You know you're a surfer when..

you know you are a surfer when you shut the hell up about and just surf with respect for the ocean

 

you know you're a surfer when you party until 3am and wake up at 5am for dawn patrol

 

Ha I was gonna say when you tell your friends you're either not coming out, or not drinking at all because you know you're getting up at 5am.

 

...peeing on yourself to keep warm is perfectly acceptable

 

a shark eats your arm and dont quit

 

You know you're an east coast surfer when you wake up at 4 am for first light when the forecast is 3-4 ft @ 7 seconds.

 

^ Haha done that many a time. You know you're a surfer when you are in the water, nothing else in the entire world matters except the next wave. ( O and those damn SUP guys snaking everybody!)

 

you know you're a surfer when

The only time you train is when the waves are flat, and the only reason you train is to be in shape for when it's not flat.

The only places you'll consider vacationing are those with good waves.

You get skunked and your optimism continues to tell you that next time will be better.

You choose your vehicle by how capable of carrying your quiver and it is, and how well it handles driving on the beach.

You dream about your all time waves consistently and vividly for years and remember exactly where you were and when you were there.

 

when you miss haning out with your friends because you surfed till dark and they were tired of waiting for you to get your @$$ out of the water.

 

You know you're an east coast surfer when you wake up at 4 am for first light when the forecast is 3-4 ft @ 7 seconds.

I wake up at 5am for 2-3 ft haha Love the dawn patrols
