what would you do? (no money vs. no surf)

use plastic yo.....save the actual cash!

 

Feed your head and go get some...Theres plenty of time to save money when it's flat

 

go into debt and use the plastic...

 

post up where your at and see if you can hitch a ride for $20 from someone on here in the area

 

i'm gonna have to agree w/ what everyone else has said...use the plastic & get some waves. you'll be useless & cranky if you don't get some quality surf.

 

Cant take money with you when you Die . Go Surf and eat Ramen Noodles for a month

 

Ramen is no joke, i can live off that stuff.

 

just dont forget your vitamin c!

 

i always preferred pb&j when i was in my broke years...i'd eat that ##it for breakfast, lunch, & dinner some days...for weeks on end!

 

Haha dont worry i stock up on ramen and apples

 

in a way, i kinda miss those days & envy the O.P...nothing quite like making a midnight road trip to hatteras or somewhere, sleeping in your truck, waking up w/ the sunrise & being one of the first people in the line-up for a good swell.
enjoy that freedom while you have it...it goes away pretty quickly as life catches up.

 

I wouldn't worry about it til Friday. It's too far out to tell if the conditions are even gonna be good. If on Friday it looks like it's gonna be epic, go. If instead it looks like it's just big and closed out with an occasional make-able corner, I would wait for the next one.

 

Yeah I agree I too miss the day of living the life of a Pirate. No worries , just going with the flow and acting on a spontaneous ideas

Now I live like and I qoute Bear "Live like a inlander"

 

Go surf!!!!!!! You only live once

 

Been there many times around this time of year. Surf Surf Surf. Just be frugal. Share a ride. bring your own food. I make macaroni and mix in sweet potatoes and stuff. Watch the swell chart and pick the best day. Surfing fuels life and makes the job a whole lot easier. Better to walk with a calm smile on your face than be bummed. You can make it.

 

I feel your pain I lived and had a job 1 1/2 from the beach...not so much in distance as in Hampton Roads VA traffic. Surfing was a chore sometimes but I had to get in my sessions when it was good or decent or if I was really just jonesing. Save up the cash and take the work experience for a few years and use it to move on to something better or at least closer to the surf... 3 years of teaching low income in a little town where the biggest employer is a meat packing plant sucked. The only surfer for miles, I stuck out like a sore thumb...my co workers would break out the gay surf lingo that they learned from the Brady Bunch Hawaii Vacation episode every time they saw me...Ugh... but the experience has opened doors for me and now my job is so close to my home break I go home and get my board and surf during lunch...VICTORY! Hang in there till your break comes and get the waves whenever you can to keep you sane till then.

 

I moved to Michigan to go to school and only surfed 4 times in 4 years. Makes you question your own identity... who am I? What am I? I'd see my board leaning against the wall in the corner and be like, "I'm not a surfer." Bloody depressing, to say the least. So I took up mountain biking and got into it heavy. I found I could get a very similar feeling to surfing, flying through a single track, picking a line, and using every muscle and sense I had to make a perfect run. And you know it's perfect when you get into that sort of Zen state and can't even remember the moment when it's over.

So find a healthy substitute. Two hours to the beach needs to be saved for when you know it's good, and that' won't happen often enough to keep you fit... both physically and mentally.

Life changes... brings you back around. Don't fight it.

 

GO SURF. The weathers not going to be like this for long. Thing will work themself out.
