I'm the guy who is pushing 60 that you see at springmaid usually in the morning, I respect the surfers and give them lots of room. I have never had any problems. With the small stuff you have no choice but catch the inside. I have found that durning the week is better, no so many kids in the water to run over. If you really want to boogie try Makapuu it will scare the hell out of you. See you Sat
It's not about the money considering a descent bodyboard w/ stringers runs $200+ then a leash and fins... your right into surfboard price territory. Not to mention; wether you surf or bodyboard, a trip to central america or HI would cost the same.
Will do!! I ride am Empire Rising Bull (for now) and my roomates are both on Number 6's (icon goliathe, and Landlord remix contoured) really nice boards Hopefully this weekend we get a nice little something out there. Last sunday was alot of fun, we went to 65th street and paddled out for about 4 hours. There was a descent crowd and no one seemed to mind the three of us out there. Anymore info on the SC governers cup would be excellent, I'd like to start entering events ASAP and plan on entering next years USBA pro at jenks in NJ.
hey dont dis 81st we always surf there. There are usually good waves there and not too many tourist we all share waves just dont swim out in front of us. about a month ago we were out in the line up for about a hour when all of the sudden boggie boarders swam out in front of us. we got pretty mad and where talking about how the waves were gonna smash him and that he was pretty dumb for being out there. so he paddled away. we share waves but dont abuse the right. have a good day guys and just share the waves.
hey peoples, so ive never been to myrtle beach, OC is my place, i'm 15 and i bodyboard. i not the best, but i do know how to ride correctly. i also am in the process of learning how to surf which is a whole different ball game for me. lol if anyone has any tips on the best/quietest places to go where i wont be bothered, i'd appreciate it. thanks
Etiquette Every sport has rules. Many rules are unspoken, so allow me to clarify. When I started out surfing 16 years ago I wish someone would have shown me the "right of way". You are more likely to enjoy the sport and your time in the water if you follow the rules. T here is nothing wrong or aggressive about POLITELY telling someone the rules in the lineup. Don't be the punk that yells at someone for snaking or dropping in. Fun and safety is what is most important. Please follow this link for surfing etiquette. http://www.nesurf.com/Articles/Etiquette/etiquette.html Thanks and please pass the word. Josh
Thanks for the link, good info and pictures. I live in Charleston and surf out at Folly Beach, but we never go to any of the "surf spots". We go to a spot and there is hardly ever other surfers out there and very few people in the water, great place for newbie surfers like myself.
