you know you surf when???

When you intend to buy a pet rat just so you can surf vicariously through a rodent.

When you check the live bouy updates, SI forecast update at 6am, 12pm, 6pm, and 12pm, and check Surfline update after dinner, pull up the cams to all of your spots, and check the weather app on your phone constantly, being sure to not miss a window of opportunity for surfable conditions or to avoid wasting the time of getting ready and heading out only to turn back around and go home.

 

And then there is always those times where despite all available data suggesting it's not worth going out, still try going out only to find out you should of trusted the data. Then other times having completely opposite results and remembering why you should just go and not worry about the data.

 

Would you snake a rat?

Great, now all the young rats will want to paddle out.

 

You know you surf when you paddle out. Everything else is bs!

 

That's friggin' awesome! I don't see any of them paddling. Are they getting towed in by a mini-ski?

 

when you waste 2 minutes of your life watching the rat video

 

....when you think any vacation that doesn't at least have the potential for surf is a complete waste of time and money.

 

The worst

 

WTF!?!? I think anyone who tosses an animal, rodent, etc on a surfboard is an a$$hole

 

when you bench like 375 and drive a camaro to the beach

 

when you bring 17 boards to the spot, lay them out with fin sets on top and then repeatedly look the waves then back at the boards, switch some fins around, look back at the 2 footers... back the boards, picking out the BEST setup for condish.

 

when you wear boardshorts to the store and around house while doing laundry cause theres nothing else to wear

 

when you have the tannest neck and wrists on your block

 

when you answer "CHYA BRAH" to everything, including "what time is it?"

 

when you consider men in grey suits while choosing a health care plan

 

when you fist pump after zig zaging on a (carver) skateboard through an intersection in the city like you just doggy doored out of cloudbreak

 

when a thread u started gets taken over by a towel. peace!

 

when you've been out surfing and come back to the forum and you feel like you've gone back in time.
