Know something?

Do you have the ground-breaking wave construction idea? Can you describe how to fix dings or dongs? Did you successfully repair a snapped or heavily damaged surfboard? Know some tricks? Tell us!

I am stoked to see the sport growing.
My partner Seal (Yes; that’s his name), and I regularly made the local news and sports rags surfing Lunch Counter on the Snake River back in the late 80′s and early 90′s. It was sweet, because you could car camp in a hidden little spot where the parking lot is now. I took the attached picture on the day of the TV commercial shoot when Toyota Corporation filmed friends Mike and Tony river surfing the Lunch Counter. I believe it was in 1992, and it was a big deal at the time when the commercial first aired during the Baseball World Series that year.

  This photo is so stunning — it really shows that river surfing is nothing new and that people have long been surfing waves in river … it’s so stoking, that Toyota had a commercial including river surfing back in the 90s. Would be super fun to see the commercial today! Thanks for the photo Don — this is killing it :) Would love to see more of the history of river surfing from your end … let’s stay in touch!

  What a dipshit
  Show respect
  Your not even worthy of being called a Kanaka
  
  And the reply was to your dickhead friend Seal.
  
  Respect Gets Respect
  
  PS- I’m easy to find. Phone # Address
  All is right online
  And when I come to the North Shore to visit my Ohana you can sit down with me face to face and choose speak with respect or take action without respect
  
  But either way you will see and grasp very quickly why I have friends of all creeds, colors, religions, sexual orientations, etc…all over the world. And my peers are legit men and women of character, which it appears from your online persona are not.
  
  Now go back to seeking affirmation for your “outlaw” early boardsports bullshit.
  
  You know when you think your kinda raw and connected and you try to check someone but realize all the heaviest dudes you know respect the dude your trying check way more than they respect you? Sure you do. This is one of those times.
  
  Now get your shit togther. DM me with your respectful apology and we can move forward in a positive light.
  
  Aloha

    Always the undertones of violence. I’m not going to meet with you, and I’m not going to fight you, Eli. I’m in my mid-60s, a beloved pillar of my community, and I have osteoporosis. We live in a country of laws, and the judge would note all that. In Hawaii if you assault the elderly, they double the sentence and no parole. No more Barber Shop or child visitation. Stay away from me and my family.

      Listen Dip Shit
      
      You & your hero Seal’s comments have been the centerpiece of comical banter at my barbershop the past few days.
      First off everyone….everyone comments on how absurd you two are with you pathetic whimpering cries for attention to be acknowledged for your self described heroic contributions to board sports, academics, serving the underserved, martial arts, yoga, and just all around being amazing leaders of the new world. And everyone has agreed that you both sound like entitled old white men who think everyone should bow down to your degrees & black belts. Not a single person at my shop my gives two shits about either of you. And the person who cares least is me. The one common question amongst everyone was “why do these guys want to bash your wave design or bash your spiritual path?”
      And the only thing we can figure out is that you guys just suck as human beings.
      
      Now it is clear you are delusional. Violence? STFU. You keep claiming Hawaiian culture. What makes me heavy is the aloha I share, here, there, everywhere. So when you think your so respected for all the white savior bullshit you rep, you will soon learn that you can’t tarnish or touch the good I do for the underserved. I just don’t run around telling everyone.
      You and your idiot buddy don’t like my wave design, you don’t like my yoga, you don’t like my anything. Ok.
      But don’t go from being a cocky victim to just a straight coward victim. No one cares about your bullshit whining self absorbed bullshit.
      The lesson here for you today, which is clear was never taught to you in school or maybe you just havnet wanted to accept it is this….dont be a dick. Live your life. Let others live their lives and if you want to judge others and then express that judgement its best that you instead you shut the fuck up. Now go be the white hero you beleive you are and leave us real kupana to our work.
      
      Aloha

        I might really suck as human being, except that I spent the last 35 years as a special education teacher and home visitor. I’ve taught all grade levels. Most of it I was eyeball-to-eyeball with preschoolers, toddlers, and infants with all levels of disabilities and mental challenges. It’s one reason I’m so passionately anti-violence.

        Where is the violence dumb ass? And the intro for the article is by a 35yr veteran science teacher from Monterey CA who is SUPER beloved by his community, he is in his 60s and a old hippie surfer who I imagine has never been in a fight. Just admit it and stop posturing. Your hero Seal was out of line. His bullshit comment was judgmental and attention seeking. And then yours was even worse. Who gives a fuck if I get an erection in yoga? Its only a #metoo issue if I was pushing it on someone. I spoke against violence in both my articles! And sex is bad now? Or just don’t like my terminology in my reply? Go re-read both articles who arrogant self righteous attention seeking dickhead. The articles were about waves and a spiritual path of love. You and your dickhead friend shit on it. What is the issue with chakras and concrete dams? Truly answer that. Especially when im trying help fix the dam system. You guys are dicks. Its easy to see. And yea dumb ass I’m not threatening you but I 100% challenge you to a debate on a video podcast. But you won’t cuz you know you’re wrong and both you and Seal will look like fools. You will be exposed for the judgmental dickheads you are. Listen up asswipe, I read your comments to multiple clients and I sent them to multiple people, everyone said the same thing..”what are those dudes problems?”
        This issue on this thread isn’t about who many kids you have taught, it’s about you and your stupid friend being negative dickheads cuz for some reason my writing style and my mixing of yoga and dams offends you. The “sweaty chicks” wasn’t in the article…that came in the response to your asshole friends comment. Go find something negative in my article. What? You can’t? I know.
        You are the emperor with no clothes and your horse hates you.
        
        Start at the beginning.
        
        Seal didn’t like chakras and dams combined????
        
        WTF?!
        
        You guys are sad petty human beings
        
        Grown up and own your bullshit.
        
        You don’t even have to make a public apology for being immature and petty…i doubt you can muster that courage.
        
        Anytime you want to DM me with you humble apology feel free.
        
        And even better im happy to do a podcast debate anytime about why dams and yoga mix and why your stupid ass and your hero are the violent ones….just passive aggressive online puedo intellectual violence.
        
        Have the debate. If your so secure in your view then have the debate.
        
        If youre a true teacher than have the debate.
        
        What are scared I’m gonna say mean things? Or not speak to you the way you want people to speak to you.
        
        You teach little kids cuz they can challenge you.
        
        Scared of a debate?
        
        Coward. No better than these teenagers who troll the internet hiding behind a keyboard.
        
        But since I know you won’t be mature enough to have a debate….you will say that you have better things to do….than just SHUT THE FUCK UP!
        
        No aloha for you Don P! I mean fuckin Donkey!

I would rather post to your site than dilute and dissipate posts across the many available communities you link to (You have a broader global reach). It is not clear where to do this better than on the “Know Something” tab.

Webmasters, can you help?
