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!

Hmm I could do this weekend. Don’t have a non-short-board though and only got the bike etc.
