Beautiful picture. I love the ocean. Just looking at a picture of it makes me feel instantly happier and more peaceful. Thanks for posting!

I love watching the women out there surfing. I am never going to get that good but still so fun to watch them. Dream.

The best surfer in the water is the person who enjoys herself the most out there

Great thread.
My passion as a child was tennis. I was no where near the ocean or I would have loved to surf.
The good ones have been doing this since a child.
Surfer girl's butts drive me nuts!
Was able to get up on a big board at Waikiki long ago, can't imagine how much time it must take to master the little boards.
The whole life style and attitude of surfing appeals to me. They seem to have a much healthier perspective.

72 DEGREES!!! If we saw 72 degrees here people would be surfing NAKED! January water temp this year is record breaking El Nino warm at 61, soon to drop to the 50's. I'm digging out the 4/3/2.

[porsche4life]

50s? That's some BS, I wear a 5/7 suit to dive in that crap, and I didn't like it. Brrrrrr

was in oceanside, on the pier-

Had a lunch meeting at Jake's in Del Mar yesterday. Sat at the window right on the beach. Hard to stay focused on business when 50 yards away the damned Del Mar High School sponge board class is having water splash fights.

I had to ditch school and suffer detention to surf during the school day. These little grommets get high school credit for spending an hour on a body board??? That's just not fair.

The good old days indeed, Craig. Things are not as free and easy as they once were.

But we have to just keep charging, don't we?
