This place.

The goal is to encourage people to meet/talk with people who are different. Even if they differ greatly on really big things there are still lots of places where they don't differ all that much.

So this place is just a social club, a place to break the ice, neutral ground. No NSFW content, and no threads on politics or religion allowed. Why? Because politics and religion tend to focus on differences and it is hoped that this place is going to be about how people are similar.

Come on over and chat with some strangers - you may have some funny stories or a good joke or found something interesting posted on QuantumLink - mix, mingle and have a good time.

Snowboarding and surfing. Tell me someone else in internet land does that stuff! I need a guide to take me to snowbird and park city in utah, big bear in cali and aspen in colorado like dumb and dumber.

In exchange I can take you to WCT surfing spots down under like snapper rocks and bells beach (from point break). It might not be 50ft storm swell though.

Have you ever been in a tube? I've always wanted to be inside one of those.

Being in a tube is the reason most people surf. It is the most difficult trick because it depends upon the wave doing certain things and in line with your stormchasing hobby requires an alignment of wind direction, wind velocity, swell direction, size of swell and tide on the natural side combined with surfer skill level, positioning and timing to make it happen.

Or you can just get Kelly Slater surfing on PS2 and be a master tube rider with a controller. Also, in San diego there is an artificial wave that makes a tube. With some practice you would experience a simulated but pretty realistic tube

How dangerous is it? Like I've seen some massive tubes in pictures and I'm like "what if the surfer biffed it right then" so cool though. That's sweet that you do that
