I don't know how old you are Braap but I'm 45 and fair weather friends become more the norm than the exception unfortunately. When I split with my ex I left her the house, took my name off the joint account, and hit the re-set button on my life. I thought I'd have friends help me out but they ran and hid and I became basically homeless, living out of my van (windowless, white) but had plenty of work so after a couple of months was in a small cottage just a stones throw from my favorite breaks. I was always the guy with a couch and a cold beer for someone in some **** but that invite has been whittled down. Some of your buddies may have legite excuses, and the others , well, now you know.
i think a lot of us have been though that, but you know what at the end of the day when you got some cold beer, a bed , and some sicks waves the women will always come. didnt the duke say something like that? maybe it was eddie.
when my wife was threatening my marriage, kids and my house! I was truly thinking, at least ill have my board! even though I have miles to go when it comes to really shredding, the fun of surfing kept my mental state afloat. I think!
yeahhh dawgg see what i mean whether its doh or double over ancle...well maybe not doa...but its a good place to tune away and escape the day.
