    So I've been starved of good waves in Maine this summer. Literally anke high for months now. We got a bit of good stuff but it lasted a day at best and even still it was weird chest high wind swells. Winters coming !

    I've been able to get on the water and have almost as much fun as surfing with my hobie 16. Sailed that catamaran 15 miles from Maine to New Hampshirs last week with some excellent off shore wind ... Here's a video to show how fun cat sailing really is and how it helps me accept the fact that there's no waves to surf on a nice summer afternoon.

    Brah, this same thread ain't even buried in the archives. It was from a couple weeks ago. Dig it up. Was an enjoyable one and many different posters chimed in.

    We did a 15 mile canoe trip on the Santa Fe river last week. We went by about 8 or 9 springs and paddled into Poe, Lilly, Blue, and Ginnie springs and snorkled. Only saw one small gator but the scenery was great and there wasn't anybody on the river being a weekday.`Good times.

    Last year I did a 90 mile canoe trip on the Allagash waterway in Northern Maine.

    I usually work on the golf game or the honey do list. I used to go on motorcycle trips, before I sold my bike. Never, ever, for any reason, sell your bike.

    I pack up the Tahoe, strap the SUP to the roof, head to Fort Desoto Park, setup a canopy tent, cooler full of beer, water and food, a few tightly rolled pieces of paper stuffed with magic, fishing poles, and live skrimps.

    I'll paddle as far as I can on the SUP to stay in shape and i'll even bring a fishing pole out there with me to catch some fish while all the kayakers gawk at me and ask me how hard it is to stand on that thing, and to catch fish without falling. It's really fun actually, I just stuff a handful of skrimp in the handle of the board with a little bit of water, so they stay feisty for a while and not go stiff. I'm just waiting for the day I snag a nice size shark and get towed around for a while... that would be epic!

    I'd sell the ole lady before I sold my bike.
    On topic: I have plenty to do whether it's flat or not. My roof is still leaking post-Sandy (b!tch) so I'm constantly patching (not enough money for a full replacement), picking up dog sh!t, working 2 jobs, coaching my kid's sports teams, etc, etc
    Free time when it's flat: riding the Harley, fishing, target shooting, drinking Jack Daniels, and swimming.

    Hang out downtown, in a small Jersey town, late at night. Go to the local 7-11, wearing a ski mask, and pace around outside for a minute. Then go inside and look at magazines and glance over at the clerk......works best in warm weather

    Hang out with lostSoul, don't confuse him with another dude on here......similar handles, at Al's Adult World located on Rt 29 in Neptune, NJ. Where'd that dude go by the way?

    Grab your buds and a camera and videotape each other getting kicked in the testicles. Fall off of things. Have big dreams of becoming the new Jackass guys despite the fact that EVERYONE has a camera these days and does the SAME thing. Don't get creative, do the same thing over and over......

    Post on SWELLINFO.COM. Act like an expert despite a lack of dedication and experience. Hassle people. Insult their mommas and question their sexuality.

    Use racial slurs, in public, and then go to counseling. " So what word did you use....hmmmm and how do you think they feel aboot that......hmmmm what were you feeling when you said this......."

    Grab your board and hop a freight train to Wilmington, NC. Try and find Dlouren and RobG. See if they'll let you camp in their yard. Then when you get acclimated, find Erock. Then drink beer, by the fireside, and talk philosophically. Try and mate with Janelle Evans from Teen Mom 2

    Hold a FREE TREVOLUTION rally in front of the courthouse down there. Show your support for drunken skateboarders everywhere.

    Then head south, and hook-up with Mr. Brewengineer. Become his understudy/intern. Learn science and the art of brewing. Then create your own brew. Sell your company to Anhieser Bush and move to Easter Island. Make sure you throw Brewengineer a few bucks.

    Get the Farrah Abraham(Teen Mom 1) porn video and spend a romatic day with yourself.

    Go to the nearest big city. Then go to the area where all the white, suburban, homeless kids stay - usually right on the edge of the open commerce areas. Find a spot, and slowly drink two pints of vodka and see where you end up.

    Thank you for this.

    Let me know if you ever catch that freight train to Wilmington. First beer is on me at Fat Pelican!

    I've been selling stuff on craigslist cause money is tight at the moment. (Do good in high school kiddies, so you don't have to be a "bass player" for a living). It's fun meeting kooky internet people and the risk of death is exhilarating.

    Hey are you a bass player ala Geddy Lee and Chris Squire?

    Or a Base player as in Nino Brown?

    Be careful meeting up with them Craigslist people even though you're doing the selling. Usually they advertise and rob people who come to buy. Like in Philly a few months ago some dudes from Williamstown went to buy an ATV, at like midnight, in West Oak Lane. They meet some dude standing on the corner and he wants the buyer to take a "walk" with him down an alley. Totally shadey, man. And that was the end of him.

    Kids, don't buy stuff off of Craigslist in West Oak Lane at midnight, and stay out of alleys.......

    You use your sup paddle as a live well? That sounds great

    Sorta, not the paddle, the handle / hole in the board that is between your feet while standing, it's used to carry the board but I use it as a live well too hahaha

    I'm like Geddy Lee without the money, in a tuxedo, at your cousin's wedding.
