Seen one of these in your lineup?

one time when we were surfing this guy paddles over to my son and asks how do you like the board? My son says  its a great board. iwas about 20 feet away the board Robert August what I ride. The Guy Robert  August.  My son didn't recognize him. I had to tell him  later.   pretty much one of those moments.

Most seem more appreciative of just being allowed to be one of the crowd.

In the 80's I lived in a small resort area where the code was to make celebs feel comfortable, no autographs, no fawning, no nothing. People really made it a point of pride to stay cool and not 'break protocol'. We were all *so* above that.

That was until Muhammad Ali showed up. Several nights in a row I watched him walk through a long hotel lobby on his way to a restaurant. Everyone, even the high and mighty hotel execs freaked out in hushed tones... omg, omg, omfg! I've never seen a person leave a wake electricity like that!

   Aspen in the 80's was like that,  Del Mar and Encinitas can be that way today.

My neighborhood is still like that. "No autographs, no fawning, no nothing"--perfect description of how I'm treated.

And speaking of Muhammad Ali, a bunch of my friends were talking about the most famous person they'd ever met.  Some were actually pretty impressive.  Then someone said, "I talked to Muhammed Ali" and everyone else just gave up.

Does being in a checkout line count as a "lineup"? 

One of my sister's friends was at a sporting goods store in line behind Bill Gates's sister.   When she got to the checker, she gave him her credit card, and he looked at it and said, "Gates--any relation to Bill?"  She said no.  He said, "I didn't think so.  If you were you'd wouldn't be buying such crappy skis."

Sam shook water all over Queen Latifah. He ignored Chris Noth who was trying to pet him because he was watching Diane eat lunch and knew she had bacon. But he's buddies with Chuck Patterson, Karen Wrenn, Connor Baxter, Zane Schweitzer, Slater Trout, and Dave Kalama. I guess if you want Sam's attention you need to be a SUP star or if you're a regular celebrity you need to have a pork chop in your hand.  


I would have been all over Lady Gaga and her meat dress

I witnessed PDX Mike and Pono Bill meet for the first time.

Good dog, Sam!  Will he ride with you?

You're being too modest.  It seems like there's always guys over at your shop whose names are on the gear you sell--Jimmy Lewis, the Burton snowboard Burton, and now the guys who make the Rocket Fuel and the PonoPaddles....

My dad in the late seventies did his gardening. My dad is a second generation Japanese Gardner. He said Ali was friendly and always came out to talk with him, my grandfather use to do the lawn also.

What were we all saying in that "safety" thread again?  Really... a British Actor who is not an expert surfer in the lineup at Mav's in December... really?

Love the hyperbole of the article too... nearly the EXACT same thing claimed the life of big wave surfer Sion Milosky... ummm... except that Sion was taking off behind the bowl... and charging... all day long... and the waves were about two times bigger, likely much more... other than that, the EXACT same thing...

As the late great Chick Hearn would have said... "Not Phi Beta Kappa..."

I can't remember who said it but it sure is true:  "The world's most dangerous substance is testosterone."

I thought the quote was "...most fun-loving substance...".

My girlfiend just noticed that Danica Patrick was trying out Standup paddleboarding.


I'm not sure who caused this expression but they had better be fast...
