- damien wills rips in surfing but he cant seem to keep his ego in check constantly writing off boogers whenever a shot of him at the zone features in a surfing mag, stuff like "the dick draggers call it the zone.." and "there are tonnes of bodyboarders, but you don't have to worry about them". is he joking or for real. i met him at my local reef when it was just the two of us out and he was cool. just trying to play up the image me thinks
