How many tries did it take you to ride your first wave ?

Post by jagotrading » Thu Oct 28, 2010 12:04 am

I want to try surfing for the first time and i was wondering how many times it took you to catch your first wave? And also how big was the wave? (By the way i snowboard a little if that helps at all lol)

I remember diving out of that helicopter headfirst with a board in my hand, which I accidentally grabbed instead of the speargun. I was trying to nab one of those nice tuna-tasty dolphins who was taking it easy on the foamball. Not to be deterred, I barrel-rolled whilst swinging the board into what turned into a pretty awesome overhead smash, knocking Flippy the now floppy dolphin, who then disappeared into the lip and onto the reef. By virtue of a small series of adjustments based on the subconscious laws of self-preservation and an innate sense of balance, I now found myself laying on the board facing backwards as it itself was now being carried along within the tube. Self-preservation now back within regulated boundaries, I deferred to an equally-ancient need - hunger.

My manservant Peepo had exited the helicopter after me, in a rubber dingy; which seemed to us as the best way to safely manoeuvre his 145kg South Pacific frame around in the water. His task was, as always, to gather to my hunting. A fine pair we made as we plied our way around that mighty ocean and its exotic ports during the course of the late 19th century. He, being the son of a poor chieftain who was to sell him into slavery in order to slow the rapid decline of the native pig population that comprised the bulk of Peepo's diet, was happy, if not a little foolhardy, to follow me in my wanderings.

I longed to return to the country manor and the cordial affections of Genevieve, however an excess of lust for adventure and an interest in expanding the whale trade beyond its northern boundaries continued to drive me onwards and outwards. I found Peepo, during an island jaunt a number of years ago, covered in pig blood, gnawing on a leg bone and strapped to a sacrificial altar. Not wishing to involve myself in local politics, I threw some semi-precious beads into the air and released Peepo from his binds. Since that day he pledged himself to me. Not liking the look into his eyes as he said those words, especially then discerning his gender, I allowed him to aid me in my endeavours instead; and a wonderful aid he has become. I found myself coming to trust him completely, and we had become an effective team. With this in mind, I rode the board until the wave deposited me onto a nearby beach. Peepo joined me some minutes later with the carcass of the dolphin firmly within grasp, and proceeded to quickly make a fire a prepare a meal of dolphin and coconuts. We sat there, content, and fell asleep on the sand as day deferred to dark.

I do count that as my first wave, though I do acknowledge that it was not the primary goal at the time.

Um...Dae!... that was a good thing you did for Peepo.
But how does he go getting around in the rubber dingy?

Peepo did very well indeed, getting around the dingy. Being all around something isn't a problem when one is 145kg.
