    I missed the swell of the century....

    actually, m*thafuckaz be traveling from all over the damn world to surf this lake. Pros be taking fancy ass sea planes in and running surgical strikes with RED BULL sponsorship. Bitches be descending from places like Hawaii and Europe and coming to get their novelty waves here on the US's...

    I missed the swell of the century....

    because I'm fat, chronically in duress, at the end of my physical and emotional rope, am injured and wouldn't have lasted ten minutes.

    I missed the swell of the century....

    Naw man.... I've been drydocked for the most part (save for a few OFL sessions in the summer) over the past few years. Life is hard enough to synch to the waves when you have swells that are predictable and last a while.... way harder to work in surfing with a family of 6 and several...

    I missed the swell of the century....

    yes.... the popup, the duckdive, the paddle.... EVERYTHING is harder and more physically challenging. The wave periods tend to be in the 6-10 second range and oftentimes you get pummled by massive chunks of ice while fighting it all. Takes a special kind of moron to be a Great Lakes surfer...

    CRUSTY!!! Good to see ya too, man. Been forever. SO many things changed..... lol. Anyway not more people on it because it's a ton of work to surf this cold, and that spot is a long ass drive from all but the most dedicated lakesurf crowd.

    what's beyond an OFL?

    Yep.... Didn't 'seem' crazy to me at first, either.... but then, I had my 'In Love' goggles on, and was excited at the prospects of a new life in New Zealand. Lesson learned. But, I'll always be grateful for her role in my life because without here I would not be Daddy to two wonderful...

    what's beyond an OFL?

    BOB!! Hey there! Yep, the weather is great, the Sea is there.... the throngs of crowds and the smog and the fires and the traffic I don't miss one bit! But, I'll always love CA as a home away from home!! Would love to see you again. :)

    what's beyond an OFL?

    Kind of a long story. Short version is that I was married to a woman who was convinced she could never be happy again unless we moved back to the USA. Reluctantly, I came back. Then, she attempted to abduct our children, I divorced her, and ten years later guess what? (She's still not happy...

    Boards on Roof, blown off?

    Here's a good board blowing off the roof story..... So many years ago, I moved to Ventura. I got a board and a wettie from GWS and started learning to surf.... it was a cool tri-fin Vector Vehicles thruster and I learned reasonably quickly on it despite being a total kook. Several weeks into...
