Wedding Rings and Surfing

HaHaHa!!!!!

 

Since this thread was dug up......

Being a woodworker, I make my own wedding bands and just wear the simple ones that didn't take me long to make when I'm in the water. If it breaks, so what. I never lose them, I have huge knuckles and the flexibility of the wood ring is about the only thing that will allow me to even get the thing on or off.

 

My wedding band has links so it's flexible and easy to take on and off. I always take it off when I work out or surf. Better safe than sorry. A friend of mine has been through 3 in four years...he takes it off now.

 

i take mine off. Luckily for me i do. I jammed a few fingers up on the ocen floor recently, and my ring finger swelled up pretty good. Would have had to have it cut off.

 

I've been married 8 yrs, surf 150+ sessions a year and never take it off, but a friend of mine who I surf with has lost 4 in the 15 yrs married, all of them while surfing

 

I like that idea BrandX. Been married for 17 yrs, and have surfed with it on and off. Like to have it on, so may have to buy a cheap surfing band.

 

I am on my third ring since i didnt like the fit of the first two (I'm a machinist). Neither my wife or I are too sentimental about the one that some preist waved his magical hand over, but i still have that original one in a drawer somewhere.

I can't surf with it.. only time i even notice it, have to take it off.. just doesnt feel harmonious with nature.

Also.. it shines like a fishing lure! I figure wearing it is just asking for a bite

 

Get a chain and wear it around your neck if it means something to her that you always have it on. I lost one immediately the first time I ever forget to leave it in the car. The one I wear now has 7 diamonds in it and is platinum so I leave it at the house with my late father's vintage Rolex- can't take any chances with either off them. My wife just got me an original Shark Freestyle for Father's day so I won't be late for work or have to bug anybody for the time.

 

I almost always take mine off. If I forget to, I just paddle with my fingers locked together (or get out and put it in the car). Only three years here, but haven't lost it yet.

 

Congratulations.

Take it off. Seen too many guys lose it.

 

Got mine tattood on. Not for everyone I know.

 

Congratulations!! I have a vintage wedding ring and dread the idea of losing it. I bought a little cheap silver ring with dolphins on it and use that when I surf or travel. It works just fine and my husband appreciates it since it keeps the surfer dudes from hitting on me and protects the vintage ring from the elements.

 

When the time comes.....that's what I will do too. Much respect to you!

 

This winter I gave my ring to my wife to hold on to. She put it in her sweatshirt pocket, forgot to zip it shut and lost it!!! (I'm on a budget and I thought the ring was not cheap)
So far I haven't bought a new one but when I do I'll put it on my keyring when I surf.

 

Have not taken it off in 36 years. The the size of my knuckle on my ring finger seems to keep it on. If I did take it off, then I'd be sure to lose it. I have wondered about the silver flashing when the blues are running but never had a problem.

 

I wear two rings and neither come off in the water. Most of the time and especially in warm water, there is ZERO chance to get the rings off. In fact, I have to nearly freeze my hand and use soap to get the rings off. If you can take the ring on and off easily, do not wear it surfing, not the case for me.

 

Man, a thread about friggin wedding rings. Oy vey........

First of all, married people are gay. Sissies. Real tough guys are lone wolfs, prowling the forests, and sniffing for bacon. Do you really want to watch some broad defecate everyday? I don't like guys who get married and have kids and then all they do is whine about how busy they are. Well, you should have stayed a wolf........."Oh my God, I'm so busy, I have my job, wife and kids....Ohhh I'm so busy." SHUT THE TRUCK UP !!!!! Please just shut up.....

Please people stop having kids.....PLEASE !!!!! There are way too many people on this planet and each generation is more retarded than the previous. The Georgia Guidestones say there should be 300 million people on earth.....no more, no less. All the Rosacrucians in the house say, " HOOOO." So, please stop having kids. Kids are gross, dudes.
Yeah, another person you can watch defecate everyday. Doesn't feces bother any of you people !!??!! Man, you gotta, like, teach the kid how to defecate.......that is vile......... human vileness, dudes.......

One night many moons ago, I was at a TGI Fridays getting drunk. Flea was just about to make a Camden run and all was looking good. I went to the bathroom to urinate. I get in there, and some dude is in the stall with his kid, remarking about how much "poop" this kid released......and other stuff. I WAS APPALLED....HORRIFIED........I wanted to vomit. This, this is what you people want to go through. Hanging out in an eatery's restroom remarking on the quantity of excrement your kid has released? REALLY ?

Oh man then you gotta ask if you can go surfing on weekends, and the chick's yapping about this and that, your kids got snot running down his face............then you gotta work to support these monsters. What are you dudes doing??? Have you lost your minds?

ARE YOU PEOPLE MAD ????

Dudes, tell your bims to hit the road.......sell your kids........and sell those rings. Do you know how much ready rock you can get for some of those rings? Good lord everyone thinks you have to follow some set human pattern of existence. NO YOU DON'T..........

 

Zach,
My wedding ring is made of Paladium (was told by jeweler that jaws of life would be needed if it needed to be cut off my finger). After that I decided to size it up by a tad. The issue is that with a small amount of effort it comes off, doesn't slip off when dry. But when wet it can slide off.

My conversation w/ the wife was: 1) I don't want to lose it when surfing. 2) I don't want to have to worry about losing it when surfing. She was very understanding and equated it to her taking off her rings when she cleans around the house. Try the first tact then slide into the 2nd if she doesn't buy it. Another scenario when my ring comes off is weight training. Anybody who has lifted moderately heavy weights will probably agree that you pinch the F out of your finger if you leave your ring on (man or woman). Good Luck!

 

I LOL'd at your whole post man. Very well thought out and the part about the Dad & kid @ TGIF's was pure gold!

 

Right on, man. Glad to see someone out there with sense.
