Surfing with music?

[ND081]

seems like a stupid idea to me. kind of like riding your bike on the road while listening to music. also, i would probably hate it considering i like to get away from all that stuff when i surf

"tuning out the world" means different things to differnt people, i suppose. to me, it means being so self-absorbed that you ignore the beauty of the world around you...the sound & feel of the wind, the dolphins cruising by just outside the line up, the osprey hunting over head, even ignoring the presence of the other surfers in the water (the ultimate gesture of rudeness IMO...basically saying, you're of so little importance to me that i refuse to even acknowledge you're existence.) to me, these are all part of what going surfing, or just being in or on the water, is about. getting away from civilization & experiencing all nature has to offer.
surfing isn't exercise...it might be a hell of a workout, but it's not "exercise" in the typical sense. thus, no music for me. if i'm cranking out 5000 meters on the erg at the gym, fine. if i'm outdoors, give me the sound of what's going on around me.

you sound like a d o u c h e

wannabe hippie treehugging girl/rob machado broseph

who on the inside is a stuck up, self concious ***, who revolves his life around surfing but is afraid of any wave over shoulder high

I'm actually really torn on the music idea... so anybody with experience with this id be really interested too.

It's def worth a try for a solo session id say. Nobody's tried it ?

Surfing with music?

I know they make waterproof ipod cases and water proof headphones, but how easy are these to use while sufing and how durable are they? Does anyone have any positive or negative experience with listening to music while surfing, i am considering trying it out.

now what's better than silence and the sound of a wall of whitewater headed towards you??

Make your own music. Rat-a-tat-tat on the deck of your board and sing to the ocean.

Don't get me wrong, i enjoy the sound of the ocean also; I just know when im out in the lineup i ALWAYS have a song stuck in my head that im singing to myself and i think i could definately get more pumped if i was actually listening to that song. Maybe one day they will have speakers set up in the actual surfboards hahah.
