Do you surf how you skate?

good question baddy t

 

That is trippy. Is your left eye your master eye? I am right handed but I shoot lefty due to my master eye being my left one. It helped me in baseball cause batting right handed, your left eye is closer to the pitcher. Also in other things like martial arts, a bit, maybe. Do you shoot lefty? That could explain why your brain/body is wired like it is.

 

All sports, and shooting (guns), right handed...right eye dominant. I could handle b-ball and shoot well with both but still right "handed". I have always wore my watch on left hand. Who knows. I can't wink with my right eye (closing right eye) unless I really focus (no pun intended).

 

I've been skating for years (usually rinks) then found rollerblades and find them more cool than roller skates . (man I can't believe I was such a tool?!)

 

I surf, skate and boogie the same..
mad steeze and gangster leanz...

 

I surf and skate the same ... poorly and not often enough.

 

My surfing is definitely influencing my skating but i can do way more tricks on a skateboard than i can on the surfboard. I started skating first. But surfed pretty quickly after.

 

I grew up in an industrial area littered with dilapidated buildings far from the ocean.i didn't grow up thinking I want to be a surfer one day.so where I was at was prime real estate for skating and bmxing.I originally rode bikes,building jumps in the woods and in the abandoned buildings with old crates and shopping carts.those were the days.when ur a kid and u get into an abandoned business,its like finding a remote island with epic surf to u surfers.I don't think u can do that anymore.

I don't remember why I stopped riding bikes and why I started skating.i remember I bought my first skateboard,an alien workshop from an older gent lots of people warned me about.the guy was cool tho.anyway I skated for the next 15 yrs,got good,got hurt a lot.i started surfing a few years before I moved down to the shore.a school buddy I skated with talked me into trying it and I was hooked.

so then my family moves down to the beach area where my brother lives so my mom could be closer to the kids.well we moved and the kids didn't come over that often.from there I lived in 4 different houses all in the same area 1 square mile.im still not a fan of living in a shore town,it fuking sucks.only cool thing is im close to the ocean.but skating was dead when I moved out here.this is a town where people will call the cops on you for your skateboard being too loud.loud music will get u 10 tickets,an air freshner hanging from the rear view mirror will get u a $35 ticket.iv gotten just about every ticket possible,but iv been here for the past 9 yrs and all the cops know me now so they don't mess with me anymore.

id rather live north from the ocean just to feel at home again.i don't mind a long drive.since I moved out here my life is pretty dull.wake up go to work,come home,repeat.that's why im on here so often lol,I don't know anybody and don't want to know anybody that lives here.and the waves suck in sea bright area ,much better in ocean county.its either on or off,no in between.3 ft windswells break on the sand,waves don't work til its 5-6 ft and u have waves that will break every board you have on every ride.its great,but not often

 

Cep, I love your posts man. It's like watching the movie Four Rooms, all these different plots that are separate from the other but are all tied together somehow. You've come a long way by adding paragraphs to your longer posts too btw HAHA

 

+1

love you cep

 

I guess I like surfing big hollow waves , and vert half/ bowls...

 

He got arrested in 01. Not sure where he is today but here is some sweet old footage plus the first iteration of the Go Pro.

i surf like i skate:

skating i will work on a trick over and over and over like an autistic kid.

surfing, i sabotage myself because i will want to work on a specific movement that day and do it over and over as opposed just surfing. i guess thats trying to get better, but it does get me ag sometimes.

 

way cool.
thanks for posting that; he was huge.

i wonder how well he'd do on modern equipment....quite well, i bet.

 

That was righteous! His catlike crouch and explosive, fluid turns were inspiring to me as a grom. That and what he said about big waves.

 

Epic!

 

Yeah it woudl be cool to see him on modern stuff.

I know when I was a grom Bertlemann and Buttons were the shiznit. Those guys always looked like they were skating the wave.

 

Having a Carver has influenced my surfing for sure. Not so much from my early street skating days though, but I do have general board skills as a result of all those years of skating.

 

I still havnt been on a carver.i don't have any hills in my town so it would probably be useless.all this recent skate talk makes me want to get a new board,but I think it would be very akward seeing an old somewhat fat guy ripping on a skateboard lol.im still a kid in my head but my body says different.it sucks getting old
