Hey, was just wondering if there were any surfers on these boards. I might have mentioned that I started surfing in January. I had to give it up for a month n a half on account of finals and the freezing cold waters. I managed to get a new Quiksilver wetsuit that I�m going to try out today and I�m so stoked.

Any who, have any of you tried this pastime? I was too small for Football(American) 160lbs, too short for Basketball 5'9, and then i find surfing.....any body type, any height, anything goes...and I actually have the 'ideal' body type/size for this sport which is awesome . And it's not like a competitive thing...it's just you and the wave.....and those things can really give you a LOT of speed. if you live on the ocean you really need to try it out if you haven�t.

If you don�t have access to any surf, check out these movies:
One of the best know Surf movies (which I own) "The Endless Summer" made in the '60s. Its a classic.


The most recent one is "Step Into Liquid" which quite possibly has some of the best photography I�ve ever seen in a movie (just came out on DVD, which I�m going to buy as well). Coincidentally, it was made by the son of the guy who made "The Endless Summer"


Cheers
