dude i live in VA beach and you are crazy if you going to cross the bay on a jet ski with another dude on back to surf that asking for trouble if it big enough for island to break with that kinda size the bay is going to be rough
that's not crazy. If you've done your homework and think you've got the experience/skill, don't listen to people, just do it. I just got back from a trip to San diego, my boy out there routinely takes his waverunner 20-30 miles out spearfishing at kelp paddies, he even drove it to Catalina Island.
Who cares? Considering how HARDCORE you are who could keep up with you? hahahahhahaha Seriously though this post is awful and hardly deserved a response let alone the 3 pages of douchery that proceed it. Of course if I were stuck in a waveless wasteland in VA an hour from crappy VA Beach crap surf I'd happily surf crap too, when I got the chance to of course. My advice to you would be to shut up and enjoy the serenity your affinity for crap surf affords you and save the whining for your wife.
Yo billabong, i dont drive across the bay, theres a launch real close by to fishermans, the only thing is wind restrictions on the bay bridge tunnel, that would be the only reason to go across the bay, about 16 miles, takes a little over an hour, longer if its rough.
Simple. Move. Talk your wife into it, look for another job or a transfer if possible. I've done that with my girl, it's possible. There are two types of surfers. Ones who do it in thier free time, and those who let thier lives revolve around not only riding waves, but the sea itself. Don't get me wrong, I have due respect for both. Choose which one you are and if it's the latter, then start making the steps to make it happen. It's all about placement. It may take awhile and carry some consequences, but if it's who you are, it's the right decision. And the further away from citys you are the less drama you have to deal with. There are many lost people who live on the shore, and Dora definately still lives, but he is nothing compared to the shady side of the metropolitan. Get outta that hellhole.
Yea dude Rudee is like a good 30 miles or so from fishermans that would take like 3 hours over the open ocean, where i launch its like a 5 minute drive on the jetski to the break.
