    Paddling is different from swimming. Both are cardio, but paddling is like swimming with your head out of the water, tarzan syle, in terms of what muscles are taxed the most. And yes, paddling on a board will toughen the ribs and nips.

    I took a copy of White Fang and some other Jack London stories down to CR, to cool things off. London is the best adventure writer ever! Read "The Cruise of the Snark", it is hilarious and super cool. He builds a boat and sails it to Hawaii and beyond....

    "Soon we were out in deep water where the big smokers came roaring in. [Just] facing them and paddling seaward over them and through them, was sport enough in itself. One had to have his wits about him, for it was a battle in which mighty blows were struck, on one side, and in which cunning was used on the other side—a struggle between insensate force and intelli- gence. I soon learned a bit. When a breaker curled over my head, for a swift instant I could see the light of day through its emerald body; then down would go my head, and I would clutch the board with all my strength. Then would come the blow, and to the on- looker on shore I would be blotted out. In reality the board and I have passed through the crest and emerged in the respite of the other side. I should not recommend those smashing blows to an invalid or delicate person. There is weight behind them, and the impact of the driven water is like a sand-blast."

    skimming is good exercise, but the short sprints don't do much for cardio or any of the muscles you need for surfing. Cardio is not only going to make you be able to surf longer, but it diminishes exhaustion after you get out.

    Bikes are quite good for cardio...and mask some of the monotony of exercise with the fun of riding (well, it's not that fun). Bikes also strengthen quadricep muscles needed for solid bottom turns.

    Add some push-up and crunches and that'll cover the basics....but, yeah, nothing takes the place of actually surfing.

    Damn you guys weren't kidding! Jack London taking the back exit of a f*cking barrel, awesome!

    NYNJ, remember when you did that Playgirl cover? Man the ladies loved you. Everyone knows how you were a master of captivating a televised audience, but few know that you are equally adept at captivating a woman's heart.

    Here's to you Geraldo ... God's gift to hardcore pseudo journalism and women alike!

    Very few smart things are posted on here. Lots of dudes on here are probably looking at everything they've said and are wondering whats wrong with them!

    Respect everyone regardless of their gender, race, surfing ability... especially on the internet.

    Now about the actual tread,

    Finally! A skimmer who realizes they need to start surfing. I can understand if we don't have any waves, but guess what? WE DO. The day I realized we had this was the day I sold all my skimboards.

    The day that all the skimmers in DE realize a great break is 2 mins away is the day we all are angered to the point of dead bodies being found on the beach ;)
    (or did I just give the "secret" spot away to all the 2 skimmers on here?)

    Dude, you seem cool. Can't you see past the jokes and realize it's all in the name of fun. When's the last time you held a door open for a lady, prince ****ing valiant?
    Learn to separate these ideas mentally and you're gonna be golden.
    By the way, nothing wrong with a bit of friendly racism either. Half that **** is funny as hell, and true too. In fact, if you inspect closely the interactions of the closest of friends, regardless of races, gender, sexual orientation, or any other subdivisions you'll realize that some of the most bonding of moments are those when you rip on the most personal of subjects and deficits.
    That's why you get offended for your friends when an outsider makes the same joke. It's of bonding nature. But thanks for feeding the divide between human beings, way to make everything about negativity.
    not like you're stabbi people in building elevators for it. Lighten the **** up.
    Look at these morals federales.
