Do you still surf?

[Tuffy]

Most Ex Surfers start becoming ex surfers around the age of 40.

Some become longboarders. Some move to AZ and go 4x4ing or to the midwest and shoot guns.

This board is primarily mid 30s to well over 40.Several members no longer surf.

How often do you surf? Please add commentary, especially if you are over 40 and actually surf weekly. \\

42 and surf everyday if I am healthy enough. With my body breaking down more and more I now sometimes ride a mid length or boogie board. Hard to watch your favorite waves barreling and being too hurt or weak to go out though.

52, still trying to get after it when there are waves, swear every winter I am done(hate wearing gloves).

consider move to florida and go fishing and shooting guns. seems like a better life than this communist chithole. i think the covid surfers and surf pe/surf teams pretty much ruined any uncrowded weekday session hope. had a good run though before all the bs. nobody surfs forever.

Arthritis in the wrist and a knee replacement took me out of the surf; last day was on my 65th birthday almost 14 years ago. Still get enjoyment watching my kids and grand kids in the water, taught them surf etiquette before their first paddle outs.

60, surf daily.

Shoulders sometimes ache a little, otherwise no signs of wear. 6'1 (verified by medical professionals, not media fact checkers) 173.

Only 39, so voted under 40. Currently laying the ground work to free up more surf time over the next decade than I've ever had previously. Fit and surfing better than I ever have too. Still improving. In it for the long haul.

Not the way you think.

37 and surf every day my schedule allows, generally 4-6 days per week ...pretty much regardless of conditions. If it's flat I'm just going for the exercise and paddle from spot to spot down the coast or riding a log. I don't mind wind too much.. decreases the crowd. Sometimes I'm only out for an hour, but I'm moving around the whole time.

My father is 72 and still surfs 4-6 days a week, on a fish, shortboard, or mid. He set a positive example for me. We live in the same town and continue to surf together regularly. When I was ~5-6, he'd take me down to the beach and paddle out to the main peak and leave me on the way inside on one of his shortboards. Us kids had to stay in there or we'd get yelled at by the crusty oldfucks who held it down back then. Formative experience for me, in many ways.

53 and surf as much as possible. Typically weekly if there’s swell. Living where I do we can have very long flat spells so there’s that.

When the surf is good I ride short boards, mostly twin fins. Will still ride HPSB thrusters when appropriate (punchy beach breaks or when I know I’ll be going backside all day).

This past Wednesday and Thursday I rode chest high to overhead point break surf on a 5’6 Plasmic.

I’ll ride a mid length or glider in the small stuff. Sometimes when it’s crowded and I feel like being a dick I’ll “armor up” and take out a bigger board (6’6 or 7’2) twin.

 

[One-Off]

62 retired and surf 2-4 times a week. This past winter and spring were really good. I haven’t surfed since Wednesday so I feel like I don’t surf anymore. Also not looking forward to June gloom and South Bay summer doldrums…

Almost 55 and surf as much as age injuries and being in NJ allow. Still on a shortboard. I’ll resist longboarding for as long as I can.

Bullshit, you sit on the beach jocksniffing anytime it is bigger than chest high. Then attempt to mock those that actually paddled out.

You’re leaking.

Most recent shot of me from PR a couple months back. Nothing special but it’s more than you’ll post. Put up or shut up.

WOW! You surfed in PR! Must have been the first Jersey guy there ever! LOL!

Longboarding is for stoke amigo. How I wish I could pop up with my kids and grandkids. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Seriously, no dis intended…

I’ll be 50 in June and still surf everyday there’s waves. My schedule pretty much revolves around the forecast and tides. Most of my close friends have pretty much quit surfing and think I’m crazy for getting stocked on knee high FL mush. Can’t help it, I’m still a surf stocked grom at heart. Mostly ride small wave HP boars and HP twins here due to wave size, but occasionally get to ride HPSBs when the waves get good.
