General Discussion / Re: Motivation?
« on: July 11, 2023, 07:50:14 AM »
I hear  you   It’s similar for me.  I am 3 months from 70.  Moved up to Yosemite at the start of COVID. But was working in so Orange County  lost so much tow hardly surfed at all.   Work never slowed down  so surfing never got more time. Then with COVID everyone who was supposed stay home just went to the beach  and everyday was  like Saturday that means all these people would come down to terramar my favorite break  hog all the parking  it really put a damper on my surf mood. Finally moved back from the mountains to San Diego. But could no longer buy a home in the beach town s where I lived for  almost 50 years and ended up in Fallbrook nice  place good compromise between wide open mountains and jammed packed coast  but still haven’t found the time  needless to say I lost so much skill and physical condition gained so much weight  so right now trying to get motivated but it is difficult when there is so much to do.  I am also waiting on my boost fin tpp

Well Waikiki canoes and queens are epic at 10 -12.  I finally surfed there last September it was 2-3 and I thought it was epic but it could have just been the warm water sea turtles and thong bikinis 😎

General Discussion / Shark attack today
« on: June 22, 2022, 10:32:06 PM »
I think it said manresa  swimmer  pretty serious  the media always call it an attack I suppose so  but really just a taste test  I feel sorry for the guy.   But if you swim there you look like lunch.  They are all over that beach area.

General Discussion / Re: SUP surfboard for a 250 lb person
« on: December 27, 2021, 09:50:39 PM »
Go with a starboard avanti   I have been at this for a while. Went down in size to sub. 9’. But unless you can do it virtually every day it became to hard for me. So I bit the bullet went big. Now I  can go on any day unless it’s too big  and with my work schedule  ( usually. 7 days a week )  365  so if I only get out 1 time a month. I get some waves    A few years back I wasn’t as busy so I could go 3 4 times a week mid day mid week. Skipped weekend  crowds  I got decent   But now I feel like a beginner again so the avanti  is great.  By the way I am 68 and 260lbs  not in optimal shape.  IMHO

General Discussion / Birthplace of surfing?
« on: April 06, 2021, 09:16:00 PM »
So it has long been a goal of mine to visit the birthplace of surfing. To kinda pay homage to the sport that has given  so much to me  the question is where ? What break?  Is it. Canoes ?  queens ? Walls ? Publics? 
What are your Thoughts ?

« on: December 22, 2020, 08:12:19 PM »
Yeah me too was off my board. For a while moved to the mountains  very little time to surf. My last session  sounded just like yours minus the fall on the rocks. But with the added indignity of a polite teenager who offered to carry my board up the slope at terra mar north

no seeling jeep gladiator  need  4 wheel drive  for work and fun and a picl up too.  The tripstick looks cool    may have to check that out.    The wave storm was my thought becasue as Bill said it is basically a throw away.    no loss if it gets stolen or  whatever.   budget wise trying to minimize costs,   as far as the house goes   1 acre    all grass  150 yeat oak trees and 80 foot high pines     2400 sqaure feet  separate shed / work shop  and separte office.  In encinitas  this would 2.5 million    ridulous.     lakes are coo but it is not the same as an ocean.. 
 any less expensive  inflatible sups that are worth a darn inthe surf. Most look like some kind of chinese knock off.   Ugg.

Well it has been a wild couple of years.
Good. Tons of work .....bad no time to surf as in zero days off self employed 
good saved enough to buy a house  where up in the mountains near Bass lake .....bad had to evacuate due to creek fire  now still busy at work all my hard board are up at the house.    Still working in Orange County   

Thinking of buying a used beater standup surf board that I can leave down in OC all the time.  Or  Just leave my oldest board where I stay. no place really  to leave it safely where I stay . So it’s risky. A bit  Or buy a used soft cheap wave storm  ( can’t find one anywhere which I thought they would be all over weird)

other thought is to buy an inflatable that I could take to the lake on 4 wheel drive trails around me and surf it when I am down in oc it would be my take everywhere in the back of my pickup board ,  My questions.
Are what to do?
Do inflatables surf worth a darn?
Where could I find a used inexpensive. Soft board such as a wave storm?
What are your suggestions?
In the last 2 years I have been in the surf maybe 4 or 5 times skills have seriously eroded.  I want to change that.  Get back to my roots

The other thing is and this is just a rAnt. Every time I come down for work  I drive by the beach in Carlsbad  and Encinitas and they are packed you can’t find a parking space.  It’s a wtf moment for me.
