You don't have to name it, found this(not my pic) on the net of what seemed to be picked from my memory bank.

Vancouver Island
At age 30 I was all grown up when I moved here but as a surfer I "grew up" here for 12 years, more or less.


Take care.

Don't know if 16 and beyond counts as "grow up on", but before driver's license I grew up on everything accessible by RTD. Yep, RTD, not MTA The ocean to downtown LA and everything in between <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

From the time I learned at 12 'til 17 until it burned, watched it going up from my bedroom window. surfed it a couple of more years until it was set on fire a second time.
