do you really like surfing that much?

[tomcat360]

most of us would kill our familys ( maybe thats just me )

umm....maybe a little extreme....

How about an exchange program?

[Milo]

Think you will find most uk surfers will take just about anything going and if it`s flat we will go in just to say we were in.

[mostyn]

exchange program Mmmmmm. how long are we talking about


this isa couple of pictures from my friend Phils wedding day. before ceremony. it was so flat , you could have walked on it. didnt stop us paddlin these fellas out for some tom foollery.

[bluesnowcone]

well a month with no surf i get angry and turn all green and hulk like

[bluesnowcone]

soon as i start ernin real money il being buyin myself a new board every month

[buckthis]

hawaiiSUCKSex, where do you go for a vacation?
you need some crosstraining activities, longboard skateboard? bicyling?
wakeboarding? kitesurfing? hopefully something that would keep you in shape for surfing, a couple months without surfing is not very good.

[surfery]

is it that i just dont like surfing that much or is my attitude about right? do you think it has something to do with skill level?

Laird Hamilton goes paddling on flat water off the coast of Maui. Just this week, 7 time F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher was out driving a go-kart. If you have true passion for a sport, then there are many situations that you can enjoy.

At the end of the day, I believe that it's attitude and personal choice - and not just skill level, that factors in to the "fun" quotient.

Have a great day on the water.

Oh yeah, just go hike, I know ya'll got sweet places there. Spend more time outside, and it will be worth it.

Or it is for me.

i like getting stoned in the woods.

i also like getting stoned and going to the painting studio at school.

aah just to update

i have been out a few times since, not during the week since i am too busy.

i went up to the north shore 3x last weekend, caught a few waves, saw jack johnson, and got my ass handed to me by waves more than twice my height.

now its small everywhere again but i got the beating i needed.

[Dec]

Definately those flat spells are needed after a decent but wooping!

Hey, about the north shore...how shallow are the reefs at sunset and Pipe? I know wailua and kammies are fairly deep, but if you take a drop to hard you will hit it.

[hawaiiSUCKSexceptsurf]

i dont think its bad, the south shore is worse. but im not experienced with either, i always go to jockos or off the rocks. i havent surfed pipe nor sunset much. all i know is that i didnt see any rocks sticking out and had no incidents when i went to them, but it may have been at high tide.

[passion_of_the_crest]

eh, i envy each and every one of you: try being in colorado...no beach for 1000s of miles. but, hey, i still have this site on my bookmarks bar, and my homepage is for swellnet.com.au, and i still subscribe to a daily e-mail from aquabumps.com

yea, it might be pathetic, but...well, its pathetic. who cares, i miss it.

i'll trade you my mountains for your beaches.

[tomcat360]

Have you always been in colorado?

[dondiemand]

i would kill to live in hawaii

[speedracer721]

i love surfing and havent even been able to surf for like three months. i spend alll frickin day on this page at work, trying to learn more and improve my mindset

[hawaiiSUCKSexceptsurf]

hawaii has the best surf, not perfect, but still. no argument from me. but ...


well.. at 7 this morning it took me a hot sweaty 40 min. to drive to school about 6 miles away. i cant ride my bike because i live halfway up the fricken mountain. the bus travels through downtown and takes 2 hours at rush hour. and its fricken december and im sweating first thing in the morning.

we dont buy christmas trees because they rot too fast. my mom picked up a wreath 1 week ago and already its stunk up the living room like sour mold, if she doesnt do it im throwing it out in the morning.

and thats just what happend today. i didnt even have to go to work.

passionfor... - where in colorado? snowboarding??? im going to visit my friend in colorado springs who of course like most people i know who grew up in hawaii loves where she lives now (and probably just being off the rock in general).

hawaii is like growing up in a small town surrounded by nothing and no way out. of course most of the young people want to leave.

[tomcat360]

Takes 40 minutes to go 6 miles away?

[libby]

Hawaii I dont think you realise that EVERYBODY (just about) feels like that about where they live. I grew up surrounded by fields and sheep and its a 5 mile drive to the nearest town, and i dont drive. There are 2 buses a day and its cold for alot of the year. But guess what? Looking back at it now i can see it was an amazing place to live.

Maybe you should either stop complaing and leave or learn to look on the bright side of life.

[oldiebeginner]

Take it easy Libby...calm...breathe...

[Driftingalong]

Yeah, pretty much every place I visited the kids that lived there would say something like "man, this town sucks. There's nothing to do here. I can't wait to leave."

Really try to enjoy what you've got because you will miss it when it's gone.



And, don't get so frickin' stoned all the time, man...
