Surfing is dope

I've always wanted to learn to surf anyway. So I was down Ocean City this weekened and decided to rent a board. They gave me a pretty big 8Ft board. Anyway, my first day trying I was able to stand up and acutally surf! I credit to skating my whole life. I've always heard surfing was super hard so I'm siked. Granted, only 5ft waves and I only went straight in but I was still siked. Balancing isn't the hardest part, it's getting up that is. After that it's pretty chill if you have a decent sense of balance. Blabbering, either way, I've always heard people say it took them forever to just stand up so I'm stoked that my first day I actually surfed. P.S., wetsuits aren't just for the cold water. I learned that your chest/NIPPLES get EXTREMELY chaffed from laying on the board paddling etc. My nipples hurt. But I really surfed so fuck you.

awesome post.

i've always wanted to try surfing as well, but 20 years of skateboarding have taken a toll on my knees. i can't even stand up from a sitting position without holding on to something!

I have never surfered either. Always wanted to, but Lake Erie doesn't heed to many nice waves.

I'm 26 and this was my first time. I haven't been in the ocean up untill this point for like 8 years seriouslly cause I hated seawater but i finally decided the hell with it. I learned to surf which was dope but I still puked afterwards because of the saltwater I took in but I drank a whole bunch of spring water and bang I still give a fuck cause I stood up and surfed.

I'm considering surfing as a pastime myself. We have some good beaches down here that people actually travel here to surf.......in January.

Surfing is rad, I have done it a bunch of times. If you want to see a crazy surf movie watch Riding Giants(I know I laughed when I heard that the first time as well). Its about towe in surfing, dudes surf like 50 to 70 foot waves, its fucking insane.
