I want to give The Electric Sunshine full credit for this gem of a bit, they have been known to have some killer goods and bits over at theelectricsunshine.blogspot.com

 

                  "Goon cords have brought on many more problems than they have solved.

Kooks now invade rocky waves, rip off the better surfers & locals, & suffer no damage...

Goon cords are a crutch, a mother, a blanket of security to make up for lack of ability...

I invested in a knife & now cut goons' cords off.

Maybe if enough cords are cut, challenge will become a part of surfing again."
