i remeber having a few drinks before surfing some 3' at low tide... it was alright but id rather be sober. to the guy who said surfing on pain killers is a good idea...stupid comment. those things will have you coming back for that feeling more times than not, and I dont believe people who say they can be done recreationally. Those are the people amid an ever increasing search for them and dangerous path of addiction. I never did them but have seen too many of my peers start doing those "recreationally" and not come back yet. in fact one of them is doing dope now.
It's amusing to read the varying styles of these posts. The dudes that are still partiers tell their stories with so much enthusiasm it makes being wasted seem epic. I miss those good old days, nothing seemed to matter other than having enough money for copious amounts of cheap beer.
