FUNNIEST SURFING MEMORY?
About 12 years ago my two brothers (Alex and Nick) and I were surfing Berg on a very small clean onshore day, with it breaking pretty close to the beach. My bros decided to dare me to aqua turd, wetsuit and all! Being a grom, I took the dare and made them proud. After this raw incident the poop came to haunt me down the line during the session. I was the talk of the town for many years to come! Haha!
