The Gay Surf Report

East Coast Love
To GSR, my name is Mike and i am a fifteen your old guy from long island new york. Im an east coast kid and i live right on the water. Im really into kite surfing considering theres no waves on the L.I. sound. I discovered your website a few months ago and it changed my life. Ive been in denial about being gay for a really long time but seeing how everyone who is gay is not a pansy makes me feel a lot more comfortable with who i am. I used to think gay guys were pussy's into stupid boring things. Im a guy who likes to get out and get dirty. I longboard kiteboard mountain bike, hike you name it ill do it. Plus seeing all the pictures of the hot guys really sets me off i cant contain myself. It feels good to let my feelings out, the ones in which i have been keeping in for so long. And its nice to look at all the hot guys in my school but seeing all the pics on your site i feel more open. Also the stories about gay guys and the things they've been through are awesome to read. My favorite one is the ying yang twins. I've never told anyone how i feel on the inside so it gets really tough hiding it and this site is great for me. I really want to tell everyone about myself but i'm just not ready yet and i don't think its that big of a deal, i mean at least i'm being honest to myself. But i want to see more on your site its been a little stagnant lately and i'm excited for some new hot pictures of those cut guys. Please reply id love to hear your advice on being confident with being a gay guy and how to express myself and figure out who else is gay because i really want someone to hook up with but it seems there's no one out there (except for theatre guys but there practically girls). Thanks for your time.

also about the term gay i really hate referring to myself as that, i feel it characterizes someone who is all flimsy, i consider myself a straight dude who likes guys. It makes me feel more like a man and it feels better to say.

Mike

...and this is exactly the reason that The Gay Surf Report exists, thanks Mike. -jackson

Lookin' For Teen Love
Hey, I love your site. I'm so glad I found it. I have a question though, do you know anywhere where I can find naked boys of my own age, (15-17years old range). I really want to see boys my age naked and kissing and stuff. Thanks

thx for the props brah. not really sure how to answer your question. we're in the U.S. so 18 is the legal age for showing guys naked. if you live in another country the laws are different though so you might check google for your country's age limit. (england is 16 i think). if you're in that teen age group and want to meet guys your own age, you might try working out at a gym or surfing if you live on the coast. it will take some time but eventually you'll find guys with interests like yours and who knows, you might actually fall in love. and isn't love what it's all about anyway? peace -jackson

I'm Not Gay Either
I was surfing (ha.... puns) on the Web and came across your "I'm not gay" article. I read through it and honestly loved it. It made many great points and really "fit the bill" for pretty much every gay guy I know. I especially like the section about GLADD and HRC not really helping change much. Well, I looked around and was trying to find the writer's name. I probably just missed the proverbial "elephant in the room" but could you send me the author's name? I don't really plan on redistributing it or anything like that. But I would like to show it too some friends and I'm big on attributing work to people. I'm an aspiring journalist. Thanks in advance,

Eric L.

You're right, what could you possibly have in common with an angry lesbian that hates anything with a penis? -jackson

Having A Difficult Time
Hey there GSR i've recently turned 16 and have recently came out...some of my friends are cool with it more than others but some have almost stopped talking to me...can't really blame them though i'm just about the only gay in our school. thanks for the site it help to hear what other people have to say. cheers.

Hutchie

I know it seems like things are rough right now but eventually you'll gravitate to some new real friends that love you for who you are. Patience my friend. -jackson

