9. The Brit
Only in the arena of surf are the British crushed by an overbearing inferiority complex. In all other human endeavours he is calmy proud of his nation’s status, but when it comes to surf he is punished by a wicked and unrelenting need to try and convince you that the waves ‘Do actually get really good at home’. ‘Get’ is the emphasized word, never will he say ‘are’. He is the only nationality of pro that will say ‘world class’ in the opening line of every article he ever writes for a mag about the trip he just went on to Scot/NE/anywhere other than Cornwall. He is trying to sell it to you so hard, and his ultimate tragedy and frustration is that the harder he sells, the less you buy. If he catches two Aussies exchanging a glance from their bunk beds while he says the ‘get really good part’ he will sulk for exactly five days.
