not grom intro Hey y'all, I'm brand new to surfing, just been out a couple times (in Belmar, NJ) after taking a lesson at Eastern Lines. Bought a 3/2 ripcurl full suit from EL, which I hope will let me get out there a few more times. I just got a used 8' Ricky Carroll single-fin board which I hope will work out ok for me...it's pretty similar in shape/size to the rental boards I used. I'm a fit early 50s guy, 5' 10" and 165 lbs and a fairly decent swimmer, though I haven't swam much lately. Anyone surfing on Sundays in Belmar (or nearby) that won't mind a not-grom hangin' around semi-drowning, let me know. Will post pics of the RC, which cleaned up very nicely. I just gotta rewax it before I get out there. Thanks
hey bro, be sure to kill yourself this holiday season. definitely take a few people with you. your suite is too thin already. eastern lines in my world is cocaine from long island. best way to learn to surf is to stay home and post. try putting your face in boiling water. the end.
also your not a grom. you're in your 50s. you're just taking up space. welcome to webmd.swellinfo.suicidehotline.die.com
Duh! So grom is a young beginner, eh? Well, that ain't me...got one foot already in the grave, like many of you old Depends fillers i'm sure. Damn, I knew I shoulda bought a 4/3 suit! Thanks for the warm welcome, losers!
Dear goofysurfer, Welcome to swellinfo! Your always welcome here in my book- since you surf and represent the BELMAR. Don't let these other guys bother you- they are all just messing around. Yours truly Mr Belmar HEY guys- take it easy on the grom- he's from Belmar! One of our own!
Btw- just pretend your a grom. It will go better for you. Wait, shouldn't you be in school??? Oh yea it's Saturday
Your sensitivity is not a characteristic we admire, you can't stay here if you cry or whine. I think you should challenge someone to a bench off and since you already wear depends and have one foot in the grave maybe you could challenge one of the wahine's but let me warn you they are tough and you stand a chance of getting your $hit thrown in the water.
Good luck Gromps! Stating at 50, that's a big achievement. Are you ready for the BELMAR or is the "MAR" ready for you?
Gromps. I like that. Never too old to be a grom. If you don't want to buy a 4/3 just get a hooded thermal layer for under your wetsuite.
50+ is not a good age to get into surfing...it takes being in very good shape and decades of experience/knowledge to get any good at it. On the other hand, boogie boarding takes no skill and uses the legs to paddle...might want to try that, instead
way to make 95% of the forum upset. Ill just go ahead and post it for them. http://www.surfertoday.com/bodyboar...ompletes-50-years-in-the-bodyboarding-history See what Tom Said about him though?
