[Captain Ahab Jr]

I'm a boarder, 43yrs old and still going strong maybe even getting better

First tried it at the tender age of 23 over 4 quite painful days, after a 17yr break I moved to Italy and now into my 3rd season and won't stop until I'm too old to stand. I'm the only boarder in my group but I don't have any trouble keeping up so I can't be too bad.

Tried skiing and couldn't get on with it as I'm more of a balance orientated guy rather than cooridination so snow boarding really 'clicked' for me.

My board is one of my all time favourite possessions and I would go back into my burning house to save it.

Never tried surfing but have done skate boarding, knee boarding, skurfing with some degree of skill. I will try surfing but will probably leave it until I'm 50 as I want to have something new and fun to do later on in life.
