Okay, well… So as soon as there was the first wave, right? - there was the first surfer. All they needed was, like, um, a piece of driftwood, a block of ice or something like that, and then they were off. And they were hooked, man. They were hooked. Up 'till recent times, you had your old dudes, you know, your hang-six cats, these old guys used to lay down with these huge, humongous boards. These guys were the pioneers.

Imagine… boys and girls sleeping on the beach side-by-side, unchaperoned. Now what kind of society is it that would allow such a thing?

When you yell at a dog, his tail will go between his legs and cover his genitals, his ears will go down- even if he hasn’t done anything wrong. A dog is very easy to break, but cats make you work for their affection. They don’t sell out the way dogs do.
