I've been surfing for many years and often get to the beach (after checking cams and reports and buoys, etc) and wish I brought a different board.
As long as you have racks and surf stickers on your car and some facial growth and $80 Billabong shorts you'll feel like a pro. Don't sweat it.
that would include you, ****ing noob. go finger surf your imaginary BIC board from your cubical desk after you crunch numbers on internet forums. OR you could go buy some more used wetsuits of craigslist and make some more trendy wetsuit lap top bags...that would just be so swell (with a lisp)...get it? swell..? jokes
i remember for Katia swell a few days left over i should have brought my true shortboard vs. my lost motivator but the motivator was still really fun at shoulder high offshore winds. this was the session which enticed me to bring both boards regardless of the cams and report from then on.
woah, what an insightful post. you are obviously an expert. yesterday i took my 5'10 but the tide was too much for such a short period swell. lucky i had the longboard stashed in my ride.
Yeah, that was a completely ridiculous post you are referring too!.... its not like I showed up with a boogie board and a snorkel!!! lol.
Lots of hate for no apparent reason... Defending kielsun; doesn't matter if he's a noob or a seasoned boarder, anyone who is not sponsored or paid that is involved in ANY sport is an amateur.Think of college sports. doesn't mean there aren't good surfers posting here, but I doubt (m)any pros are. Let the hate begin anew...
Great point, lots of good surfers on here and all around the world who aren't "pro" or "sponsored" and who really cares who's pro / ammy anyways. Surfing to me isn't about competition, it's about a way of life, two totally different things IMO.
I hear being a douche on internet forums is pretty trendy, too. You must be a really nice, nay, swell, person. FYI, I don't work at a cubical or ride a BIC. Oh, and the old wetsuit was mine and not from Craigslist. But other than being wrong about that stuff you're right on! Maybe you should go play the lotto or something. I think today might be your day. Good luck!
