New Year's Resolutions

How are you going to make 2020 a better surfing year?

Here's a list for my 69th year.
* Worry less about skills and just have fun!
* Travel up to Blackpoint Beach for some of those unridden lefts.
* Get a photo or video that makes me look like a hero. :lol:

Those sound like good resolutions, that left is very inviting!

I haven't put enough thought into mine, but maybe:
  • Keep searching for barrels
  • Practicing ocean swimming and bodysurfing
  • Always have fun!

I'm probably forgetting some things :lol:

Retire
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

I will be able to pick and chose when I go which will likely be close to every day

BoMan, you must be planning for the future. There's no way you're 69. If you are, then I want to be like you.

I think my main surf resolution is to appreciate the skills I've developed and enjoy each session, while still trying to improve.

If you saw a close up you'd rethink that. :lol:

Dude awesome! I retired a couple years ago and it's the best. I hope you pull it off. The market is great right now
