<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Anybody?</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Anybody.</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Who  rips.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Who  rips? What does  &amp; quot;rips &amp; quot; mean?</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Ripping  means if you are like a surfer, if you say he rips, he is really good.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Oh,  OK. He rips! Wow, so just for surfing?</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>And  windsurfing, too.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>He  rips. Skateboarding?</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Yeah.  Skateboarding too.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Skateboarding,  he rips.</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Yeah,  it means he can make some great moves.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Great  turns, great flips. OK, who rips?</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Just  go to the beach and you see it. Like, you don't even have to talk. You just  have to see it and if you rip then you get respect<strong> </strong>and if you talk.. if you have a chance to talk to the guy,  it's almost always that he is a nice guy.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Really?</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Well,  99 percent.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>So  guys who rip are nice guys.</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Nice  guys. Like nice, meaning..it's nothing like talking to a salary man.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Wow, so very easy-going<strong>, </strong>very friendly, not serious.</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Yes.  Like open.. no attitude, it's like a way to elaborate.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>OK,  so do you rip?</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>No.  I'm in progress. I'm trying. It's hard. It's hard to rip though.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>But  you said earlier that you are very good windsurfing so you are closest to  ripping at windsurfing.</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Man,  In my dreams but in reality I'm.. no, I'm trying.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Maybe  you're being modest. So a modest person doesn't say he rips or he is good</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>You  got the point. No I was just kidding,  I can't rip.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>OK,  who is the best surfer in the world?</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Robbie  Naish.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Robbie  Naish. What country does he come from?</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Hawaii.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Oh,  so he's hawaiian. He's American.</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Yeah,  fom Oahu.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>From  Oahu, so he surfs on waves. How big are the waves that Robbie Naish surfs on?</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>OK  like Jaws, there is a specific point in Maui, Hawaii Maui, and it's called Jaws  cause people say that there are a lot of sharks at the point but anyway, at  Jaws 25 meters or 30 meters in winter.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Man,  that's high. 25 to 30 meters. That's what? Three stories? Maybe!</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>That's  like from here to the basement.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Wow!  And were on the second floor so that's three stories.</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Oh,  right.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Man,  that's high. That's really high. What's the highest wave you've ever surfed on?  So you're standing up here. The ceiling?</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Yeah!  Probably the ceiling.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>So  that's what, maybe 10 feet.</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>I  don't know the feet stuff.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>So  that would be, 3, 4 meters.</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Yeah,  3, 4 meters probably.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Wow,  that's still pretty high.</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Yeah,  if you are in the ocean you are like lying down right, so it's quite high  actually, yeah, if you're standing up it doesn't seem that high but..</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>But  when you're on the ground, you're right, when you're lying flat on your  stomach, you're right it would seem very high. So Robbie Naish, does he make a  lot of money surfing?</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Yep.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>He's a rich man.</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>He's a billionaire.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Wow, has he ever come to Japan?</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Many times.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Really?</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>Yep.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Wow.</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>For promotion.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>For promotion.</p>
<p><strong>Roe: </strong>He owns a boarding, sailing and what have you. He  owns a lot of companies. Yeah, he's smart too. Nice guy.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Nice guy because he rips. </p></div>]]>
