I moved 3.5 hours from the beach for a girl. I made her a deal that I would do it for her to do what she needed to do after she graduated college, but eventually we would have to move back to the beach. I lasted 3 years, in that time we did get married. Now we have 3 kids and they all surf and the only trips we go on revolve around surfing pretty much. So make a compromise, if you don't want to lose her but let her know that your heart is at the beach with her
I just typed this really long response and realized I hadn't answered your question so I deleted it. To answer your question, from a guy who did move inland for a girl (wife).... if you have to ask yourself that question, you probably shouldn't do it. Only you know the answer to that. If you know she is the one for you, you probably wouldn't be asking this question. If you know she isn't, don't bother. If you're not sure either way, well.... then you should probably take some more time and you will know the answer soon enough. Best of luck. TM
like you, i just like head high and clean with occ plus sets....makes me warm and fuzzy on the inside
Somewhere on some internet thread somewhere this guy's girlfriend has posted the question, "My boyfriend is a surfer and he wants to live near the beach. i want to move 5 hours inland. WHat should I do?" And there's probably a zillion replies telling her she's nuts for considering moving away from the beach and her surfer boyfriend.
ah back to the ole pipe laying. give her a good one of those and her priorities will be set straight in no time
I second that. I bought a house 60 minutes from my job and 11 minutes from my break. Priorities are what define you. Everything can and will change except yourself so be where you, yourself are happy.
Stay salted for life! Screw anything inland (well then come home)....mountains, desert whatever....it all sucks the life outta ya! Stay at the beach bro! Seriously...it has never failed me and girls have time and time again!
The real question here is, "Is a girl worth giving up surfing?".. The answer depends on your feelings toward the sport. What is surfing to you? A hobby. Or a lifestyle? Figure out the answer to that, and you'll have the answer you were looking for.
Married a girl 36 years ago instead of moving to Hawaii, still and always have lived less then two miles from the beach. Lots of surf trips no regrets. Surfs Up!
A wise man once told me to date many women, cause you don't know what your really going to like utill you check it out. Don't move.
no i wouldn't. i'm set where i'm living now in jersey. it took me years to be able to afford the luxury or getting a house in a beach town, and starting my own business. this is pretty much it for me. if i ever got anywhere near enough money i would buy a condo on oahu or something. other than that this is where i'm staying. already have someone i'm happy with, but hypothetically my answer is still no. i did almost move to jacksonville florida though to be with a girl. big difference though since that's on the coast, and apparently a very good area for surf in the atlantic.
I know right now you think she is the only one in the world, but trust me man, you are going to encounter many, many more throughout your life. You will, and I dont care what you say, you will. DO NOT leave the beach man, dont do it. I dont care how fine she is. Let her come to you. You will spend the rest of your life regretting it if you leave for this one.
