I like the quote
"I feel like if I don't (act as its president), the Association might die, and I don't want that to happen. "

As apposed to what klang wrote the other day on this forum

låt SSA gå i graven

what the fuck has happened with all this shit!!!

// Lee

My favourite is "Klang spearheads the aforementioned yearly contest, various expression sessions, surf movie nights, two Web sites ( www.surfblask.nu and www.kallsupen.com )..."

He he he, but I know that's the work of Mike Kew, not Klangen.
I miss the good ol days when the hair was soft and long and the beach was a place to go!

Good point Lee.!!!

I'm not mixed up in the politics and the organization but I reckon it's really sad that SSA has so much conflict...Shouldn't it be fun to be involved..!!

Isn't that what it all about..........................SAD....

But Klangen also sums it up, better than anyone, what it's like to be a surfer in Sweden:

"I can't really explain the feeling of surfing in Sweden for the first time. It was so exotic. I grew up here, and I never thought I ever would be able to surf in this country. To find something in your own backyard that you thought you had to travel across the world for, wellit was mind-blowing."

True! Väl sagt klangen!

Men det är väl som med allt annat. Tiden går och antingen utvecklas man som människa eller så står man kvar o stampar i frustration...

ssa har inte utvecklats, det har av-vecklats tyvärr. jag kommer ihåg mina första steg på stenstrand -97 då hela ssa ligan var ute och rev upp. mungiporna möttes i nacken, göran stog och drog eddie historier och redax stog och ljög inpå moronkvisten. those were the days. skillnaden är att på den tiden så var ssa verkligen var ute och surfade. muförtiden så ere uteslutande henio som fortfarande surfar av hela det gamla gardet. ut i vattnet med er boys, ni är saknade därute! vem vet, ni kanske kan surfa bort en del av den där frustrationen ni delar med er av här på forumet.

word to the wise K-MANNEN!!!

was out and surfed last Sunday, just 4 guys out, 3 of us happened to be Australian, 1 of the aussies said to me "Where is everyone else?" I just answered "Surfing the Net!"

Like me right now.hahahahahaha. utan att jag ha en ursäkt..det är fortfarande is på bottenhavet för oss...Sånt är livet...

and I'm too much of a pussie to surf in the cooooooooold waters of Sweden ...... My BIC is ready though ...

jag som inte är så jävla insatt, var kommer det här med PUNGEN ifrån?

belive me - you don't want to know ......
