what sucks is if you forget to stretch a certain muscle, it will pull.
Im stoked if I can go a surf without doing any damgage!
Normally my shoulders feel like shit which can give me headaches.
And on the odd occasion I will wake up with a stiff back.
does your surfing change as you get old(er)?

I used to find any excuse to go for a surf ... now I seem to do the opposite ... I still go, just not as often as I did or would like to ... it's hard being a gump and being the quality of surfer that, in my arrogance, I used to laugh at ... I want to surf like I used to but I know I never will ... it's over to you guys. Just don't leave your buzzard on the beach too long, 'cos I'm not dead yet!

I think that the standard of potato's has changed over the years. Has it affected my surfing ability? Who knows?Felix wrote:I used to find any excuse to go for a surf ... now I seem to do the opposite ...

yeah, good point , I know what I'm doin' ... and I often ponder how senior at work I'd be and how much extra money I'd have if I'd gone the other way ....Ringmaster wrote:You're probably not slowing down IF you still make all kinds of excuses and/or sacrifices to get a surf in.
on the other hand............
I reckon you're on the downhill slide once you start making excuses/finding reasons NOT to get a possible surf in.
So Johnno, now that you managed to extract yourself from whatever (or whomever) it is you’ve been doing you gunna pissorf and stay quiet for another 6 months?Johnno wrote:Money’s not everything but memories are gold................Surfin Turf wrote:yeah, good point , I know what I'm doin' ... and I often ponder how senior at work I'd be and how much extra money I'd have if I'd gone the other way ....

after 45 years in the water,what pushes me these days is the mates that are stone cold dead..theres heaps of em these days ,and when a wave comes my way,i remember these fellas and realise how lucky i am..i go anything no matter how big or narly, and when i pull off a wave,i do the inside claim for those dear old mates i miss so much...most of the time i get flogged or abused for the snaking that has become second nature with age but ive never been hit or hit anyone in all these years..and chaps if you are ever in the water with nickc his game plan is to be underneath you on the takeoff,thats five times in ten years in various places young nick!
