Torr, was instrumental in progressing the original wavejunkies from "seapoo's" to sport surf skis. Of course that makes him the leading authority on the natural progression of all tricks performed on any pwc in the surf (think turning sideways into a wave, riding with one foot in front of the other, etc). So here's to Torr... for bringing some surf style to the junkies big-air straight-at-it world.  As Air Gramps says, "Torr has a total commitment to expand the junkie experience." Torr has an uncanny ability to drive others through everything he says he can do himself, and EVENTUALLY does as Gramps and zimmy put it. He also seems to be the least intimidating wavejunkies recruiter. If it weren't for this wacko backing his ski up to the Pungo beach and blasting wet sand and carbon monoxide into the parking lot for 10 minutes, I never would have gone up to him to ask wtf and walk away pondering why I wasted my time in flat water all these years and longed to join the likes of real surfski riders like the junkies. Same can be said for lucke, phildo, blasterspasm, suziQ, and who knows who else.  Torrism teachings can be reflected by listening to folks like DCRocks, who thanks Torr for teaching him to look both ways before thinking about looking at a wave. SuziQ thanks Torr "for teaching me how to be a diva about whether the surf is clean enough/vertical PERFECT enough to even bother gazing upon." Lucke is one of many junkies yet to graduate the school of Torrism, noting his daily lessons, "Torr is the guy who cuts you off no matter wehre on the beach you go to show you how to bail on a nose stab, or the legendary almost re-entry."
Torr is one of the few junkies who strive for more or less than "big air." Noone sums up his current riding style better than blasterspasm: "Torr has only been in a couple of ski-to-ski collisions. He now focuses more of his time on surf style rather than big air, which is a reasonable excuse for the countless number of times he has cut people off." The guy definitely never misses an opportunity to justify his "surf style" to make up for a clear and present self-conscious decision to enlighten the rest of junkies on where surf riding is going in the future. Whichever way you slice it, all you have to do is listen to what his fellow junkies have to say and it is clear that Torr is well ahead of his time, scary but true. Torrism tools of the trade such as the pontoon boat, dry suits, gore tex, safety-modded helmets, helmet cams, sport skis, etc, may take time to catch hold but when they do, the whole junkie crew bites and runs with it. It's his foresight, initiative (think  ), and his "unique personality, ability to clear the water of all surfers, skills to pull off the 'sj air onto b1,' and the improvement of his riding within the past year is why he is among the best of the best in the wavejunkie crew," concludes his one-time protege blasterspasm. From the junkster's mouth:Here's to the junks. Surf riding is a way of life that we try and live to the fullest. These are the things that I live for in life. Go out of my way to balance work around. Life is too short to miss out on a passion for $. I will continue to try and evolve our sport within our territory to make it the best experience possible for all of us. Its a great privilege to get to ride with such a large group of devoted friends that are pushing our sport and our crew to the next level. Thank God for the Ocean, sport skis, and the junkers...........heres a  toast to the "Salt life". Werd:- "ya all anit chit unless you got gore tex
