meh it's fun. you can get hurt doing daily things as well, but i enjoy it. sucks getting hurt, but that's the price ya pay.

It only hurts for a few days. Then when you get old it hurts for the rest of your life. I'm on pace to be hurting for the rest of my life in a few years. Until then its full speed ahead. I advise anyone whos gonna pursue this to first try bodyboarding and to swim in the ocean for at least a few months before attempting larger sets. Will probably take most people about six months to be in shape to even have the speed to keep up with 6 foot waves and drop in.

Agree.

Found out a few of my friends took a trip out to Puerto Escondido. Kinda pissed I didn't get invited lol. Would have loved to have gone there. Also found out another friend is out in Cali chilling with his cousin who has a place a few blocks from The Wedge ****er is there and was in Hawaii over the winter.

Paul Roach is with out question my favorite bodyboarder. IMO he's the best DK rider around. Helped invent the layback. He is also a huge character.




Oh yea Fred Black's Beach? Been there?

Been to all three places. My dad and me deep sea dive out of Puerto Escondido its an amazing spot. I live 20 minutes from The Wedge in Newport. Been to Blacks about twenty times, not the nude beach part, we sneak in from the other direction. Nice break at Blacks actually if you go about a mile offshore. Paul Roach is a stud no doubt, but Guillherme Tamega is currently the best in the world. If i had to pick i'd pick Jeff Hubbard from Hawaii he is technically the most gifted.

I hate you.

Jeff is a stud no doubt. I'm more of a fan of DK and still think roach has the best style. Matt Lackey is another as well. **** there are a ton.

Ever gone to Mavericks lol?

Gotta move to Cali, this is the second best place for waves on the planet, sorry south africa. I've been to Half Moon Bay a dozen times. Can't ride jet skis out so i've never been in the water, Mavericks is a ****ing killer man, if Mark Foo can't surf it and live, I know my limits.

For those who might not know the infamous Mavericks wipeout.

Def gotta move to Cali. There is a video of a dude who decided to boydboard Mavericks. The guy who did it is the one who uploaded the video on youtube. Said apprently the ride is too choppy for a bodyboard and isn't really a fun ride.

Not too surprising its choppy as hell on surf boards. You can see the speed wobbles when guys hit fifty foot faces. Place is terrifying looking. You have to wear warm gear 365 days a year and you still get sno cone headaches. I'm never gonna be good enough for Mavericks and i'm ok with that knowledge.

those headaches suck. All I deal with in the winter when it picks up here haha.
that whole Mavericks Crew (skindog, condor, flea, barney) are ****ing insane.
