Once again Stab presents a glorious curation of questionable keyboard murmours from your favourite discussion platform. We’ve waded through the masses of overwhelming beauty and brilliance harvested in the comments section of this dot com and selected our faves. Remarkable how similar genius and insanity are, right? Anyhow, here is week’s ripest fruit.

10. A Sequence You’ll Love: Just Another Day For John Florence

“Hello Stab: Since all Vissla clips are under protective custody from the comments section, I will use this to comment on the last story featuring their warm wetsuit:

Being a Florida fox, I don’t want to shit on the Eric or Evan. I like them and I was hoping that Evan would have made his heat yesterday. With that said…

1. You can’t use a Florida surfer in a wetsuit ad. It makes no logical sense.
 2. He’s wearing a winter wetsuit with the hood off and no gloves when he hits the lip. That is not a good example of cold water R&D, nor does it say much for the wetsuit. 
3. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Eric G surf anywhere colder than Central Florida.
 4. For people who surf in cold water, taped arms are not a flexibility benefit. You mention this and it is wrong. Go put a winter suit on with and without taped arms and then stop talking. 
5. The mill closed early this week, so I didn’t clock as many hours, so I’m a little pissy today. Soon I will be grinding out wood dildos again and you won’t see me bitching in the forum as much.” – Pam Hauser

06. Jordy Smith Just Won The Vans World Cup Of Surfing At Big, Clean Sunset Beach

“I started having a shot every time cote said “vans team rider” and don’t remember anything after round 4 heat 3. I must ran on auto pilot for while, cos I woke up to discover that Jordy had won, Jaddy was back on tour and I had shit myself. I cant decide which is worst.” – Phat-wan kerr
