There you go bucko, when there's no waves, drink and smoke a ton of weed. And wank off a few times a day. It'll get you through for a couple of weeks.
Alright now, that we're on the topic, who's surfed drunk and did anything good/bad come out of it? I'll start off... so a couple of summers ago, my friend had his first joose before we decided to paddle out. He must've been 16. About 10minutes into it a wave slapped him across the face causing him to blow chunks everywhere. Then like 20 minutes later he got called outta the water and written a citation by the police for being in the no surf zone. Officer didn't know about the alcohol luckily. Way i see it, that was his punishment for trying to surf a crowded summer day after drinking.
I went surfing hungover. but it wasnt the typical hangover... It was a rum hangover, full on drink frest the night before at a friends wedding. got to sleep around 5am, and was just a complete mess. I thought going out into waisthigh surf would cure me. I couldnt balance for my life and went down on every wave I tried for. Then I thought I saw a fin and got out. lol.
I went on a windy at the beginning of swell. I was drunk. I had a 9ft stewart and as I was walking on the sandbar to get out past the break a gust of wind got beneath the board. It smacked me on the chin and knocked the sh!t out of me. My chin split open and bled really bad thanks to the alcohol. I ended up at the hospital with 7 stitches which kept me out of the water for 2 weeks. Moral of the story is to hold on to your board while drinking and surfing.
ive had a rum hangover they suck. when i was in the dominican republic last year for my spring break me and my sister and her friend would go out every night get totally drunk and then we would wake up every morning to surf for a few hours. and it was miserable surfing while hungover i will never do it again.
Ive surfed hungover a couple times, and honestly, it cured my hangover. I guess cold water tends to do that.
I know guys who would drink a 6 pack and paddle out to outer reefs. I would sit in the car and sip on a 22oz. silver bullet just to get the jitters out and loosen up. Always helps to have a cooler in the trunk when you're surfing solo at a localized spot. you make friends real quick.
I skiied drunk and high yesterday in a blinding snowstorm... No injuries to report... I was lucky and also in a groove.
I don't know about you guys but i think surfing is the best hang over helper out there. i give surf lessons every morning in the summer 8am sharp, I get there looking/feeling like hell, and within 5 minutes of the lesson i feel like a million bucks. I never surfed wasted, i have before with a 6pack down, It wasn't bad.
i like a good beer buzz from time to time before I paddle out. Usually end up burning the booze off pretty quick. kind of like rocket fuel i guess. never really surfed full on drunk.... at least i don't remember if i did. That's the irish in me.
I don't like surfing wasted, but it's fun to surf with a pretty good buzz when the waves are just ok, it's summer time, hanging with friends on the beach, late in the day... especially if there are people in your group actually drunk and don't surf--best time to talk someone into trying it out. Endless laughs for everybody.
i surfed hungover a lot in the past. the cold water definetly helps and gets rid of it. I usually chug 2-3 cups of water before I go out with a small bite to eat and after the session I am good to go, along with a nap, and more food...and maybe some advil and ice water
Where I live drinking and surfing go hand in hand. The post or pre surf beer in the parking lot is a rite of passage for the local crew and an honor for the white boy transplant. I try to avoid the pre-surf beer but sometimes you just can't. When the local heavy says "have a beer before you paddle out" you have a beer(s). Or this weekend surfed the early afternoon session... drank my part of an 18er in the parking lot... realized I was too trashed to get home... had to do the PM session to sober up... put a whole new spin on surfing. 3-4 ft barreling waves on a full tide. Geeking every time I took off on a wave or every paddle out with my buddies. Luckily we had the conditions wired from our 3 hr session earlier and it didn't turn out to be the flail fest I had anticipated. Awesome but probably won't try to do that one again.
Ive surfed hungover many of times surfed hungover as HELL during hurricane Igor in Rhodie head and a half to double overhead. Wasnt one of my greatest ideas. took a few beatings that day.
Surfing with a hangover doesn't sound fun at all. Surfing drunk sounds like a pretty dangerous move if you ask me. The ocean doesn't take kindly to overconfidence.
it gets me stoked to paddle out on a nice clean chest high day after killing half a bottle of rum, hell after killing some rum i paddle out at night for a few waves and have the time of my life
my limit is a few before a surf, mostly 2-3 if I got the rest of the day to chill. Surfing with one other guy at Goat Island ES Oahu. It's a wooded area and pretty much not visible from the road. And these locals sitting in a truck kept eyeing us as we were getting our boards out. I thought for sure we were in the wrong place and situation was gonna get worse. Big Samoan guy walks toward our truck and more or less tells us to come over and have a beer. I wasn't gonna argue with the guy and 1 beer sounded good. Fast forward 30 minutes later my friend and I had put away about a 12 pack of their ice cold Budweiser. Island life is the best bet you're stoked to be there.
Oh man Trump Marina...........four to five hours........head over to States or Crystals.........smoke butts with the homies on the boards.....Paddle out.........If you are more than buzzed, you are going to have a BAD time surfing....But if the water is cold it will sober you up a bit.....And yes cold water will make your hangover much better. One time hahaha I nodded out in the water....fell right of my board and came to in the water. Yeah......Chasing seagulls is great when you are inebriated.......Get all low on cloudy summer days and just walk the water's edge....give weird looks to the beach sitters......do a homeless-like stroll down the beach..Give them something to look at. Don't care what people think........Be a show......Dudes, remember some day you'll be at your death bed, and you'll think back......HAVE MEMORIES....GOOD TIMES........Be different. You don't have to sit at a desk staring at a computer screen all day. Remember some of y'all follow patterns, you don't have to have kids and families.....it's not scripted. Be free if you want........drink cheap vodka. I'm not advocating this but opiates will completely cure your hangover. Gone......
