Show us your face.
« on: March 05, 2013, 05:47:36 AM »
"SUPer Dave started a nice thread about, "What does your vehicle look like." How about "What do you look like." It's interesting trying to picture how the poster looks like and experience.

I'll start. Me, been around water my whole life spending my first 13 years in California in the Bay Area then the rest in Massachusetts. Minimal surfing experince, 30+ years windsurfing Cape Cod. Did SUPing a few years ago but last year I got hooked. Would like to venture into surf SUPing but age and 9 surgeries may hold me back with 5 knee, 2 shoulder, 1 hand, 1wrist.

Living on Cape Cod.

 Old SALT here...
 This year marks my 50th anniversary in the waves. Started out at age 13 in Miami Beach (1963) and learned, early on, that I was going to have to move north... Ended up here in north Florida back in 1970. Been here ever since except for a few mini-excursions.
 I've been through 3 water sports in those 50 years; Surfing (short and long-board), windsurfing (1981), dabbled in Kites for a short stint, and now hooked on SUP since 2009...
 My competitive "crowning achievement" was 3rd Place US Championships Long-board way back in the early 80's...  Been a pretty fun ride, so far...   Paddle on,  JD

Great Idea... although it may make our pretend lives less imaginary :-\

Took this one just for you... although there's probably a few million on my occasional post ;)

So far looks like us three are around the same age. Where's that hat "Old Farts Rule."

There must be something in the saltwater or it’s the life style, because you old farts look good. BTW, I’m catching up, 49.
One and a half years doing SUP and having a blast. Did triathlons for about seven years before getting hooked on SUP.  Other than ocean swimming I have no paddling or surfing experience. The picture is from a race I did last year. I think I came in second to last place overall. It was still awesome!
