I was surfing in some decent sized groundswell a couple years back and got tossed head first off the wave and in to the abyss. When I came up, I realized that I lost my britches. Luckily I found em, and didn't have to go home stark naked. My buddies and I were drinking suds and talking about funny and crazy **** that has happened to us out in the water. Anybody ever have anything like that or worse happen to you?
An oldtimer who I surf with told us a crazy story. He was surfing with a buddy and they were tripping on lsd when all of a sudden, his buddy just started paddling out to sea. Dude paddled and paddled until he couldn't see him anymore and he was never heard from again. I can't verify the veracity of that tale, but damn dude, that's heavy.
When I was going to college in San Luis Obispo, CA (central coast), I used to see country folks from further inland walking along the beach in swim shorts, cowboy boots, and cowboy hats. That might be considered a "wardrobe malfunction" of sorts. This was in the 70s and long before all those redneck TV shows.
I got axed by a wave at Pipe and it ripped off my boardshorts. As you might know there is a bit of a crowd there. Like you, luckily I was able to find my shorts.
I've nearly lost my shorts a few times, luckily they only came untied and pulled down slightly, but not all the way. Trying to explain that to the cops on the way back would be fun. "Don't act like you're not impressed" as I pass by the tourons....
Got caught dropping a deuce in the dunes by two young hotties on Topsail Island. And yes, there is surf on Topsail outside the Surf City pier.
Didn't have my baggies with me, only a pair of gym shorts. Luckily it was in a wildlife refuge, so only the critters were laughing. Had to widen my stance every time a wave would break on my back so it wouldn't pull them down to my ankles. Have surfed on shrooms back in the day, but not naked. We were all laughing too much to catch many waves. I would not recommend it.
That's sick! I'd love to test my mettle at Pipeline someday. I've only watched in awe from the shore and then driven to Haleiwa where I wouldn't kill myself, or anyone else.
Matapalo CR, giant sneaker set came from nowhere. Lip hit me in the back while trying to duck dive. pulled trunks off but caught them with my toes. several more reamed me and the last one hit just outside me and blew me on the beach. I was nekkid but had my trunks in a gorilla grip with my toes.
