Screw school man! I need more people delivering my pizzas, pouring my coffee, handing me my burritos out the drive-thru, and, most importantly, receiving an unEarned Income Tax Credit.....

I usually surf in the morning and then go for an evening sesh.
Good Luck.
as someone else said, save your skips for when it's good enough to be out all day. realistically, how long are you gonna be out in 35° water? 3 hours (tops) is my guess.Quote:

like a few others here, i'm a teacher. i've never missed a day of school in my career b/c i was sick, mostly b/c i don't get sick. i've missed plenty of days over the years to surf all day. you gotta know when to hold 'em & when to fold 'em. winter surfing, for me, isn't a hold 'em proposition. i still get plenty of water time, but the forecast looks like it's gonna be better in the afternoon where i am, so i'll be the first one out the door when that bell rings so i can get in the water.
if you're in college, look at the forecast & figure out when the best tide/wind combo will be for your spot & try to surf then or as close to it as possible. if you're in high school, get your ass to class. you've got plenty of time to blow off school or work to surf the good days ahead of you (& besides, you can surf after school).
LOL, I checked out years ago and never came back from the dark side. Man, what have we become!?! What a bunch of old farts we are, telling this poor kid to go to class and be responsible, because someday he might have a good life/work balance and a 401K. Screw that noise, kid, don't listen to any of us. Don't trust anyone over 30. Ditch, go surfing. You only live once. Sh!1, some of the best memories of my 7 years of college were my ditch days.Quote:

Yeah, I rememberin FL, skipping school and hitting the Bee Line Expressway to Cocoa. Got a day of surfing in and still got back before rents got home. How was school today son? It was great! LOL
Where in FL you from Zeroevol? Sounds like me and my buddies back in the day. I still hit the Bee Line these days, just no school to skip unfortunately, just put in my time off request at work and go.Quote:
