    Rob is a legend trunking it out there. That must really make you feel alive as well as helping to get accustomed to the cold

      @liberateyourslack 2 года назад +1

      Part-time legend. A full legend wouldn't have skipped the event - after shooting his own theatrical pre-game intro as a featured rider - to try and get better waves elsewhere. Just wouldn't do it.
      The rest of the time though, Rob Kelly is a legend.

    Ben Gravy, thank you for all your hard work, you and your Team! All that beach replenishment has almost covered that Longport Jetty with sand. There is going to continue to be more storm surge during storms with the continued scam of beach replenishment. Sand is structure. It’s no difference if you put sand in a full glass of water, the water in the glass is going to over flow!
