Jesus was a Surfer. by graemestevens

Jesus was a Surfer.

It is a little known fact in modern times that Jesus was a keen surfer and beach bum and, along with his apostles, the twelve hipsters, would often rock up at the local beach in his convertible chariot to catch a break or two. In fact, the church has recently uncovered a hitherto unknown passage from the scriptures which reads:
An Lo! The lord did see the surf and deem it to be bitchin' and did catch the first nug, announcing to all that it was gnarly and to behold his rooster tail.

In other news, don't you just love it when you're out with your camera and have the sudden realisation that your battery is on the verge of dying like a dying thing about to die and your spare is at home. I may have stamped my foot.
That's one hell of a badass shot!

@graemestevens s'alright! Good timing is all :)
February 13th, 2015  
@lifepause I've been accused of many things but good timing is not one of them.
February 13th, 2015  
Love the shot! Fav :)

'Splains a lot... Really... And definitely an awesome shot... At least the battery let you get one!
February 14th, 2015  
Excellent action! I love the spray of water.
February 14th, 2015  
@nanderson Thanks very much indeed :)
@kwind Thank you kindly - it was excessively windy today
@northy It does indeed...and thanks. I did have strong words with said battery
February 14th, 2015  
Oh noice! yip hate it when that happens.. foot stamping can be very therapeutic
February 14th, 2015  
That will be this summer in Bali!
February 14th, 2015  
@brigette Thanks...not very therapeutic when standing on soft sand but it helped a little
@darylo Lucky you!
February 14th, 2015  
awesome shot!
February 14th, 2015  
Cooool, should be more surfing and less fighting in the world :))
February 14th, 2015  
@dianachaplin Thank you kindly :)
@hermann Absolutely.
February 14th, 2015  
Superb!
February 14th, 2015  
Love this shot
February 14th, 2015  
Great action shot I like the composition of the surfer in the left
February 14th, 2015  
What's this thing you call a spare?
February 14th, 2015  
Great shot and I'm loving that bible quote. From the Book of Dudes?
February 14th, 2015  
Sam
who is Jesus?
February 14th, 2015  
@deliad Thank you kindly :)
@colleenbrown88 Thank you very much indeed
@craazyal Thanks very much, he just happened to be there
@newbank Given that I keep forgetting it, I have no idea either
@rachelwithey That sound legit to me...
@gigiflower Some fictional sky fairy I think...
February 14th, 2015  
this is very cool - but the words are cooler even - or even cooler - whichever way your brain interprets - mine does both
@gigiflower don't you pretend anything about Jesus when you quote we wll get into trouble from him all the time - phhttttt - pretender you are hahahaha
February 14th, 2015  
@graemestevens in othe -r news I drove all the way to the zoo and realised I didn't get my battery from the charger - drove home to get it - it was a good excuse to waste time before the zoo opened and play my music and groove on - it was about an 8o minute round trip - I was afraid it would be the day when something cool happened and I would miss it - can't remember if it was - know you don't really care about all this but I started typing and couldn't stop - is that keyboard diarrhea? Oh shit hahahahahahahahahaha

Sam
@annied @graemestevens You have an impeccable memory Ms Annie however it is flawed. I have only every mentioned "Baby Jesus". Is Jesus the father of Baby Jesus?
February 14th, 2015  
Fabulous action shot Graeme.
February 14th, 2015  
@annied You are a twat, but of course I care - so pleased to know that I'm not the only one that makes momentous cock ups...oh, and thank you nice lady type person :)
February 14th, 2015  
@tonygig Thank you very much :)
@gigiflower @annied If you two are going to have a theological debate please take it elsewhere. My page is likely to go up in flames if it gets too serious.
February 14th, 2015  
Sam
@graemestevens @annied Don't cry Mr Stevens
February 14th, 2015  
@graemestevens :) I am a twat - and proud hahahaha
@gigiflower baby not baby - still Jesus - and Graeme I am elsewhere - typed this from the kitchen
February 14th, 2015  
@gigiflower I never cry. Ever.
@annied Yes you are, and you should be proud. It's very fetching you know.
@annied @gigiflower I believe that Jesus was a Mexican immigrant who got work in a fish processing plant before being fired for drinking wine on the job and was subsequently deported for being an illegal alien. Phil Collins later wrote a song of the same name and performed it with Genesis and should have been deported for that too.
February 14th, 2015  
Sam
@graemestevens You should cry. It would make you more manly!

