How long does it last?

Postby oldmansurfer » Wed Sep 03, 2014 5:23 pm

I had a really great day surfing a couple days ago. I was like a giddy schoolgirl for a while but now a couple days later it seems to be fading. So just wondering how long does the high last for all of you?
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Usually right up until the next time when I surf like Bambi on rollerskates :lol:
You'll probably find me surfing, but if not, I'll probably be in the photography studio

I haven't been this jazzed about a surf session in a while. I am making progress in the big scheme of things putting together maneuvers into an even flow of carving. Still a little weak and not so sure footed but improving and this is backside which I only catch on the average one backside wave for three times I go surfing. Not quite there by a bit but definitely not a beginner anymore. A few months ago I surfed backside and fell on my cutbacks and went off the wave on some of my top turns. This was a whole lot better than that. It was almost like I knew what I was doing except I know I don't LOL

Since I moved up to the Gold Coast (just before last christmas), I've improved dramatically, particularly in the last few months... except I only ever see rights (forehand) now!
I used to be a lot better on my backhand, but last night there was a (very small) A-frame peak so I could go left or right, and I discovered I can't surf left anymore :lol:

It only lasts until I get back to the car and realise I have 90 miles trip back home....

I need to migrate...
