Not necessarily. I've been married for 5 years and my wife would not be happy about me taking a week long trip and it has nothing to do with trust. We both only get 3 weeks of vacation a year with...

+1. I could ride a skateboard when I was 5 so I guess that makes Tony Hawk a ***** compared to any kook who can manage to stand up for 3 seconds on a short board. I could ride a bike when I was 5...

Seriously. I was down in Wrightsville beach a month ago without my board. I had some free time, rented a 9ft soft top board for $15, and had a blast for a couple of hours in knee high surf. Best...

What you say is probably true about a short board being more of a workout, but nobody is saying that you should never ride one. We're only suggesting that you start on a long board to get your skill...

I'm not there yet, and I honestly may never make the transition to a shortboard. Don't know if I'll ever want to. At this point in my life I'll be happy if I can consistantly ride a long board well...

That's the best advice I ever got when learning, and I foolishly ignored it. I started surfing when I was 40 and thought I would pick it up easily because I was fit, had good balance, and...

That's usually about all it takes. Wasn't it always the kid who was a little strange that got picked on in school?

I admit I was beginning to have my doubts about gruvi, but I'm glad he's legit.

If I may... you guys are pretty good at sniffing out ninjas if, in fact, gruvy is one. My first reaction when I read his first post was that he sounded like me a few years ago when I first started. ...

Now that's one thing I won't cheap out on. You've got to spend money on the quality silicon models.

I think you're right, I think I got Xcel boots AND gloves for $100. Even better.

Same here- wearing a $20 Freestyle Shark. Most people don't have umlimited funds to buy things. I tend to spend my free cash on things that will keep me in the water longer, like warmer gloves and...

Why do I wear a cheap watch? Because I'm cheap and I ONLY wear a watch when I'm surfing, so why do I need an expensive one? Is this trendy? I don't know, I've never really paid attention to what...

I'm 44 and I definitely don't rule- in fact I just started learning to surf a few years ago :) If you want to see some stares from the young guys try being 44 and kooking it up in knee high surf. ...

I'm actually looking forward to surfing in my 3/2 full suit again. Everytime I'm out in board shorts the inside of my thighs gets rubbed raw and the hair gets torn out from the board wax. Does this...

When I first started I only had a 4/3 and boardshorts and thought THAT was all I really needed. Now I also have a 3/2 and spring suit and I think the spring suit was definitely not a waste, in fact...

That's just it for me, there's more skill in surfing and that skill takes time to develop and maintain. I just can't make surfing a priority in my life right now. I don't regret that at all, I have...

Tsunami swell??!!

This might only be like my 2nd or 3rd post... that video brought me out of lurking with a serious LOL. I want just that 5 second clip in a continuous loop. Sucked to be the SUP dude.

Ha! That reminds me of a story of a friend of mine who was traveling for work and staying in a hotel. One night he was out drinking pretty heavily, went back to his room, took off all his clothes...

That's been my approach. I'm new to surfing (second year) and I picked up a 9' long board on Craigslist for a few hundred bucks that had a good number of dings but was water tight. My second time...
