I did this for the first time in a long time Tuesday. I forgot how fluid it makes everything. I was making things that usually are hard for me every time. And duck diving is AMAZING!!! Shit was Tight
This is one of my absolute favorite things to do. only time i surf without burning, is if im out haha
I surf on the Gulf of Mexico, unfortunately. haha. I can't believe I had never done it before. Just never happened to coincide before.
Ive always been curious of this, i live 100metres from the beach and love to Lid. I may try this soon.
This thread is old but there's no need to make a new one. Surfed high for the first time and it was awesome. I even had one of my longest rides. Not a huge wave but caught it and rode it parallel for sometime. I felt a lot smother out there also.
I can't wait to do this. I haven't surfed but I'll be living in Sydney in a year. I do a lot of other stuff high, like snowboarding and longboarding (the skateboard), as well as mountain biking and skiing. I love doing fun shit outside high.
Unfortunately I surf on the gulf of mexico. When the waves are good, I usually surf blazed. Its a fun time no doubt
Surfing stoned is great, obviously do so at your own risk. For those who haven't seen, the live feed to the competition at Teehupoo, Tahiti. Live Webcast - English - Billabong Pro Tahiti, Teahupoo - August 20 - 31, 2011 There have been some big waves this year depending on when you were watching, from the "tow day":
Man I use to live close to the beach and had access to a surfing board and still didn't surf high while I had the chance.
Can anyone help me out? Ive never surfed high before, but im thinking of trying tomorrow, its medium/medium-large size and going to be really cold. I mainly worry that it being so cold will be unpleasant, will it make too much if a negative impact? Cheers
I've surfed stoned in the cold waters in half moon bay, for me it kind of made me not notice how cold it was!
not sure if you went out already, but i would recommend not going out under these conditions. if you've never surfed, waves that are 2 ft high can seem large. being cold on top of this will only stress you out and can make it dangerous if you start to panic. I would find a wetsuit before you go in the water. There's a lot of things to think about when you're first starting to surf, worrying about being warm is the last thing you need. Good luck mate
I haven't hurt myself surfing yet, so I should learn how to do that soon enough. The only element to surfing is the wave. Not as much foot traffic in the ocean, you know?
