass busted
because I was thinking with my
pecker. I made history though, first
Death Row inmate to escape in
modern history. Well, keep up the
good work with the magazine and
pray for me. If I can't skate anymore,
at least every once in a while, I can
sit around and daydream about hit-
ting that zero gravity again.
