Surfing

Aramis · 11-11-2004, 01:00 AM

Does anybody else enjoy surfing/bodyboarding/skimboarding? If so, how long?

I do all three, and I've been doing it for about 5 years now. I haven't been in competition yet, although chances are I might, since I'm in Surf Club this year at my school and I signed up for participation in competition.

If you've never done any of the above, I suggest you purchase yourself a board and get out and have fun. It's one of the best rides ever. . .and it surely helps relieve stress, plus it's a great time killer for those days when you've got nothing to do.

I really enjoy it, but am not very good. The nearest place is a 2 hour drive, but when I'm there (tofino) I can play the planet smashers song "Surfin In Tofino" which is a rockin song.

I surfed until I moved to PA. I would have joined the surf club at my high school before I graduated but part of the hazing (shhh) was to wear a wetsuit all day and they put all kinds of crap in them, including sand.

I surfed up until about 8 months ago when I sold my board. Was meaning to buy a brand new one but I keep spending my money when I get it. I was using a 9'2" longboard, and wanna get probably the same again.

I surf whenever I go to the beach. I just use a rental board, seeing that I live 2 hours away from the beach and can only surf like 3 months of he year. I'm pretty good considering I can only surf like a few times a year.

Just a note: Surfing threads don't work well with MXers because A: Computers don't work well in the ocean and B) MXers are mostly nerds.

Wetsticks 6.0, rocked gulf coast hurricane season.

thanks for the tip.

where did you live before you moved to PA anyway?

evil_broccoli · 11-11-2004, 10:06 PM

Other than being a half-devote MXer, I do a lot of sport, and well, livin in surfers' paradise in Aussie helps a lot too! Kick-*** waves, the lot! I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone that can tan well

Please tell me you're referring to Newport Beach in Orange County (Los Angeles), California. . .cuz that place is **** awesome. Plus my bro used to live 5 minutes away from there when he was there for college.

Florida waters are so much warmer than the ones here in the Pacific though. Come here to California for better waves. . .and bring a wetsuit.

Do u surf longbeach or wick (or elsewhere...) on victoria island??? I surfed there a couple years ago, not too bad. See all the attention ur local boys are getting in the surf mags, Raph and Sepp Bruhwiler?? Pretty sweet.

I surf mostly in FL., Sebastian, South Beach, Ft. Pierce area, but Im actually from Ontario, Canada. Pretty weak. I spent the summer in England, South West coast in a little surf town called Bude, in Cornwall, it kicked, I was living sooo close to the beach, I could check out the surf from my front door... really made me want to move to a coast! I hit up Newquay while I was there too, Fistral Beach. So thats my little surfing history, not too big yet, but its getting there! haha. Such a chill sport, I love just being in the water, one with the ocean, that bs, but its so true. Good times guys, I suggest u try it if u havent yet, especially if you are comfortable in the ocean, its another excuse to get in there... not that you should need one

Wow. You gotta let me know if you're ever coming to San Diego.

Yes I am.

I don't live too far (Irvine), but it takes a while to get there on a bike. Did your brother goto UCI?

Very good guess, but no. He lived in Long Beach for awhile to attend an art school called Brooke's College (also about 2 minutes away from Cal State Long Beach).

I'm assuming you've also surfed at Huntington Beach. . .? That place is amazing, only there's wayyyy too many people (obviously). He's taken me up there quite a few times, and those waves are a lot stronger than the ones I'm used to here in San Diego.

Yeah, I've been to Huntington plenty of times, my dad likes taking us because he grew up there. Huntington has a lot of great waves, but if you want something amazing check out The Wedge in Newport. There are massive waves there because of the jetties and something else that I can't remember.

I used to live in hawaii, now i live in San Diego. so yes, i surf all the time. And Phucked, have you seen the swell thats coming in on Sunday? 7-11 ft. down here, 20-30 up in NorCal.

shane italian · 11-12-2004, 02:34 PM

surfkauai, over the summer did you experience the waves made by some hurricane around Asia? In Laguna (which usually get's about 4-5 ft waves) there were 15 ft sets. I have to say, it was amazing to see.
