just curious to see if there is anyone with a decent amount of experience surfing. I’ve been a couple times but that never really took me too far. pretty much just learned to drop in, and no carving. But next semester I plan on getting out quite a bit since i’ll be 1.5 miles from the beach.
If you’ve been, say where and how many times.
And yes, I am making this thread at 5am. Ever since exam week i’ve been nocternal.
started surfing when i was 14. i obviously dont get out much anymore, but i was pretty serious about it. Learned to surf in long island. Yes we have nice beaches and u can usually catch some nice waves during any storm, or if the tide is right.
Ive riden in waves up to about an 8-9 foot face and as small as about ankle high.
if ur interested, i have a SICK 6’2" JC surfboard for sale. If u know surfing, you know that JC(John Carper Designs) are sick.
I’ve been surfing twice On Pacific Beach in San Diego. Took a lesson my first time. Just easy stuff on a long board. Small, already broken waves. It was a good time.
I’ve been bodyboarding there too and ventured farther out into the waves. I made it onto a wave perfect one time and droped down the face of the breaking wave. I can honestly say it was one of the coolest feelings of my life.
I think I would be a surfer if I llived near a surfing beach.
ill tell you right now, theres no better feeling in the world then dropping in on a wave and riding it out to the end.
sounds lame, but its something that u cant really explain. those ppl that have surfed know what im talking about.
seriously tho, you noobs need to be careful. ive been a strong swimmer all my life, i can still swim fast with little practice. the ocean is a dangerous place and its real easy to put urself in a seriously life threatening situation. oh and when u get hit in the head with a surfboard, or get sliced by a fin, it fucking hurts, and that leaves u in pain, in the middle of breaking sets getting slammed by breaking waves. either go out with a friend or surf where theres ppl around that may notice you get hurt.
for sure. the last time i went surfing, the friend i was out with got tossed by a wave, and went head first into the sand. got a pretty bad stinger. If i hadnt noticed him, he would have drowned right there.
