Armchair Surfer or Not?

[myate]

Sat & sun throughout winter. When clock changes I'll be in most evenings aswell (tide & conditions depending!).

And i'm trying to plan my life around living by the surf, which means having to sacrifice water time until then....

yep same here. Need to be able to quit this stupid day job but I have to qualify before I can do that. The thought of that is helping me go without surf at the moment!!

3 kids......demanding job......baseball coach....soccer....twice a week, unless ripping, then I ditch work some.
Time change might add a few sessions.

Once a year, vacation, twice a day for seven days, tropical goodness.
I love vacay.

Must admit, i dont surf often enough , too many other things to do !! Not all of us are lucky to live right by the Ocean, if i did i would surf everyday !!!

[garbarrage]

try getting out once a week and have been fairly religious about it... you'd think i'd be getting better... oh well!

also seems like the swell's usually against me... watch incredible forecasts all week on t'internet then watch it die at the weekend. i'll go out in anything tho... if it'll carry me i'm there!

more of a moan than an excuse.

i surf just about everyday unless its flater than flat or just too stormy. Then again i live basically on the beach

Your lifestyle is almost identical to mine....2 kids demanding job, coaching baseball and soccer (4x a week). Live 3 hrs from beach, I'll ditch work 2-3 times when water temps are above 60 F. and if I take a 7 day vacation to a beach destination, 1-2 sessions a day most days of vacation. That's about once every other year. So really I fall into the 5-10 times a year" catagory if there was one.

Should I be jealous Jethro?!

well...er...um....I guess if he comes with a surfboard, YES!!

Actually I should have said "an english bloke and nice caring good female friend of his".....

I would go nuts if I had it that way.

My twice a week is my surf count, even with all the BS. My big dream in life is when my boy wakes me up at five am and says "get up it ripping" Then my surf count will start the other way.

Bub I pity your 3 hour drive as well. Keep the faith. Peace.

lol!

Thanks to you I can now say that the phrase "weekend warrior" applies to me twice!

As often as possible. Now with the time change, more often! Always surf all weekend, job is now 8:30 to 5:00 so it's glass off time! Used to work from 12:30 until 9:00 p.m., so I surfed in the a.m. Generally get out 3 or 4 times a week, that's days, not sessions.
