Ya I do surf, but as often as I'd like to anymore - especially since my neighbor borrowed my longboard about two weeks ago and got into a car accident on the way back from the beach - apparently it got run over.

I mostly cry now.

two months pass...

I have this game and I'm really good at it. I am addicted to my own replays:

I know this is bad but the girl surfer in it is rubbish. I never play as her.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Did I let you borrow that one? It's fun. My favorite spots are either G-Land, Mundaka, or Kirra.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:16 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I bought it. I like the beach that is really rough and is in Northern Cali and has no ridable tubes. Is it Half Moon Bay or something?

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I also like Kelly's dry and witty commentary.

Sarah watches because I told her he kissed Britney in a video.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:19 (twenty-one years ago)

KS was also wooing Pamela Anderson for what seemed like an overlong period of time.

that beach is called "mavericks" and yes, it's about 1/2 a mile off the coast of half moon bay.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Mavericks! Yes, they were in STEP INTO LIQUID. "Crazy".

Maybe we should go and see RIDING GIANTS.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:21 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah! i heard it's great.

what is the opening song that plays during that video, sounds kinda tribal but eastern but glossy...?

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I wanted to check out Mavericks (in person, not on a video game) but nobody I asked in CA knew or had heard of Mavericks. WTF? Luna, I'm looking at you.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Isn't it just part of the Santa Cruz/Half Moon Bay connurbation?

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:28 (twenty-one years ago)

SURF
Flat and poor conditions.

Not enough energy...

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't go to it cause no one knew where it was! I assumed it was far north of San Francisco for some reason.

So you can only tow into it?

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:33 (twenty-one years ago)

In Step Into liquid they tow miles out from the coast of san Diego and ride freakishly high waves (60ft+) like death-crazed idiots. It's great.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:35 (twenty-one years ago)

So you can only tow into it?

i think they only tow-in when it's closing out at the takeoff spot (ie, huge and swell direction < ideal).

it is a LONG paddle out and there are some boaters that will take you out in the lineup when it gets out of control (NB: i've never surfed there, this is based on stories and videos and conversations).

cortez bank, that's in KSPS too.

I guess I have a long way to go. :(

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

haha, you sure do!

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I am at the level in Vice City where you have to kill members of a "European gang". I bet your buddies JW and hstencil love THAT one.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Is that passed the level where you have to shoot out the windows in the mall (because if it is, i've been stuck there for about 58 decades).

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:46 (twenty-one years ago)

no.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:47 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't remember then, that's how insignificant european gangsters are in my life.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:47 (twenty-one years ago)

xenophobe

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:50 (twenty-one years ago)

that's a very common eurocentric misconception that i certainly wouldn't put past you.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd kindly like to point you to some recent opinion polls on this very subject. For ease of reading, they are displayed both numerically and in pie chart form.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:51 (twenty-one years ago)

You didn't ask me, snotface.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

:-P

when you get to the intro video to cortez bank, i challenge you to try NOT to get seasick while viewing it.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:56 (twenty-one years ago)

okay.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 21:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes I did, boogerbutt. Perhaps you *gasp* forgot.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 29 July 2004 22:06 (twenty-one years ago)

five months pass...

watching Blue Crush. god I love this movie.

I think learning to surf should be a major goal of my life. This shows poor judgment.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 10 January 2005 05:29 (twenty-one years ago)

i used to surf heaps when i was a teenager, from the age of 14, all along the south west coast of australia, since i loved everything to do with the beach and the ocean. when i first started learning (around 1990/91) girls in the surf were very much frowned upon around where i lived and my mates and i used to get heckled mercilessly. now when i'm at the beach it makes me very happy to see as many young girls as guys in the line up, i think this is due to movies like blue crush and female role models like layne beechley (sp?). i still love the ocean more than anything in the world but i don't surf anymore. dunno why.

Hi my Surfing thread!

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Ooooh Gabbneb Blue Crush looks "good"!

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

gem I can almost hear your accent in that post! it never occurred to me that girls could be seen as out of place on a surf-board. it's weird, because it's not quite like golf, where the sport is often an excuse for guys to be away from their wives.. surfer guys don't really have wives too much of the time, do they, so that's not it.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 10 January 2005 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I heard of some pretty intense surf in SoCal towards the end of last week.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 10 January 2005 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

oooooh do tell

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 18:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I learned to surf in Australia in the early 80s - I got a lot of shit for it from the guys, but after they realized I wasn't going away, most of them laid off.**

(**I suspect a couple of them also wanted to have it off with my sister, who was teaching me)

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 10 January 2005 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

here are photos of my brother surfing mavericks. he owns a jet ski and does get pulled into waves. they're sometimes up to 30 feet high.

he is a full on surfer. has been since he was 13 (he's 34 now). he used to go to Indonesia every summer to live on a house/surf boat. he used to live in Kawaii. pretty much his entire life revolves around surfing. he now has wife and kid. he used to call me every week or so just to chat. now that the surf is up i never hear from him anymore.

it's hillarious, because i fucking hate the ocean. i'm a total city kid. he calls me a vampire because i'm always out late and wake up late. i hate the sand, the sun, and the water.

― JaXoN (JasonD), Monday, 10 January 2005 19:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I love all of that stuff! This brother sounds cool.

― .adam (nordicskilla), Monday, 10 January 2005 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

currently listening to early Beach Boys and it makes me want to surf and drive a hotrod

SURFING APOCALPYSE

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 9 December 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

"Everybody's figuring out how they're going to get on with their life," said Chris Mauro, editor of Surfer Magazine.

― Mayor of Dutchtown (nordicskilla), Friday, 9 December 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

Surfer onomatopeia:

"I'm too old to flick and fly. I'm in it for the feedback through my feet.

― Thea (Thea), Friday, 9 December 2005 16:34 (twenty years ago)

uhh...alliteration...whatever

― Thea (Thea), Friday, 9 December 2005 16:54 (twenty years ago)
