Surfing Waves

When going on surf trips, how many of you guys go at the same time? Is wax commonly shared among your mates? How about the board? Do you guys share boards?

Surf Trips: Anywhere between 2 and 6 depends. Tend to meet up rather than travel together.
Share Wax: Of course provided its the same as you use anyway.
Share Boards: When it drops right off I lend my carpet to Essex and use my log.

Strange questions . .why do you ask.

Some people don't bring their own boards, and prefer to borrow your extra boards(they don't rent). And for wax, some don't really bring it. They just ask for some. Was just wondering if people like this are common in other groups.

Not what you call a 'surf buddy' just a 'beach leech'.

Perfect term! Well, having no money is their reason for being a leech. You tend to tolerate it at first, but when the borrowed board gets a lot of dings afterwards, it gets pretty frustrating...

Own wax - selection of boards - fav. shortboards (very) mostly kept to the owners - treasured possesions !

We usually go 5 to 6 friends for surf trips.we really enjoy it.its good topic in this forum.

yeah happy with mates riding my boards and useing wax share share alike lol

Sharing wax - sounds well dodgy!!...

Friends are friends, if they aren't that well off and they are a good friend then lend them your board. I have 12 boards and loan mine all the time, though I don't loan my favorites LOL

Around 5 person is ok and quite satisfying.. About the board, it's better to have atleast 2 or 3 boards for a group of 5 persons. Although the other 2 may borrow but I believe it will be just enough to enjoy!

we are actually the 5 guy with 2 females tell me tips regarding this surf travel.

Go enter your phrase " Beach Leech " into the " urban dictionary dot com " !

If I go with my business I'll credit the terminology to you .
