It looked like a massive tragedy for Team Shredder. Ali called to say she had to sell the Snoop deVille. She needed the money and her 6 jobs just weren't cutting it. Much to our chagrin she'd replaced surfing with playing grand theft auto and riding her new ducatti. The Team has never recovered. But in her Uber-generosity she lent us the Snoop indeffinitely. Over time Wocks determined that she wasn't feeling the Snoop, so we switched out, and our current winning setup has been her on the Snow Pony and me on the Snoop. And we've gotten quite complacent in this arrangement. Our only other choice would be the 8'0" Tired Guppy, otherwise known as the Mustang Megalodon, or the 'Tang, if you will, and which our Satelite Correspondant Miss Kara refers to as the Kim Novak. Yes, we COULD ride the 'Tang, but who wants to any more? It was my beloved first board that I "learned" on, and The Doctor too had many "interesting" early experiences on it, but let's face it.....we're longboarders! We can't live if living is without the glide.
Dr. Wocks has fallen in lust with the Snow Pony and is truly blossoming on it, and after pearling about 800,000 times, I've grown to really love the Snoop. If you get your shit together and find that pocket on a steep yet friendly wave it lets you go really fast, and then you get a mad ride. What's so wrong about that, G?
Thus you can imagine our horror at the thought of Ali sadly taking the Snoop down to the sad surf shop, where some undeserving yet utterly entitled choad would snatch it from our lives forever. NO!
Team Shredder has officially added the Snoop deVille to it's permanent collection, with the proviso that Ali can ride it any time she wants.