I Got A Lot To Say
Hi Jackson, My name is Amir I live in Dallas Texas. I was just surfing the web today and i came across your website. It really touched my heart how you care so much about people. Like so many of the stories on your website I am also gay. I don't think I've ever had a harder time with anything in my life. I figured it out in kindergarten. But I was so young then i didn't understand anything, it wasn't tell maybe middle school or even elementary school when i noticed that i was checking guys out in the locker room and the bathroom. I still didn't know that that meant i was gay or that i was gay or anything. I've never been the popular one at school i have always been teased and made fun of and called gay and queer, homo, all kinds of names I'm sure you know all the one I'm talking about. I didn't understand any of it it wasn't tell i got older that i realized what gay meant and that i understood that i was attracted to boys. I don't know why it took me so long but it did. I don't know it was so confusing i didn't really still know that i was gay. But then it went from now knowing to kind of thinking i was and i when i started kind of thinking i was, of course i tried to hide it. I just thought it was just a faze and it will pass. And when that didn't work i just tried ignoring it and hiding from and denying, pretending that it isn't apart of me. I thought if i wasn't gay that the kids might like more. I didn't want to be gay because all the kids told me that if i was gay that God would hate me. I didn't want to be gay i wanted to be normal, i wanted to be like everyone else. I didn't understand why i had to be so different, i thought that god just didn't like me or something. This is hard to explain because it was so confusing i tried pretending that I'm wrong, that i wasn't gay. I tried just ignoring it like i said and just trying to change. I tried being someone I'm not just to see if i could get at least one kid. Chris, I would lay in bed and cry myself to sleep because i had no friends and from the way the kids would treat me. I spent year of that i grew up in Plano Texas. Then I moved to Frisco last year i got held back one year but all be graduating this year. I'm so glad i moved to Frisco, All of the kids at my school are so accepting of me. But its so hard to still come out. I still don't think actually i know i still haven't completely 100 percent admitted it, to myself. What's even harder is coming out to my family see my mom has picked up on all this and has asked me i don't know how many times if i was gay. I have always said know you know she always said i don't care all still love you. But then she backs it up with but all have a hard time accepting it whets love with out acceptance. I feel like I'm so alone, I mean i have some friends but none of them are gay and i have no one who can understand any of this. I have now won to open up to or just someone to hang out with or just talk to. I've been so deeply depressed over this every since i was little I've tried therapy and anti depressant pills. Its just so hard to go through all this alone anymore. as I get older its get more and more lonelier. There was this one kid at my school his name is Brian he graduated last year. I met him through myspace not knowing that he went to my school, since my school is so huge. We kind of started hanging out and i kind of picked up on hat maybe we might be ay. But then aging i didn't know if maybe i was so lonely that I wanted him to be gay. But then he invited me to a gay club he said that he was graduating, and invited me to get a town home with hi. I told him that i was working at the time and he's like " oh that okay all pay for everything" He said that we could share a bedroom" expect. He's really a very nice guy, and this whole time i thought he's not gay he's not gay I'm just thinking too much of this. then he'd ask me out to dinner or something. Id ask him hey Brian are you gay. And he would get to offended buy it. But were still friends today its just hard i still think he's gay i never moved in with him. He's kinds backed out of moving away from homer after all. But, part of me wants him to be gay because he's so sweet and kind and good looking, and caring and nice and friendly. What i want him to come out at least so maybe we can date or he can at least be honest with himself. I just have a lot that I'm going through and have no one to talk to I'm sorry for slamming all this on you.

Phew! -jackson

In Love With Love
Hey GSR we love your site especially the article on the gay jocks. We also met while on our school's team and have been together since our freshmen year. Our coach and team are totally supportive (well except for one player's parent that's an ass) and it helps that we both excel in the sport we love. Hmmm, I wonder if the guys would be as supportive if we sucked, nahhhh, they'd still love us... 'cause we're loveable!

Tommy and Nate, Spokane WA

We agree you're both adorable but we don't ever remember what part of a swim meet requires swimmers to hold each others hand. Good for you though! -jackson

Hawaiian Punch
Dude. All I can say is finally. I've been telling all my friends since I came out that there's other surf bros out there that aren't kooks and happen to be gay. I know 'cause I've met a few. When I lived in San Diego there was an entire beach for gay surfers (Blacks Beach, see entire article on gay surfing S.D. www.gaysurfreport.com/traveler) and some of the guys could really surf good. I've moved to Hawaii since but still come across some gay surfers out here as well. I can still out surf them all tho... Peace, James

Kimo (James), Lihue, HI

You probably out surf them all and we bet you definitely make 'em all drop dead with your looks too. Keep up with whatever you're doing right. -jackson

M.I.A ohhhh
LOL, Me and my bros are constantly checking out your site wondering when you're gonna write an article on us MIA surfers. We know you're just jealous that we can surf better then you west coast groms. Come on, invite us out to surf this summer or at least write a story about us. Yes, this is an official east coast vs west coast challenge.

Camden, Cocoa Beach, FL

Ok we promise to send tickets for you clowns to fly out here WHEN we start making some real money off this site. So yeah, this is a challenge back: find us a SPONSOR. -jackson

Louisiana Rain
gay boy Dudes this is the sickest site I've ever seen. The pics are da best but the articles are actually ones I read 'cause I'm down with the skater/surf culture and want all the information I can get. I'm sorta landlocked out here in LA but knowing I can log on to read some of the latest sh t from over Cali way makes me smile. T'anks mon.

