Hey Anonymous from Sept !
Yeah, I hear you man, you got this place down pretty good, I have been surfing here for number of years and know a lot of locals....the things you said about that kook Bjorn Ibsen are very scary accurate....I've seen him and some of his friends in action, I actually USED to be friends with him, but his massive ego and self righteousness ran over that friendship. Can you believe someone would write, "I hope I don't run into any of you maggots" or " I can't wait to fade some random fool who thinks he's me?" What the hell is that ? Word on the beach is that his bottom turn fell apart when his girlfriend told him to "screw " and he lost his marbles shortly after , and has caused hell on every girl that ever dumped his ass!! ...real tough guy , huh ? Sounds like one bong hit too many... and a sucking on that bong day in and out has caught up with this dude and now whose the " random fool"? Get a life Ibsen !

Nice Surf.......folks a bit kooked out!
I enjoyed the nature and the character of Carmel, but I didn't enjoy the brotherhood I recieved there...For surf folk who profess to be so open minded and welcoming, there was a very diferent vibe here, ironically enough after reading BJORN IBSENS' little writing a few columns down and his monologue on how surfing is interpreted by him there, I can see very clearly that if what he writes represents the bulk of the surfing atitude there than , name calling, belittlement, personal importance , ego clinging ,self centered importance ,self righteousness, are right at the center of that UGLY writing of his about 1 year ago, and for him to think that he represent his other brothers with that talk is the pinnacle of arrogance..thanks for listening !
