Might as well come clean

always go easier on someone when they fess-up, as opposed to when they r caught. If they admit it they r starting to git it. if they hide it, again they shall try it.

 

+1^^I never heard Frost say he was a shredda or even a surfer for that matter. Probably more honest than 95% of us on here. I agree with everybody on the whole learning to swimme thing. Frost you stated you were goal oriented so I wanna see a vid of you swimming whilst giving the finger to all of us sometime soon.

This is a long tread and Frost started it. And how.

 

Well said.

Git 'em Mr. Frost. You started this big ol' tread. You floatin on yer back, flippin a bigg'n would be sweet. Once ya git past the first 10 secs of doggie paddlin, it's cake dude.

Cake.

I'm rootin fer ya.

 

.....and now you're quoting Wiki to us as the definition of what a surfer is...? dude.....

 

I was introduced to surfing in the mid 70's, a few hippsters (or whatever they were called back then) (nerds) had bungee cord leashes with a leather ankle strap , but hard cores disliked them so as a newb. I wanted to be like the cool guys, hell couldn't afford it anyway, i was lucky to have a board. After the first attempt at a wave i found out how swimming was necessary, after pearling, my head popped up and my board was a distant memory, it was 100 yards away and headed for shore, i swam and retrieved it, paddled back out, did the same thing again, the second swim sucked, i'm not the brightest guy in the ocean, so it took a few more times, then i decided to fall on my board, grab the rails, and not swim so much, things got easier as I learn to stand/turn. leashes r great but the day they break, "ur swimming, that's all u got". It never dawned on me that there r people out in the line-up who can not swim, in theory everyone should learn without a leash, it teaches u ur limitations and what to do when urs breaks.

 

kook of the year

 

C'mon Frosty Dude. Quotin Wiki kinda wilts yer cred.

I'm still rootin fer ya, but go take yer lessons this week.

Just bail for a minute, become a swimmer, send us that bird pic.

You'll be in the runnin for Memba OTY, if we even have that still.

But SHHH!!! No more Wiki. Woik wit me.

 

swimming is "almost" as fun as surfing.my step pops grandmother was an Olympic swimmer,she would swim from sea bright to the end of sandy hook.she passed many years ago.i remember my first real look at seeing amazing waves was when I was 5 we were at her house in the middle of the winter in sea bright and saw perfect 7-8ft a frames.that was probably 1990-91.sea bright once had amazing waves

 

that's the best practice for surfing,open ocean swimming.since frost is an ameutuer go out when its flat and try to swim from jetty to jetty outside the jettys.I once paddled from sea bright to long branch on a hurricane swell since sea bright was dumping shorebreak.I was on a board ofcourse.by the time we reached long branch,the waves were building in size,it was a rising groundswell and I was way outside,and like a 10 wave clean up set washed through and every surfer except me got washed in and im out there alone like wtf lol.it was an amazing late summer swell,i think it was either 2008 or 2009.

 

hold my breathe

 

Dang. Gaff bringin it. It's like Nat Geo mag as a kid. History AND nekkid women at the same time.

 

And the women surfed naked! Yeeewwwww

 

They knew how to duck dive as well.

 

Mermaids

 

If someone told me there's a guy pushing 60 that 'surfs' but can't swimme.
And also tells me my mother is really a man.
Then ask me which story is true.
I'd probably give my new dad a hug.
Epic troll

 

do u know sunny Garcia didn't know how to swim when he started surfing

 

Might as well clean come.

 

But this just dawned on me...cats don't even like water, but they swim real good..."ijs"

 

You mean they are speaking oppositely of you therefore they are morons. Yeah this is the place where logic comes to take it's last heave.

No - here's you logic. What does that mean "go learn to swim"? Watch a lesson YouTube? Last I checked, the first best place to learn to swim in IN THE WATER,

Good grief.

 

As learning to swim is essential to surfing
So is learning to read, to partake in an online surf forecasting forum.

Would u like me to answer you seriously or shake it off like my girl Taylor?
How aboot a herro thread?
