That's exactly the type of B.S, I'm talking about. It makes no sense. They can't do the job that we can. We are actually a part of what makes the water safe. I've pulled in more people than I can...

That's exactly the type of B.S, I'm talking about. It makes no sense. They can't do the job that we can. We are actually a part of what makes the water safe. I've pulled in more people than I can...
I didn't take my anger out on the lifeguard. I calmly let him be, and as far as getting organized, up to now there's really been no need. Besides that, most of the VA Beachers everyone hates so...
Respect for what? I was surfing an unguarded part of the beach. The guard was only rolling by on his four-wheeler on a part of the beach that's rarely patrolled. Though there are hours posted for...
Sweet swell in VA Beach today, but who gets to experience it? - Only the sheep surfing the jetty and those fortunate enough to get out in the water before they shut it down. The sheepherders were on...
It depends, where are you traveling, how many boards do you feel you need, how much is the airline going to charge you, and can you rent boards where you're going? Some airlines charge $75 per board...

Good call to whoever posted The Black Seeds link, they are...
I'm a sponger, so crucify me now for my love of riding flat. I've surfed stand-up, as in short boards, longboards, and SUP. To this day, though, nothing gets me off like bodyboarding and...
Yeah, go out and start swimming for as long as you can under water - in the ocean or in a pool. Go swim and paddle even when there's no surf. Go run. Hold your breath for as long as you can...
Quite the opposite. The sea lice tend to get trapped by the stuff you were in the water thus extending their reign of terror. The only thing that effectively deals with them is a fresh water shower.
Dudes, I've surfed all over Santa Barbara. Some swells. its crowded, some swells, its not. Again, avoid the crowd by surfing off camber spots that don't have 5 million peeps on them... Just got done...
You being a New Englander and all, NorCal thru Oregon would be a solid bet. Almost anywhere in Cali is great and less crowded during the winter when the kooks are in school or at work or to against...
Exactly. I have a friend who was a pro, then the money dried up, then he tore his ACL. Now he sits around depressed, getting fat, and doesn't surf anything. I told, "You know there's no shame in...
This debate never ceases to crack me up. Surfer's that hate on bodyboarders do it because they're jealous, ego driven kooks. They spend all this time learning to stand, and then here comes my lazy...
First, if you're on a shortboard amongst a crowd of long boarders, then you have to expect your not going to get very many waves. Second, quit your crying, get another board, or go surf somewhere...
Maybe if I didn't feel so pressured to be cool every time I walked into the local surf shop, or get stink eye from the young grom who doesn't know a thing beyond what he reads in the mags and who...
When I lived on Maui, it always seemed to be the locals who trashed the beach. Heaven forbid they'd have a beach party, the next morning, the beach would look like a bomb had exploded in a frat...
