All the pictures show this slob "surfing" small waves. I'd like to see it paddle out to some 20ft (or larger) swells and fight gravity to stay on the wave until the water gets too shallow or the wave completely collapses. There is a reason that surfers have a "surfers body" that looks nothing like a fat slob. Edit: I read the article. It surfs at Waikiki. Try the North Shore, where the real waves are.
