Since we have a thread about skating, i was wondering if anyone surfed. I have been surfing for about 2 summers, i say summers because the water gets so damn cold that you cant go in it her unless you have a wetsuit, and im not willing to buy one. Well just curious as to whether any other tlnetters surf, and for how long, what they can do, what they ride etc.

I currently ride a 7\'4\" rocket shaped Charlie Baldwin board. I love it to death got it for 150$ cheap no dings brand spanking purdy. very old board looked up CB boards they dont exist anymore. I cant do much cant even turn,(turning is harder than you think) i live on the eastcoast so good waves are few and far between. and thats my surf story include yours!

that video was from a powerade commercial. The other being some guy throwing a football 300 yards, and throwing to people 20 yards in front of him knocking them back about 10 yards when they catch it. Still pretty funny..

I live about 10 minutes from the beach and go just about every weekend, yet amazingly ive never bothered to take up surfing. The waves just suck too much on the east coast as mentioned. I see the surfers there just sitting on their boards for upwards of 15-20 minutes at a time waiting for that 1 wave that actually has some potential... and even then they all just fizzle out.
I went to the chippy last night and only orderd chips because I knew I could get fish from her bushy plate.

It's a physical activity which requires a lot of skill to be any good at, and when you are, the feeling is incredible, gliding accross the silky smooth water with the slight rumbling behind you of the wave thrusting your forward. It's like skate boarding, only on the water, and lasting a lot less time, but physically feeling a lot better (nice warm water, sun, salt, etc).

There are lots of things you could question the liklihood of being fun, but must you actually question surfing?

surfing is something you have to experience and when you do i guarantee you will be hooked. and newsaibot for someone who hasnt surfed you have got it pretty much down, but its even more than that and some of it you really cant describe.

I'm all about surfing...I'd be a whole lot better though, if I had the conditions to do it when not vacationing.

Only windsurfing in the 90's... My sister have been surfing some but I doubt that she is any good. She were good at windsurfing, so I guess she could learn if some effort was put into it.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.

I gotta totally bump this thread. Tomorrow Hurricane Irene will be bringing in 7ft swells to Miami Beach. OH BOY. http://magicseaweed.com/South-Beach-Surf-Report/359/

I was going to start another thread until I saw this one. Anyways, this whole week I'll be out there pounding those waves with my http://www.rustysurf.com/website/surfboards-boards-highperformance/dozer/. Anybody else getting ready for these nice swells?



added a video for more awesomeness.

YO, i surf, i live in the UK so its ushally abit shit. But when we get something i love getting down to the beach. I ride a Custom Clayton board with a fish tale, its frickin sick apart from a small dent on the belly of it. I really urge anyone to buy a Clayton board they are worth the price tag.

I've been surfing off and on for about 4 years, on the Oregon Coast.
I use a Santa Cruise board, pretty old, about 7", and a long board somewhere around 8 1/2 feet, can't remember the maker.
I've become rather timid due to a near drowning incident, but I still love the sport very much and get out whenever I can to enjoy the 3-4 footers.

That's funny about the wetsuit thing, OP: in OR you can't stay in the water for more than like 5 minutes without a wetsuit. Most of us have gloves, booties, and a hood as well as a full-body suit. So I don't want to hear it! Lol.

Oh jesus! It's super choppy at the moment, about 8ft swells and just getting bigger. It will go up to 10ft later on. I'm typing this from the beach as we speak. It's pretty damn nice, love seeing waves like this when a hurricane is passing by.
