I just got back from San Diego. It’s so fucking rad there. I did tons of awesome shit and don’t have a single picture to show for it.

I went surfing, rock-climbing, sunburning, hiking, driving, partying, “fishing”.

The only thing that i wanted to do that i wasn’t able to was hang out with a bunch of awesome black people at a black person party…

Surfing is awesome and not too hard to get the hang of… but WTF why is the ocean so fucking SALTY… lighten up a bit…

I envy originalsin, rage87, hypeville and 95blackLS for their awesome geographic location.

Also… TONS of babes in San Diego… TONS.

That is all…

san dawg, i lived there for a brief spell. i blame alot of the sea life peeeeeeing in it.

5

newman, you ever snowboard or wake board? ive always wondered if surfing is at all similar? ive been wanting to try it for so long due to my style of boarding

San Diego Rocks! Weather is just too perfect all the time, hence the “sun tax”. people are super nice and all super happy all the time. just a great place to be. I would love to live there but it so expensive, I just get way better bang for my buck in Phoenix.

:lol:

surfing is the easiest of all the board sports, is what im told

9

i’ve never wakeboarded, but i have skated and snowboarded…

I think that surfing is the kind of thing that is simple to get GOOD at, but hard to be AWESOME at.

10

Meh, there are nicer buildings, architecturally, but that is pretty bad ass. I want to visit Dubai someday.

11

Aww… I miss California :frowning:

San Diego is so nice. Super expensive tho but everything is on the west coast tho.

I agree. Its not hard to balance and get the basics of surfing. Just doing more than that tho takes some serious skill.

12

Agreed on everything in OP. But there’s no black people in San Diego. Closest thing you can come is mexicans. Last time i was there, other than the Chargers team, I saw 2 black guys in 3 weeks.

13

False. i was there New Years Eve (12/31/06) and was at a house party that was 98% black people. Best NYE ever.

14

Whale Sperm. That’s why.

How was the surf there? I’m assuming you were on a >9ft Longboard.

15

lol 94blackls… its ok made me lol… i have never see the ocean… so i cant help you here … at least you got some sun

last i talked to sean sounds like they are having a good time out there

16

it was a longboard, i heard the short boards are harder, but i actually think i would do better with it…

surf seemed awesome…

17

Short boards are incredibly harder. You don’t float above the water on a short board since it doesn’t have to volume to displace enough water to keep you up. Therefore paddling is a lot harder, and they require much more balance and finesse when getting/staying up.

18

Wow. It must have been the entire city’s population of them.
Of course, I was in La Jolla and Mission Beach when I was there. Doesn’t seem like those would be the black 'hoods.

19

i was told it’s easier to paddle faster on a short board… I had trouble paddling fast enough sometimes…

lol…

its salt water. what do you think? -jay_g
