that sounds like a good idea oz.
Ha ha ha, I don’t think the city beaches are a great setting for BW surf school eh? Lanox do you live close to the beach? I had a hard time understanding as a kid what people who didn’t surf did all day, I couldn’t fathom life without it. It’s been the single most engrossing thing I have ever done in my life. I call it a thing because I don’t know how to accurately label it, it’s kind of a sport but that’s not all encompassing enough, it’s a bit of a pastime but that kinda insulting, it’s way more than a hobby and to call it a lifestyle is a bit bad surf movie bohdi zen style bullshit.
Suffice to say I get more out of surfing then anything else I have ever done, probably why I love snowboarding so much as occasionally I get the same sort of feeling from it but never as much or as intense, maybe I need to go big mountain riding with Jeremy Jones or something ha ha ha, I must not be trying hard enough.
That came dangerously close to being pseudo psychological babblings of a delusional surfer dude, I’ll stop that now before I embarass myself.
Lanox if you live in reasonable proximity to the beach, like 15mins or so, buy yourself a board of some description, you said you have bodyboarded before right?
Oz if you think you suck at snowboarding come and have a surf lesson ha ha ha!
Oh I sucked at surfing too! But would give it another go!
this is from a work Christmas party as party of the afternoon activities we went to Manly surf school. It poured with rain the entire time!

nthn, yeah i have a bodyboard, live 20 min walking from cooggee beach and maybe 15 min drive from marubra beach, that is why i was saying come down one day for a surf and few drinks.
I’d give surfing another go… I just gotta stop using my Dad’s only short-board. I’m not nearly good enough to use it
tj lets do i t at bondi or marubra.
this weekend anyone?
Can’t do next as I am heading to Chill Hill
Hmm I could do this weekend. Don’t have a non-short-board though and only got the bike etc.
Bondi on a weekend lano… you gotta be joking…
I can do Sunday though.
Yeah Bondi will suck. Is Maroubra much better?
Lano can you get up to the Northern beaches at all?
Or get to town and I can drive you (and yes TJ i will come get you)

no not bondi man, marubra or any other beach i dunno..
only reason i would suggest bondi is becouse i am know you can rent a board. and i could pick you up from the city if u want
Yeah Bondi will suck. Is Maroubra much better?
Lano can you get up to the Northern beaches at all?

Kim yeah i can go where ever not to bothered to be honest i can probably even pick some of u guys and i think for this my boss could make an appearance lol ...
Yeah I am easy too.
So you can do Sunday Lano? Would be good if the missus comes!
But yes ability to rent a board will be the key to this i suppose

Why would you bring your boss…. Oh
So Sunday works for you guys? Anyone else keen?
Can probably meet at my place if we are going north and it suits people?
lol most of the time when i don’t bring her i get in trouble from Kim lol ....
lucky Kim seen her otherwise she would probably think i have imaginary wife lol
I am quiet sure Sunday is good but i have to check with mrses in case she didn’t organist something that i don’t know about ..
i will get back to you guys on tonight, but i am very keep to do it if not this weekend next 100%
I can’t do next and neither can Kim (above) so either this weekend or 2 from now
