Windsurf? I'm a long way from an ocean...

All good stuff, and the pissimg matches are entertaining ...

Hopefully the weather warms up soon, and I can find some lessons to check out.

Axe, I have a friend who's really into this, there's even an upstart film company locally. PM me, I might have an opportunity for you.

The F-One guys make great kite flicks. This is still my favorite even though it's a few years old, gets me amped every time.

This video is pretty cool for the windsurfers and SUPers out there

Another vote for kiting. Grew up windsurfing, done it my entire life. Learned to kite last year, so much eaiser on your body, hands down. Plus you can take your gear anywhere.
Don't waste your time or money getting into windsurfing. Pay the etra $ and get a kite set up and you will be super stoked.

Fuck Civil.

At 40 you should RIP at everything. I am 51 I ski harder, play harder and ride harder than I ever did when I was younger.
Use that shit up, just don't crash. I am working on landing forwards off summer wind-chop. THROW yourself into the air.

I have some friends in their early 60's here on Maui that are ripped as 20 somethings and charge big waves all winter.

Middle age starts at 72.

Still haven't managed to doing anything here, but I'm at Pawley's Island this week, so we went out paddle boarding yesterday, and our kayak is going up for sale as soon as we get back home. Plus...it'll get me into the hot MILF scene on the Mpls. lakes!!

I'm going to try to grab one of those boards to be able to "surf" a bit as well. The guy that took us out had a lot of knowledge from that standpoint, and was really great. We might rent an SUP for the remainder of our time here in SC. He was a surfer though, so didn't have a lot to say about kite/windsurfing, other than a lot of people do it, but he surfs...and a fair number of times, he's on his SUP.

Still thinking about it though. Probably more toward the kite thing these days though. I think I can line up some "bro-deals" on those.