@graemestevens @annied HAHAHA I so hated that song. Early eighties. So very wrong.
February 14th, 2015  
@gigiflower I loved the 80's - not necessarily that song
@graemestevens I don't feel fetching - maybe soon I will - but I am glad being a twat is acceptable here - and don't listen to Miss Sam - you are man enough without crying - the corset helps of course
February 14th, 2015  
Sam
@annied @graemestevens Yes......."the corset helps" :) I rest my case.
February 14th, 2015  
@gigiflower hahahahaha helps what exactly LOL are you saying a corset is not manly
February 14th, 2015  
Sam
@annied If only he did something about those "things" that I'm not allowed to mention.........then he would look so much more manly with the corset!
February 14th, 2015  
@gigiflower HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
February 14th, 2015  
But surely Jesus could have helped. Performing the miracle of raising the dead battery back to life should be easy for him.

I quite often catch the Big J on Fistral beach in Newquay as it happens. :)
February 14th, 2015  
hello dude - please help me understnd how you mean jesus was surfer. this is not because he live on galilee sea which not have the waves - no?
February 14th, 2015  
Awesome capture
February 14th, 2015  
Pray for the battery!
February 14th, 2015  
@ceilidh It was in serious trouble...
@andy3168 Thank you very much :)
@photomike No...it was just a joke as this surfer looked like I imagine Jesus would, with his beard and long hair.
@swillinbillyflynn I think he was a bit preoccupied with hi surfing to be performing minor miracles. Or he's not real. One of the two ;)
@gigiflower @annied I can do lots of things with those "things" you're not allowed to mention. As for my LEGS, you know that you secretly want to run your fingers through their lush verdantly....do some plaits...
February 14th, 2015  
OMG :-)
February 14th, 2015  
@overalvandaan Snigger...I see what you did there ;)
February 14th, 2015  
Glad to see your battery lasted long enough to get this shot.
February 15th, 2015  
@golftragic Just - loads of lag and shocking focus!
February 15th, 2015  
You got the action!
February 15th, 2015  
@yaorenliu Thanks very much - and it only took 15 shots thanks to the battery failing
February 15th, 2015  
Great action shot.
February 15th, 2015  
@dh Thanks very much
February 15th, 2015  
Awesome bottom turn. I didn't know that about Jesus. At least if he fell off his board he could just walk over to it me pick it up. I do imagine that walking out to the back of the lineup would be easier than paddling and duck diving under waves.
Oh and that flat battery thing has happened to me too. But I didn't stomp my feet. I held my breath.
February 15th, 2015  
@karlow75 It isn't very well known, but you're right...I do actually have a shot of one of the apostles walking on water (and not very well) which I may post later...
February 15th, 2015  
Fantastic action shot and absolutely hilarious caption. Has to be a fav :-P
February 16th, 2015  
@leanne333 Thank you very much :)
February 16th, 2015  
Fantastic action you have caught there what with the spray and all ... no idea if his action is any good, mind you. maybe if he drowned immediately after this shot he might have become a cult leader too and you might have written the first book of the apostates ... something not right there but I'm not sure what! I'll fav it in case it comes to anything! Fav!
February 16th, 2015  
@yrhenwr Thanks - I was having no end of trouble with the battery and focus so that'll be the issue...as for the book, already underway ;)
February 16th, 2015  
Lee
This is a cracking action shot.
February 16th, 2015  
Was his rooster tail of biblical proportions? Super freeze action shot, and great quote from the surfer's bible. http://thebeachsideresident.com/2012/05/passages-from-the-surfers-bible-dan-reite/
February 17th, 2015  
@bill_fe I'm a bit rusty on real bible speak...loving the surfers bible though
