don't bring your problems to the ocean

Can't wait to see chucka-boo-boo's latex video on this topic...

 

why does that freak even have those masterbation dummys?

 

In the water is the place to get away from the problems. I paddle out and then get a feel for the oceans rythm. Being apprehensive and unsure of your purpose, the session will likely fail. Or, it could be the board.

 

I almost always paddle out in a good mood, but I have my days, always in the wrong place, can hardly catch sheet, etc. Then I have days that I paddle out and its like the universe connects. Catch everything I paddle for, always in the right place, etc. And surfing always helps clear my head, even on the bad days

 

Towel,

I know what you be sayin'...for me it's almost like this duality thing, bc I do bring my problemmes to the ocean...everything I carry with me on a daily basis. Thing is, once I get out there, boom, they're gone, or at least I have a place to temporarily hide from them. But I step back on to the sand with my perspective re-alignment("go ahead, just tell him, the liberator who destroyed my property has re-aligned my perception"), and feel like those problemmes are really insignificant...especially when compared to that last shack that let me out..

So even if those problemmes interfere with your rythm, performance, et al, I'm sure you still came out feeling better.

Acouple sessions ago there was this meathead Bostonian yelling, punching waves, and generally acting belligerent. disrespecting the ocean and ruining peoples' time. I wanted to swim him to the bottom. That's the type of problemme not to bring imo.

 

I dunno. I have good and bad sessions like everybody but I've never felt it was due to baggage I'm carrying along. When I go out everything else in the real world disappears for me and all I'm concerned with is the immediate task at hand. I don't intentionaly do this, it just happens that way for me. It is the one time that I truly live in the moment. Nothing else matters except the next wave.

 

Put some peroxide in there and let it hang out for a bit. Might help

seriously ?

kidding right?

 

Towel,

you, imho, are completely spot on to be weary of ibuprofen. While I can't speak to that drug, the LD50 profile for acetaminophen is rather sketchy, especially when compared to other 'dangerous drugs', I believe the same could be said for ibp...

 

Towlie,
Best thing about the ocean is you can bring your problems to the beach and they get washed a way for a while. Really any recreational activity does it. You can't solve them while your surfing but you can take a break from them. Sometimes while your surfing you come up with a solution that you wouldn't have.But most of those times you'll forget the solution before you get to act on it.. Either way, you going yesterday surfing helped you in some way. I know it.

Put a heating pad on your ear. If you want a weird trick fill a sock full of salt and throw it in the microwave and put that on your ear. Heat and salt will draw out the bad juju.

Over the winter sometimes my arms get this weird pain inside, I take ibuprofen and it's all good.

 

I try to avoidde non-recreational drugs if at all possible.

 

Words of wisdomme.

 

When it's big, I always say to myself; "thank you God for that which I am about to receive", then I paddle out with an empty mind. I usually enter the ocean with gratitude and thanks, even when it is dead flat.

Try white vinegar in the ear. It fizzes real good and kills everything. For me, it works better than HO. If you are a booger, an Advil liqu-gel is cool, but if you stand up surf, too much ibuprofen can effect your equilibrium if you are sensitive to meds like I am. I like the herbals.
