Congratulations on your upcoming retirement and relocation. You'll love being retired. Being "footloose and fancy free everyday" is quite a feeling since I know it well.

Wow, looking at the map of Charlotte, there are some really huge lakes and river links around there that go for many, many miles.  Does not look like any local shortage of flatwater boarding or possibly wake boarding.

Yeah, Lake Norman is pretty big and it gets windy.

It's a concept I can't quite imagine yet.  Thanks, Wing.

So I guess I should change my screen name  :-\  Any suggestions?

I'd go with Grampy.  No better thing to be called.

Enjoy the free time. Come up and visit Grampy….. :)

3 hours away from surf!  ....so close!  (says the guy 5 hour away)

You'll enjoy every wave you get a little bit more now.

Congrats on the move and retirement.

@ Zooport

Since you said the beach is a three hour drive one way from your new home, you can still get a ton of sup surfing in. Just get up early, drive the three hours to the beach, sup surf in the morning until it gets hot or you get tired. Then rest for a couple of hours, sup surf again at late afternoon into early evening.

Then get a motel room for the night; which has a door to the outside parking lot so you can bring your sup into the room, get cleaned up, get a good meal and a good night's sleep. Check out of the motel before sunrise, drive back to the beach for a 3-4 hour sup surfing session. Then load up, get on the road by noon and head back home. You should be back home by 3:00 PM.

Wild Animal Park Port... eh, just doesn't roll off the tongue as smoothly.  Enjoy hurricane season! :D
I like "Slatchport" personally...something only the truly courageous, self-assured, adventuresome, and in-the-know are be able to wear....kind of like a pink boa.  ;D

Have fun on your new adventure Zoo, life's for living no matter where you call "home", and I'm sure you'll enjoy retirement, and grandkids much, much more than you'll ever miss the SoCal craziness I'm almost positive of that...even if that does mean I little further drive for some saltwater salvation.

You should see my neighborhood this weekend.  Crawling with people covering everywhere and everything.  Could you imagine thousands of people from all over your county crowding into the neighborhood where you live?

Fortunately I have a beautiful 180o view of the water, but have to drive to my surf spot, so all the folks from all of the other counties flock to the state beach lots, and I only have to deal with them there...which during the week isn't too bad (all things considered), and why I do all of my "at home" projects on the weekend. =)
