Being back in the frigid north of new england is making me fiend for that good ol' artic blast nor'easter swell. Its also got me sitting inside bored and wondering where I can surf thats colder, for cheap. Then I found this gem of a video and started looking at plane tickets. Round tirp from NYC to Moscow only $400 bones. Any takers when I get back from Costa in March? [video]http://www.surfermag.com/photos/kamchatka-russias-forbidden-peninsula/#f8455cc8fb[/video]
dude i dont even own one i got a 5/4/3 for if i travel up north but have yet to use more than a 4/3 here.
Ryan went to Iceland a little while back. Not sure what the airfare was. And they have huldufolk, elves. According to SJB, they will serve you coffee and pancakes if they think you're cool.
From what Ive seen Iceland is the easier option. Russia is huge, Their accessible coastline is not. Fly into Moscow and its like flying into Wichita x5000, head north and your in ice, head east and you have over a week of traveling. Kamchatka access is tough.
better have a lot of money, time, and a connection in the Russian military. a helicopter would be best to explore and surf. http://www.waytorussia.net/FarEast/Kamchatka/HowToTravel.html#
Here's the tread where Ryan7 went to Iceland. His camera goodies are always sweet. http://www.swellinfo.com/forum/showthread.php?24786-Cold&p=283063#post283063
I didnt watch the vid but I know that most of the kamatchka peninsula is closed off to all but local indigenous and scientists. When I was working on my first PhD. studying the average cock size of east Russian feral barn cats I had a chance to visit, and it was pretty sick. Bucket list of international destinations, in poorly thought out, fairly accurate order... 1. Japan 2. Nova Scotia 3. Ireland 4. Norway 5. Japan again 6. Japan again I am pretty much all set with sharky tropics. I like my women nordic or asian, and my waves frigid or asian.
Firstly, dude...you've gotta add Scotland to that list. Second: inquiring minds want to know the results of your studies on Russian Cat cocks.
LMAO! So U2B is a vet, animal doctor? Crawlin through frozen Russian barns with his calipers, chloroform, and a clipboard... That's dedication.
Nah, I'm no doctor. Mrs. Two Barrel's is a Grey's Anatomy junkie, and I am always hearing the show in the background of my life with these nonsensical voice over monologue whatevers about "what it means to be a surgeon", "as a surgeon, we are blah blah blah", "as surgeons", -----and all across America non-surgeons somehow identify with what it means to be a surgeon, and the trials and tribulations of hospital drama nonsense. And these characters have these ridiculous specialties---neo-natal surgeons, etc. So when I am with Mrs. Two Barrels and we meet people and they ask what I do, I say I am a surgeon. If they ask what type, I say "I am the worlds leading neo-natal urologist. I can cure ED in the first trimester" etc. Eventually I keep pursuing it and refusing to yield that I might be full of ****, and I will alienate people so that they wont be our couples-friend because "he is a psycho liar wierdo" and I dont have to do womanportant **** with other couples that want to do things other than get drunk in my living room.
Thanks, U2B. I really needed a good chortle. I was gettin too bummed in the other tread about race killin. Thanks.
Aw man, I was really looking forward to the Russian Cat cock results. I've had my own theories for years. FWIW, you should still consider adding Scotland to your list.