Nathanial, New Orleans LA

Thanks man, btw nice molester van in the background of your pic bro. -jackson

Pennsylvania Dutch
gay boy Hey man thanks for the website. We don't have much of a surf culture out here in PA but there are some sk8er boys that sure are hot. I'm not sure if I really fit the kind of viewer you usually have 'cause it looks like you mostly got surfer dudes on this site but I wanted to say hey and tell you that I'm really into your website so keep up the good work and thanks if you put my letter and pic in, maybe I'll get one of those sk8er boys to IM me.

Anthony, Harrisburg PA

Hey Dutch, you might not fit the surfer profile but you definitely got it goin' on. -jackson

Feet First
gay boy Thanks GSR for your article on guys into socks. I always thought I was pretty much on my own thinking this way but it's good to know there are other guys like me and that I'm not so out there. Oh and I like the other articles on your site too but Snow Patrol? Come on now...

Xavier G, Skokie, IL

No love for Snow Patrol? But what about all the instruments and musicianship? Gotta love 'em for that, no? -jackson

Working 'It' Out
Hey man, thanks for the article on your site. I'm kinda alone thinking it feels better working out in my basement without tons of clothes on. I even like running on the treadmill with it flopping around. Is that a bad thing? (lol)

CM, Tacoma, WA

Nuffin's bad as long as you're into it and not hurting anyone bro. -jackson

Tropical Paradise
Dudes! Your article was so on. I live in Hawaii and after surfing out in the reefs with my bros I come back on board the boat that brought us out and the first thing I want to do is lounge around on the deck wearing nothing. I mean surfing nek'd is kinda wack but laying around the deck on the long ride home catching some zzzz's is best when you're feeling the hot sun on your... True dat.

CT, Kona, HI

Nice pic bro but what we want to know is what your other surf bros think... -jackson

Sp�lhaul Fun
Hello from Germany! My name is AJ and I love your website. I am a junior olympic gymnast living in Berlin, Germany and got your website from gayboysupport.nl and like all the stories and pictures. All my friends are big fans too, thanks for giving us a look at how California gay boys live and their style and fashion and way they talk. Skating is way big here in Berlin and I get most of my clothes online now using advertising from your website. Thanks again for a good place for gay boys like me to come to.

AJ, Berlin GERMANY

Actually AJ, Germany will be building an indoor surf spot in Frankfort soon so you can skate and surf. -jackson

Eastcoast Fan
Dear Jackson, Yo what's up? I'm writing to say thanks for the awesome website, GSR rocks, keep up the good work! I can't wait to log on every morning (well late morning considering you guys don't post until you get up 3 hours after we do!). The thing I like about your site is that you guys bring the point of surf culture so differently, surfing to me is a lifestyle and frame of mind, not just a sport oh and I like the pics of all the boys! I come from Pennsylvania, so we don't get exposed to much surf culture out here but it's nice to know that when I'm skating around I get all the coo surf news directly from my socal source. Keep it up!

Stefan Kharoufa, Mechanicsburg PA

thx man, good to know the midwest boys love us -jackson

Do I Care?
Boo! Panic in the Disco? Do I care? I admit I log on to your web site every day and enjoy the absurd humor and articles of the anti-hero gay surfer but it was better before tho when you covered only surf but then you went all international news on us. Who had the idea to add a bunch of dumb music articles and worse yet you think the final product humorous? Weak. You guys put as much thought into those music articles as congressman Foley did into texting those little gay boys for play. I live in Humboldt County, CA and am still a proud gay surfer so I enjoy reading the surf stuff tho. C'mon, at least try and change something so we focus on the surf/skate/board culture you talk about on your site. Please, how hard can you run from yourself. Jack asses.

Bitter Surfer, Humboldt County CA

awww, someone needs a hug... -jackson

Sweet 16
Dear GSR, I really like your website. I try as much as I could to log on but its kind of hard for me since I can't really log on at home when my parents are around. Today's my birthday I'm turning 16. I'm trying to get a job at Pharmacy Boardshop by my house. They only have straight guys working there. I need money to buy my shit. I don't get allowance so I need the job and that way I could be checking out the guys. I think guys with tight pants look so hot. Well peace out. Hope you like my letter.

Lucian, Fontana CA

16th birthday? shouldn't you be whoopin' it up with all your bros? -jackson
