Guest drunken phil Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 ive seen bike, skate and snowboarding threads. maybe i missed the surfing thread but this shit rocks. i surf whenever i et the chance. it's relatively inexpensive, it's not illegal in some places, a good way to show your manly body off to them ladies and it's just an all around fun thing to do. living in nicaragua with the pacific ocean is great. uncrowded surf spots, sunny all year, warm water, and um... cheap weed(if i shouldnt say this i guess i'll have to edit it) and close to the city; no need for long, drawn out car rides. anyway i was just wondered if im an island on this one. i know that surfing culture, not nescesarily the actual sport(if you could call it thaT), has hit pop culture which does suck. i agree. http://topex.ucsd.edu/sandwell/surfing.jpeg'> http://www.nlnnet.com/gif/surfing.jpg'> http://freespace.virgin.net/leaf.ltd/bull-surfing.jpg'> ~PUkE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran_dumbs Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 .... I surf and body board... just thought that instead of making a whole new thread I'd come here. I have no surf oard at the moment so I am mainly bodyboarding. And that shit about surfing being inexpensive... BULLSHIT!! Boards around here cost upwards or 350 for a good board.

Guest Catch22 Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Yup surfing is some fun shit. Unfortunately I haven't been out in about 2 yrs. What kind of board do y'all have. I have a 6'3" channel islands. I was thinking of getting a long board but then I remembered I haven't surfed in 2 yrs so why spend the money.

dai Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 i went surfing today! gustav was right off the coast today, im talkin like 9-13 foot swells, straight barrels all the way down. it was so sick, best surf i've seen in awhile. it was so hard to get out, pourin down rain, and you had to duck dive deep as a bitch. the undertoe was nasty too. just walking to the water sucked...wet sand pelting against your body, it hurt like crazy, especially when you caught it in the eye. then the wind rips your board out of your hands. later on tonight we went back down there and smoked a blunt and walked the surf. i have to say, it's the most relaxing thing i've done in awhile, the ocean sounded awesome. http://www.gopbi.com/weather/special/storm/atlantic/gustav_3.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpent of the light Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 i haven't surfed in something like 4 years. :mad: i wanna go again. seriously though, i've never worn boots. always bare footed it. maybe the NE coast i'd think about boots, but where else do you need 'em?
