OK - just sharing - bought a 9ft longboard - and headed to the Texas coast for a week vacation - We had 2 days of storms so the wave were big enough to ride only 2 of the 7.....anyway the kids enjoyed playing on the board more than me - my nephew (6) rode it all the way in and broke the fins off in the sand - so catching a wave wasn't really that exciting - but I did finally get to experience riding a wave....
but....on a good note we had a freakin' blast on the wakeskate - we brought my Dad's mule and before the beach became too crowded we rode the wakeskate -that was a lot of fun - butterslide on a wave - some 360s, 180s, off the wave - got lots of attention from onlookers too.....
anyway as for my beach trip - the surfing really sucked - a lot of work for a 10 to 15 second ride - I wont even bother bringing the surfboard next year - just the mule and the wakeskate
wish I had taken some pics |

Sorry your first surf outing was a bust! Have a visit in California, see if your mind doesn't change.
Here's a few pics from one of my last trips to San Diego.

I will do that - I enjoyed getting up - but really TX coast just doesn't produce waves that are worth a crap - even during the middle of a storm
I'm gonna take the 9 fter out to the river this weekend - see if I can't nose ride it or get my dog to get up with me....... |
