im sure youve all read it, but for those of you who havent, its an incredible article.

dave parmenter knows his sheet.

“dave parmenter knows his sheet.” Sometimes.

On one hand he disparages the hull yet wallows in the Ozzies ability to build boards that “feel”. That’s pretty much the whole point of riding a hull…the feel.

While Parmenter seem like he is smart, he also occurs to me(in his writing) as a smart ass. One of those guys who never go humbled in the course of life.

I don’t know what he would have to say about the hull paipo that I saw him with at Makaha a couple weeks ago!

I’m guessing Dave’s experience with Rell was pretty humbling…I’ll bet he never gave a hull long enough to find the magic. Gave up, filled out the rail and put an edge on it and called a Vector whatever. Maybe he’s in love with the crispy feeling of flats and edges. It just seems odd that he would single out hulls for a spanking. Maybe KP snaked him one too many times!

His writing style is windy and pretentious,like Dennis Leary.Hard to get past all that.

It’s unreadable.

I want those three minutes of my life back.

Parmenter, you f**king own me.

i enjoyed reading it. i definitely didn’t agree with many things he had to say but i appreciated hearing his point of view & i think he has a good handle on wordcraft.
