As long as I can remember, in my surfing life, 45 years this year, surfers have talked crap.
Longboarders in particular talk the most crap. That may be because they are a bit older, my case, or because they are generally a relaxed, easy going bunch of people.
I even remember have a facefull of real crap as initiation when I was a grom.
So Mac, I think talking crap is a part of Longboarding and a most enjoyable part. I would maybe say that if you are after a split then perhaps have what the 666 forum has and that is a separate page for board talk and product reviews.
Otherwise bring on the crap!
