Surfing with music?

I am curious as well. I have read that it is a bit muffled with water interference. But, it may be worth it. I have music I listen to for every mood and every activity. This is one that I would love to make playlists to also.

 

it would be annoying to have that on, but i think i'd surf 266.66% better and harder with my music somehow playing.

 

The only experience i've had with them, was other people not being able to hear me while im yelling to them down the line not to drop in. Pretty frustrating. Maybe it would be cooler is people only wore one earbud? It takes away a lot of the alertness you need while surfing, but whatever floats your boat.

 

i've never had any experience w/ this, positive or negative, but it seems like a pretty stupid idea to me. just another way to tune out the world around you.

 

What the he'll is better than the sound of the ocean!

 

That's one of my favorite things about surfing.... I tune out the world

 

Give it time and there'll be a hood with an implemented earphone jack... -_-
I never listen to music during any exercise, running, hiking, OR surfing, it ruins the true connection to the sport in my opinion.

 

I know what you're saying. But, for me, it just ends up becoming background music when I get into the zone (especially when running, snowboarding, or exercising).

 

"tuning out the world" means different things to differnt people, i suppose. to me, it means being so self-absorbed that you ignore the beauty of the world around you...the sound & feel of the wind, the dolphins cruising by just outside the line up, the osprey hunting over head, even ignoring the presence of the other surfers in the water (the ultimate gesture of rudeness IMO...basically saying, you're of so little importance to me that i refuse to even acknowledge you're existence.) to me, these are all part of what going surfing, or just being in or on the water, is about. getting away from civilization & experiencing all nature has to offer.
surfing isn't exercise...it might be a hell of a workout, but it's not "exercise" in the typical sense. thus, no music for me. if i'm cranking out 5000 meters on the erg at the gym, fine. if i'm outdoors, give me the sound of what's going on around me.

 

seems like a stupid idea to me. kind of like riding your bike on the road while listening to music. also, i would probably hate it considering i like to get away from all that stuff when i surf

 

you sound like a d o u c h e

 

thanks. people not liking me is the highest compliment in my eyes. it means i'm not a sheep.

 

in that case, you sound more like a

wannabe hippie treehugging girl/rob machado broseph

who on the inside is a stuck up, self concious ***, who revolves his life around surfing but is afraid of any wave over shoulder high

i rarely post but i really dont like you, haha

 

damn...you nailed me. glad that i annoy you so much that you go out of your way to post on an anonymous message board about someone you don't know. you sure showed me...

 

I'm actually really torn on the music idea... so anybody with experience with this id be really interested too.

It's def worth a try for a solo session id say. Nobody's tried it ?

 

you sound like a t r o l l

 

now what's better than silence and the sound of a wall of whitewater headed towards you??

 

Make your own music. Rat-a-tat-tat on the deck of your board and sing to the ocean.
