Now THAT's something I'd like to try someday!!!! Awesome!

Our house goes on the market the week my youngest graduates from high school and we're moving to a surf shack on the Big Island...I've been studying water collection and wind harvesting because we'll be off the grid, which is just fine with me.

Even when the waves are small, being out on the board in the ocean is amazing. I think there are some feelings that only skiers and pilots and divers and surfers (eh, and astronauts, of course) have the chance to sometimes experience---hmmmm....touching the edge of something incredibly vast, maybe?

The most amazing day of my life was on the water and not the snow...my birthday, back in '96...we were at the Joisey shore and a tropical depression did a U turn about 200 miles off of LBI and kicked up glassy 10-footers. Not a wind ripple----just huge rolling sets that sounded like 747's taking off.

That is something I can't wait to experience. Only got into riding waves two summers ago and I use training wheels, aka body board, but man the feeling when a good wave swallows you up and races you to shore with the freakish power it has is INCREDIBLE

The northeast has a surf rep like the midwest does for skiing...BUT, late August through October can bring some great days when we get near-miss hurricanes and depressions. Plus, you are surfing over sand as opposed to the razor blade-like coral of our favorite spots in Hawaii. My wife has stepped on urchins twice in Hawaii and felt like she was stabbed by a rusty knife. I'm also not a bodyboarding snob...I love to bodyboard, too. There's hardly ever a down day, especially if you're at a spot that has a jetty or a decent sand bar to kick up knee-highs at low tide. If you have fins and a decent bodyboard, you can spend just as much time "covered up" in a tube as guys standing up...

True.....

Let's just say experimenting in the bedroom (or shower... or movie theater... etc.) is even steezier than skiing. Skiing is fantastic, but this is something you can do year-round that can be just as (or MORE) thrilling. I won't delve into further details. But I'm certain I'm not the only one who feels this way.

+1...so true Sev!!!

Wow. Do you like money?

 

[bigbog]

....close to skiing..

Paddling, preferably moving (white)water, but the touring(flatwater) thing is ok...but it has to be in northern lattitudes.

I like money. I just don't think we have time for a hand job right now, Paul.
