Burned out on surfing....

by **bgdkmetzger2003** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 7:34 am

I got to say, ive lost it for a while. I moved down to a 6'0. There wasnt much surf to learn on. Then it got really big and I went out and got the xxxxx beat out of me (I was in shape so I could take it, but I didnt improve at all). Then it got bigger and really crappy shape. Huge walls and closeouts. Its colder now. I've kind of just moved on to the gym for the time being. I dont know when Im going to go surfing again...

Im surfed out at the mo as well. Quite a few of us are getting sick of this swell. It should be dropping off come next week. Its not so much the swell but the storm surf my local beach is getting its relentless and im tired of taking a beating each time i have to paddle out :cry:

Dont lose the stoke man the surf will improve

Let the clean sets roll back in. Hell anything better than the slosh im surfing at the mo is an improvement :wink:

If it got realy big maybe you should go for a bigger board then a 6'0. When the surf gets meaty obviously a bigger board is going to be better (depending on what realy big is).

by **bgdkmetzger2003** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 7:07 pm

yeah its probably a little bit of both the board being small and the surf being larger than normal around here. Its around couple feet overhear to 3 feet overhead wouldn't you say isaluteyou? But its just really shitty too. It would be different if it was nice and clean and peaky. Its not even good in the morning right now huh.

The size is great the shape is not. Living next to the beach means i have real time surf reports :lol:

And im looking at slosh right now. A very long hard paddle out for choppy / storm driven waves. Its just not worth it.

Even the dawn patrol sessions are a waste of time. Not just that but there is no one out there. I dont know about the rest of you but i think its a really really bad idea to paddle out in storm surf on your own

My eyes are glued to both the weather reports and surf reports and nothing really is looking good for the next few days. Maybe some of the more sheltered spots are getting better surf. The reef surf is much better but only compared to the beach break.

All in all this SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

i heard Black's is one of the best breaks in SD, even on not so good conditions

by **bgdkmetzger2003** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 4:54 pm

blacks is where I went out the last time I surfed. It can be good but Ive seen some crappy days there also. At the worst Its a huge closing out wall. At its best, A nice A frame beach break. Very unforgiving if you get caught inside.

Guys, I really feel for you. That must suck. Imagine the frustration of living right on the ocean, and having really big waves but they're not surfable.

Hold on....

You live right on the ocean...

*Pity mode cancelled*

But seriously, I hope it cleans up soon guys. Don't lose heart!

man i wish i was able to surf so much id burn out on it. i think thats one thing thats good about being on the east coast, when there is swell you don't take it for granted, and every wave is that much better.

Use to surf Blacks when it was big. It breaks best on a South swell usually in the late spring, summer or early fall. Any other direction makes it close out. :roll:

I think many surfers that surf their would tell you that it breaks much better in the winter.
