I know this post is gonna frustrate the hell out of everyone who doesn't live by the sea, but here is my dilemma.... (woe is me).

I have 2 hours of surf time, which will commence directly after I finish writing this message.

Do I....

a) walk out of the door and surf on the beach that is a 59second walk away, but looks really choppy and blown out...

b) begin a 15 minute walk to another beach which is more sheltered and will boast cleaner surf...

??


Answers on a postcard. If you can guess which option I chose, you win a prize. :wink:

hmmm being a lazy ass myself hmmm .. is this kinda " against the babysitter clock ?! " .. cause i'd normally go for the 15 minute walk i reckon but if you really do only have an hour or so and 30-45 mins will be taken up having a wander then i'd go for blown out fun for an hour+ :D

lol.. gutted .. 59seconds away from mother natures water park .. gutted but bless ya :D

I reckon you went for B

if I only had 2 hours of surf time, I might probably for for A because
1. I am lazy, so walking 15 minutes is as good as walking for an hour
2. 15 minutes each way means it's really 1 1/2 hours' surfing time... not really enough anyway!

I'd go B myself; To me, an hour of quality surf is worth 3 hours of frustrating non-surf... That's how I see it... THough I do admit, I'm tempted to go along with the 'C' option too :D
Actually, I'll stick with B. What prize do we win if we're right? :lol:

Well.... without further ado, the winners of the 'what did I do surf competition' are....

*******S Boy.....and.....El Timmo*******

Congratulations...!

I am so ridiculously lazy at walking so I chose to amble to the blown out surf.

Special award also goes to Cheezee and Kitesurfer, but Cheezee changed his mind and thought I'd be getting myself a free boat ride (actually I have one in lieu but I'm saving it for a later date) and Kitesurfer was actually just thinking about Kitesurfing :? :)

Prizes - mmm... any suggestions?! :D
I'm sure with everyone's help I'll be able to give you both suitable rewards that can be delivered via an internet forum :? :D
