I retired a few years ago. I am 63 years old and about 225 lbs. Was athletic when younger but got SOFT with age. I took up the guitar 1.5 years ago. This taught me that while I may never be great at a particular activity, I can improve. That improvement is where the fun is for me. I got up on a board when I was young with no problem, but it has been a long time. I bought a used long board and a wetsuit. Looking forward to being the worst surfer on the beach this spring.
I was a computer guy and I can remember the awe people experienced when I taught them how to first connect to the Internet. The smiles on their faces! Well that is what I am looking for when I catch my first wave.
