Core Score


An enlightening article found in this month's issue of Surfing Magazine has been at the heart of some recent family discussion and debate.

"Do you kill your own food? Or does your mom make you finish your vegetables? That's all we're asking. A Core Score is like a tattoo on your soul- you wear it for life. But unlike tattoos (which generally boost one's Core Score), your Core Score is adjusted with every decision you make. So, next time your girlfriend asks you to walk her poodle . . . well, we're not saying you can't but you're definitely gonna need to go surfing without a leash if you wanna stay level. Here are a few pointers to get you oriented."

Increase Your Core Score
beards
flannels
not having a cell phone
budweiser cans
no-look paddle outs
stitches
surfing alone
sleeping in your car
black coffee
sneaking in (anywhere)

Decrease Your Core Score
walking your girlfriend's dog
faux-hawks
changing in a towel robe
salads
fur-lined boots
slacks
blogging
tanning
puka shell necklaces
valentine's day

Little Paul wouldn't type this up for me because that fell under both "walking your girlfriend's dog" and "blogging".

How about the OLD surfers, who never thought of a leash or 'three' skags? How does that effect ones 'core score?'
