Does everybody actually surf here?

[Hazy_daze]

I was just wondering if everyone here actually surfs or has surfed before?
Or do some people here skate/skimboard or do something but surf?Obviously you'l get the kooks on here that just wanna have first-hand knowledge on how to use the surf 'lingo' in speech so they can go impress their mates, (Ouch! You can tell kooks arent my favourite people right now) but I was just comtemplating if anybody on here actually thinks as watersports (mostly surfing) as their 'hobby'.
I reckon about 80% of peeps here actually surf.
How often do you surf?
Wow this message is scatty with a lot of questions, apologies! Its been a looong week

<--- Tis me


Get out as often as I can which at uni is usally 2-3 times a week, when i'm back home pretty much everyday.

[namino tsume]

I surf as my life, not a hobby. ... I also surf as much as i can... which sadly isnt enough.

[Phil]

twice a week depends on how good the waves are i guess, im about an hours drive from north devon would surf every day if it was on my door step

i guess surfing is a hobby i just love the ocean i do alot of diving and swiming etc so i guess to me its another way of enjoying some thing i love

[namino tsume]

I live 3 hours, 2 1/2 with no traffic, i go mabye twice a month, three times if it good. =/

[deathfrog]

I live about 3 hours away from crap waves. TEXAS SUCKS, DON'T ANYONE MOVE HERE!

but yea, california is much better... I miss laguna... I mabie go once a month if my parents feel like taking me.

I get at least five surfs a week. Smetimes twice a day during the week (yay for dawnies) if conditions permit, and a couple a day in the weekends.
(I live over the road from my local)...

! do you want to swap lives please brent? i surf um, 3/4 times a year (for around a or 2 each). usually with a coupla weekend or half terms extra here and there. its not nearly enough, surfing is my life. buit i live 4 1/2 hors from the sea on a good day. im planning on going to sixth form in devon tho so its only 2 years till i can go surf whenever i like. and ill get a car too. and be broke as a broke thing.

[RoxySurf]

i try to go every Sat. but my sched doesnt permit that So i usually go twice-three times a month which is not enough but i'm grateful for it!

[little waves]

surf as often as i can/ usually weekends and evenings before the sun goes down, maybe twice a week. i live about an hour from surfable waves.

[nz girl]

dear brent
you surf excessively. have you considered therapy? nah kidding i'm jelous. i surf about once or twice a week as its hard to find the time. bring on summer.....

[deathfrog]

aiim jealous of most people here, they got surfable waves

agian, if you like the ocean, never move to texas.

[Brent]

But did you know (rubbin salt in here)...the local city council is building an artifical surfing reef 250 meters DIRECTLY off shore from my apartment. Yep, I'm looking out the window now at the four buoys that mark where it's going to go. Construction starts within a month or so.....These things are pretty rare world-wide so I'll post photos so you can see what's going on when it starts.

Ironically, I am a planner for this very same city council (seriously naughty conflict of interest with that job...but who gives a xxxxx right?).
Actually, I doubt I'll surf it much, it'll be a mosh-pit of posers & wannabe aerial artists. Perhaps dawnies...but the best thing about it is it'll divert attention from the various breaks up & down the beach.

[Brent]

Oh forgot to mention NZ Girl, this is why I said relationships & surfing don't mix. Perhaps if I spent more recreational time on dry land....
*smirk*

[PapaW]

I don't know about that Brent, If your other half surfs as well then its not a problem :D

your not the only one.... Cam.warmwinds.com Thats what i usually surf after three hours in a car.

[Broosta]

I surf as often as possible, which ends up being about probs less than 1/week. Here we can only surf at top half of the tide most of the time so that with work commitments and the f off great sand bank in the North Sea stopping swells means its not ideal really! We get a swell for maybe 2-3 days if we're lucky so gotta double whammy it each day, then its flat for 5 weeks or so .
Bassically when there's waves the rest of life gets put on hold - gotta get the priorities sorted properly .

[CheeZee]

" Yep " ...in my lil' world ...i surf each and everyday !!

even when im not surfing , im surfing

" and last week my lil'man brought me a 'finger surfer' .... so now we have surf comps when he's in the bath
