Where did the BOB part come from?

[makobob]

Short for Robert, sitting on the swim step with a chum slick going, my buddy asked what I was doing.Told him I was Bobbing around, then threw him a 3 foot mako pup I had just grabbed free hand, he was just swiming around the chum bucket.

[Pocoloco]

Pocoloco was the name of my first boat and my lifestyle at the time.

[WildernessWanker]

Been a while, new faces.
My first kayak was a wilderness systems tarpon plus I love the outdoors, the wilderness. The first time I surf launched I cut off some surfer that was coming in and he called me a "wanker" as he flew by. Made sense at the time, although I probably would have gone with my username on all other forums, "Trioxide3."

[Chops6531]

Well I'm really short and have been that way all my life...in Spanish "chapparito" means short and everyone in my family called me that. So as the years went buy my brothers started calling me Chops and the nickname stuck. 6531 is my MOS as a Marine. I'm an Aviation Ordnanceman!

[FISH11]

FISH 11 . To go fishing was why I decided to get a Kayak in the first place and excersise. I thought the word FISH would already be taken so I just added my jersey number from when I used to play Soccer in High School and College. The number 11 was my favorite of all the different number I used in all the years I played. Later on someone signed up and used Fish and a bunch of people posted they couldn't believe it was available and I like many never thought to try it.

[Rambo]

Can't believe no body choose Rambo on the board yet so I just typed it in and bam I'm in luck. Chose Rambo cause my name is Sambo. Yes it's a derogatory term. I've heard all the stories and the restaurant, the published book. . And so on. . But my name in Cambodian (Khmer) is a prefix added before the word meaning plentiful. And some people just can't pronounce Sam-bow!

My favorite pistol to shoot and use is 1911 in .45 caliber.

i loved being on the water, but HATED "PADDLING" a yak with my arms. To me, it was just too much work & too slow speed, and so i always preferred riding the jet skis my sister also had back in TX.

then i test-drove my first fishing kayak, the Hobie Outback, in July 2003 at Fast Lane Sailing Center in Misn Bay.

and was immediately addicted to the pedal drive system, bought the yak that day, took to LaJolla the next day..... and then promptly rolled & dumped on my first ever launch attempt.

i had NO CLUE what i should be doing to correctly pilot a kayak period, let alone in the surf. but just kept at it, until i sort of learned.

by the time i found the kayak msg boards around late 2004, i was completely addicted to fishing from the Hobie Kayak with the pedal drive.... so choosing my username, was very simple for me.

One afternoon, I flipped coming back from a long day of fishing.

I rolled down that big wave all the way to the sandy beach! A tourist saw me and said i looked like Driftwood washing up the beach.

probably the BEST "STORY" behind any username here.

partly because the name is just flat out cool.

and partly because of the many great photoshop images & gif images IceMan has made for his various accts, on many of the common fishing websites.

HONORABLE MENTION: i haven't seen any posts by him in past few years, but "MAD SCIENTIST" was always my second favorite username on the message boards. pretty cool name as well.
