who surfs?

Nice!

 

Supposed to be more on Monday.

 

I cant wait, seems like we have had a long flat spell. need some winter surf to start coming in!!

 

I read 5-6' worth of swell

 

I just started back in April and I surfed through the summer and early fall. I was thinking about getting a winter wetsuit and keep it up through the winter in Ocean City, MD...but the wife doesn't want me to spend the money and make the 3 hour trip to Ocean City all the time. So I'm thinking of snowboarding through the winter instead, and then surfing again in the spring. Anybody here do that? Snowboard in the winter instead of surf?

 

Shark Attack at Marina State Beach! The guy was lucky, only arm and neck wounds, and he'll walk away. 7 am, he was one of the first out. I saw the ambulances and firetruck when I pulled up, but I thought it was a fisherman gone crazy, nope. Gnar-gnar! (I can say that because this is a 'who surfs' thread).

 

that guy was super lucky... did you still paddle out??

 

I went to the next break down (at the poop factory), and tried to forget it. More importantly, I'm trying to make sure my wife doesn't hear about it! I'll be paddling out at Marina today, I think.

I just got home from Namotu, place is sick, I surf and kite surf. Cheers-

 

Nice little Memorial Day wknd session with the GoPro. Cropped a few stills out of the video........nothing epic but it beats nothing by a long shot.

 

Awesome pics. Im hoping to get out this afternoon, but its been so windy here. I just picked up a 7'2" fun sized board and I have yet to take it out. So I'm gonna brave the wind this afternoon and take it out.

 

Cool, I have a 7'4" that seems like a short board compared to the 9'6" log the GoPro is stuck to. I feel riding the longboard makes me seem better when I get on the other one. So much easier to maneuver. I like them both tho for different reasons.

 

Oh same here. I feel really good on my longboard, then I get on shorter boards and its like I never surfed before. Plus I'm taller at 6'3" so its a pain in the ass for me trying to stand up on shorter boards. I have limbs flying everywhere.

 

Oh, I meant easier to maneuver the 7'4" around so I feel like I'm better on it. I don't feel in control of the longboard, more like I'm just along for the ride where it wants to take me to a certain degree.....and yes, anything much shorter is an exercise in hatred of not being the smaller size I once was.

 

I think I know that spot. It's the one where people keep getting scared out of the water by great whites like once a month!

new guy here.
