I now own surfboard.
2nd hand, big and beautifully ugly. Like me.
Ahhh. I didn’t grow up near the ocean, always been a mountain man. Then a few months ago I got a surfing lesson, and it was, was… right.
Seemed kitsch or too late in life to become a “surfer”, but over the last few trips, I’ve decided FTS, and now I own a surfboard.
:-)
To all those who grew up near the ocean and feel lucky - you are, it’s magic.

chunky it was an awful night. decided to go on dates with two separate men. the first was very nice. and the second getn as well. he was a bartender and he brough along his patron/slash friend of 7 years. isn’t that stragne? i met them at a club, wiht my friend martilia.
he was buzzed. (i had about 3 beers total, 24 ounce) and he had spit accidently as speaking. I stopped and was like,…oh uh, you kinda spit when talking. then he asked…”you have a problem with exchanging bodily fluids. and i said, yes, i’d like to wait two years before anything develops.”
sigh, i’m very sad, he’s friend got very protective over him, saying…”strange and such….but why bring his friend in the first place, the guy is native to this area and is spoiled…?”
but mygod, why do i feel so bad? i miss matthew. yes matthew i miss you. chunky do you have any comments? i likew to hear y0oure feedback because u kinda remind me of him, and i am sentimental and strange,.
KEWL! imma walk in your futtstapps as soon as it will be possible :D enjoy!!
I got big feet and long legs, plus I walk funny and take a winding path that too often takes me back to the start.
Feel free to learn from mistakes and take the faster way there at your own pace.
lmao seems we have a handfull i common hehe
hmm. warning: do not drink and post. repeat do not drink and post.
o, funny anecdote by the way, was on my way to work this morning when i stopped by the circle k to grab a coffee. (yes, the 3 beers did a number on me, whew).
when there was a tall and disheveled looking man buying apple flavored snuff and rolling papers from the blonde and chubby cashier.
he pays and and walks back to his range rover.
the cashier exclaims ” O no.. ..”
following her line of vision, i turn, to see out the window, a car backing slowly towards the gas pump, with a disconnected gas hose wiggliing obscenely from it’s side.
seems he’d forgotten to take the nozzle out, before pulling away.
Cashier, “See, he shouldn’t do be smoking like that.”
Me, “Wht do you mean?”
Cashier, “He was in here just now buying rolling papers.”
haha. morale of the story? Do not smoke and pump, repeat do not smoke and pump.
come to think of it. probably do know him. but apparently if so, none of us would have had remembered each other anyways.
I live near the ocean but on the east coast so there’s not much surf. Years ago a friend and I found a broken surf board on the side of the road. After patching it up I went surfing for the first time. About ten minutes into it the board flipped over and cracked me on the back of the head with the fin. Blood in the water, looked like a scene from Jaws. Nine stitches later I gave up surfing. Would love to do some kite surfing though.

Sweet story. I bought a soft board, to much ridicule, as I’ve seen similar stories to yours.
Kite surfing is great, my brother does it now as he is in a place with no surf, and I’ve done plenty of windsurfing. Whats stopping you?
Lessons are expensive and buying the gear ain’t cheap. I did try to take lesson with my bro when he was in town but they were full up.
Yeah, they are exe.
I’m also on motorbikes most of the time, so simple body surfing for me up till now.
