New member here and just wanted to drop in and say hi..... I haven't surfed since I was younger (18-19) but have been itching for it bad this year So at age 36 I go by and pick up a mini mal to give it a go again. Hit the break for the first time yesterday (Sat) morning at daybreak (6am) and only had about 30 minutes of barely ridable surf in the 5 hrs I stayed out so I didn't even get the chance to try and catch anything but man it felt good to just be out in the water on a board again! So this morning I hit the break again and lo and behold we have waves Nothing big but at least it's fairly clean and ridable (between knee and waist high at best) So I hit the water and just cruise in a few times laying down getting the feel of the waves... Then I eat it a few times trying to find my center standing after all these years I eventually get up on the board and ride a wave or 2 then the waves die It's cool though I had a blast and it felt great to actually get up on a wave after all these years! One thing for sure, I won't be stopping again anytime soon! Looking forward to hanging here a bit and getting to know you guys! Oh yea, in case anyone was wondering, I was at Ocean Isle, NC....
Congrate on catching a wave!!! Its so addictive, I'm hooked. Hoping for some nice surf this weekend but it doesn't look like it gonna happen. Goodluck on your furture surfing adventures.
Thanks for the replies! Felly, Don't lose hope. Looks to me like like late Saturday evening and Sunday could be the best we've had in a few weeks.... It was showing flat last night but they're calling for 4-5 ft now That's not too bad for summer surf here... Poseidon's a pretty cool dude maybe he'll look out for us I'm heading out in a bit to try to catch what little rolls in this evening... It's supposed to pick up some and Salty's surf cam seems to show that since this morning. Peace!
