110% pro move right there
You know the real pro move?

Pulling out.

I kid, I kid.

But seriously, kids freak me out. Or more specifically, having kids. I have a niece and nephew who are just over a year old and I love hanging out with them but I also love that I get to go home afterwards to my childless house.

Don't stress about it. Things work out. You'll find a way.

Read to him/her. Play Baby Beethoven. Expose them to nature. For your part, stay fit.

ps my attempts to have a surf prodigy totally backfired. Now my daughter actually told me the other day, after skin diving (she likes that), "I have an irrational fear of waves." So, don't dunk 'em when they're infants.
This is great advice. We did exactly the same thing reading, music and nature. Our kid announced when he was 15 that he isn't into surfing. Loves to body surf and booger board though which just fine with me. Now he's in community college with good grades, life guarding for the city and playing water polo. For the most part he's a great kid. Although, at times a little too smart for his britches. ;)

Sometimes I feel like kids suck the life out of you.

Other times I think the opposite. It's kind of like the stock market I think. (I realize this analogy is really fvcked up and should probably send me to therapy) Some days are up, some days things look like they are crashing. But overall, long term, the value outs.

I wonder who lives longer, people with kids or people without? If I didn't have kids, there would have been way more surfing for a number of years there. Probably more drugs, alcohol, a divorce, super hot slutty women, fast cars and lots more disposable income...

:unsure:

i'm pretty sure parents live longer.

but I'll take quality over quantity.

Nazare looks like the smoothest day possible out there but the chatter is so bad on their boards, they can't even do a turn.

Update:

20 1/4" x 8 pound baby boy arrived over the weekend!

I've been pee'd on 5 times (once in the face), my phone has been puked on twice, we've got a cracked nipple and sleeping about 5 hours a day. STOCKED.

Child birth is GNARLY. I feel like you guys didn't address this enough.

And of course, my Varial Twinsman arrived today as well as a local custom that I ordered in December.
