What's up people's ! So I'm no Pro, but I'm not some sorry rookie either... Either way I'm always looking for people to hang with or surf with, etc... My name is mickey and as long as you don't cut me off with your board, etc... than I won't either... Let's just have a good time. Speaking of, doesn't really look like the surf is much of anything today, with the side-shore winds. Looks like Thursday may look okay, depending on winds, again. I skydive as well, so I'm used to the winds not cooperating. Anyway I just wanted to Introduce myself. I'm from Va Beach originally, but just now getting into the Surf environment. Any tips are always helpful, b/c again I'll be the first to say I'm no Pro ! Surfs Up !
(So I'm no Pro, but I'm not some sorry rookie either......but just now getting into the Surf environment) Hmmmmm......
lol !! Sounds contradicting.. but last time I was at the beach, I saw a bunch of punks acting like they were badass and talking down to people... I'm just saying I'm aware of my surroundings, and I won't get in anyone's way.
dude, your sig by Leary is awesome. I had never heard it before, but I was watching a lecture by sam harris on "death and the present moment" on youtube the other day and one conclusion i formed afterwards was how there is no better example of living in the moment than being slotted in the green room! its so true! hmmm.. so timothy leary and I are on the same WAVElength.. VB guy looking for friends: if you twist one (up), they will come..
i'm sure you could find someone to share a bottle merlot with after a session. Hell, you might even be able to find someone to spoon with you on the beach while listening to john mayer during sunset. Who knows, you might get a chance to have a surfboard (or other things put up your ass). Best of luck to you finding a life partner.
If he didn't surf and still thought that, then I think we're really on to something! so the dude surfing chopes is in a higher state of conciousness than me at my local jetty? i'm cool with that.. maybe the closer to death you are, the better the time you're having?? we could ask nathan fletcher.. that code red **** was nutso.. I feel like those things are kind of contradictory, because doesn't total absorption in the moment have to be free of thought? (and/or planning) And isn't progress inevitable? ..I think I have gotten a little bit better almost every session for the last 20 years. so y'know, basically just, uh.. kritters, newbies, merlot and butt lovin.. ok then..
I mentioned this before... I call that a "Zen Moment." It doesn't happen every wave, or even every session. But occasionally I'll get a wave, and paddling back out, can't remember what just happened. That's perfection. That's what I chase every time I go for a surf.
