I confess that after this summer of no surf I'm ready to sign up for a season pass to Kelly Slade's wave pool which means: 1) pay to play 2) Pink eye (which should be called poop eye cause its caused by poop) 2.1) Probably double pink eye 3) Fresh or Chlorinated water surfing seems deplorable 4) Crowds galore 5) Eating French fries while waiting for my turn in the "Lineup" which is an actual line filled with kids and their adult handlers.
Just think if your surfing a good size day and your out a few hours you start gettin tired and then loose your board and maybe a stronger rip pushes you out farther, yu can at least float a while ...cant you .
But think what kind of days yu loose your board , not on those nice sunny glassy small days that break nice and close to beach but on a day that will snap your leash .at least buy a quality leash. Crow Haley makes good ones.
Do you know how to duck dive , or even turn turtle to get out, cant always just rely on leash and dive off like a kook, sometimes yu just got to hug it tight and take a beatin cuz if you ditch your board and let it go then it goes and hits someone near yu or paddlin out
I tried one when I saw 2 because I thought it was the cool thing to do, man I was wrong. I gave them up for lyfe!
I have a vivid memory of riding in the cart as a toddler and seeing some other kid with his finger up to the second knuckle digging for gold as our carts passed each other. My mind was blown, I didn't know people could do such a thing. Young man changed my life. But yeah SS, no eating them.
Might want to reconsider for the little one SS. Studies say kids that eat their boogers, play in the dirt/mud and bite their nails are healthier later in life. A few good doses of bacteria early on sets up a healthy immune system for life.
goose I'm gonna use that as a segue to come clean here myself...I hope you guys don't think any less of me but... I'm Ben, and I eat boogers sometimes. And I really like when I have a head cold and that thick sh!t comes out me sinuses. I'm also, obviously, struggling with my SI addiction. Also, since I've been doing the two gig deal, I always carry my backpack, with personal hygiene supplies, which occasionally facilitate me roasting a doob on lunch. Baby wipes and hand sanitizer go a long way.
Use to do home and apartment remodeling and maintenance for some property mgmt. companies during my youth. Maybe a dozen times I'd be doing wall prep getting ready to paint when I'd come across a gigantic Wall Of Boogers, always in the bedroom next to where a bed used to be. These people would just pick their noses at night and wipe the treasure right on the wall next to them. And guess what? It was always the adults room...never the kid's room. Maybe the kids disposed of them properly? YUMMY.
LOL I think the time for "could" has past. I wish I would have taken a screenshot of post #1 before it was deleted. Twas the stuff of legends.
