Want to get son in water this summer.

Dude, people surf Cyclops all the time... and cool, you guys can pull into close outs, good for you. you can paddle hard and grip onto foam really hard.

Listen man... I dont have nothing against surfers or surfing...I am a fan of it all...Period.
My motto is; Do... you...and catch your waves however you can.....

but it's As$hoIes like LOSTsoul and EPIC...that give every other surfer a bad name.
that's all i'm saying.

 

Why am I an as$hole? I was simply pointing out the correlation between boogie boarding and h0m0sexuality. That's all. No biggie.

 

This past summer, i was in the water and there was this mom yelling at her kids. her kids were like crying about how they didnt want to surf, but their mom was forcing them too. Dont force anything upon your kids, it was depressing seeing that, also, my parents forced me to play piano, play basketball, and play lacrosse when i was a little kid. I hate all three things now. Let them choose.

 

I agree you can't force them but you can't let them decide everything. If you do you will get a kid that sits on the couch eating tasty cakes and watching tv 24 hours a day. The mother should have said we are going to the beach today and had fun in front of them. Once they realize that it is hot and boring on the beach they will want to come out in the water. I have a friend who let his kids decide everything for themselves, even when they were 3 and had no idea of what they want to do or what is fun or not. These kids are now a bunch of slugs and tyrants, they rule that house and why not, their point of view is as valid as everyone elses, or so they have been told. I was forced to play guitar and I still love it.

 

+1 for zippy again. totally agree. the things i love most in my life are the things I didn't want to do until someone made me, including surfing. I boogie boarded until this one kid told me I was a p**** for not surfing, since I had a surfboard for a year but never rode it, and he finally got me in the water. Haven't gotten out since
