Possible move to Florida from CA
- Thread starter INDTUBE
- Start date
As a wise person on this forum once told me when it comes to boards but I think it's apropos here, "if it ain't fuck yeah, it's fuck no."
overheard when a buddy was asked how long he lived in Florida:
"oh not sure exactly how long but it was 376 days, 13 hours, 42 minutes, and 16 seconds"
"oh not sure exactly how long but it was 376 days, 13 hours, 42 minutes, and 16 seconds"
What a wuss. He hadn't even gotten to the deep summertime heart of darkness Equatorial Guinea weather. He'd have lasted an hour at the Lake Worth Pier back in the 80's.
Actually, I only lasted down there for a year. And I was working for Jimmy damn Buffett.
Duval been clean but Indian River County showing good patches of seaweed, both in the water and washed up on the beach, in various states of sun-baked decay.In the land of closeouts at least we have this to look forward too...

Marine scientists are tracking a 5,000-mile-wide seaweed bloom that is so large, it can be seen from space – and it’s heading towards Florida’s gulf coast.fox8.com
It’ll definitely clear up any iffy thoughts you have about boards.That’s an amazing expression
Copy pasted and will be plagiarized without hesitation, thank you
All your boards will now be bangers.
Moving can be tough, especially when it means leaving a place you love. I haven't personally made a cross-country move, but I do have a friend who moved from California to Florida for a job opportunity. From what they've told me, it was a big adjustment at first, but they've grown to really enjoy Florida and all it has to offer. It sounds like you have a tough decision to make. On the one hand, you have a potential dream job in Florida, but on the other hand, you really love California and don't want to move. Ultimately, it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons and decide what's best for you. If you do decide to make a move, my friend recommended looking into cross-country movers to help with the process. They said it made the transition much smoother and less stressful. Good luck with your decision, and I hope everything works out for you!

i can never leave here think it would crush my soul
Buried alive. I know the feeling.
I get literally sick when away from this island for more than a week. Skin breaks out, headaches, digestion gets all messed up. No joke.
Yeah - definitely a bot - based on his other 2 posts. But a human one? That's tougher to decipher. I lean towards yes bc bots earlier posts were from awhile back. So IND got bott'ed.
I love this - transcends boards and translates to a lot of things in life.
Well, someone hasn't been south in a while, no driving on beach at Anastasia . Some dummy ran over two girls. It's now a walk to undisclosed surf break you are probably thinking of. looong walk or bike there now my friend. But 100% still beach camping all over this area.
WELCOME TO FLORIDUH.
as the ole' erBB likes to call us. We are the same age. You made the right move.
You will have to drive a bit but good surf near there happens all the time. I recommend getting really good at the local buoys near you and finding those spots. Don't go to the most popular spots near there unless you are a really competitive surfer, the young guns are fairly aggro, plenty of off the beaten path spots near there you will find. You can surf almost every day, you just need a longboard in the quiver and not expect epic everyday. And if you're not good at surfing beachbreak closeouts in shallow water....you will be now
PR is a super easy trip and has all the surf you can handle. 2 hours flight....jetblue, about the time you finish the 2 nd cocktail you're there. Trust me, I've been going there for years and have literally wished for smaller surf on many occasions. It has anything you can want and probably a few spots you won't even think about paddling out at... Tres, Gas, T-rock, Looks like Hawaii when it's firing there. I was a hard pass on paddling out at those spots. All rights and way out of my comfort zone.
Plenty of less deadly places.
Cash is US so no prob there, no passport hassle. (insane fishing in PR)
Fishing here in FL is amazing too, if you like to fish it will be easier. I fish on the flat days and surf on the good days.....
usually intracoastal but you can fish off the beach. I would say find a good local guide and build a relationship. Been using the same one here for many years..... lot better than trying to find a good spot to fish. Pay a pro, learn where they are and how to fish them the correct way.
the Florida crew has chimed in here.....they know what's up. I don't disagree with anything the FL Crew said really.
what up Sharky! Glad to see you're still on here, been a while.
Peace and waves fellas!
thanks for the entertainment, needed a little laugh today.

honestly, it's become a little mantra of mine. especially since I had my son. with what little free time I have, if it ain't fook yeah it's fook no. which one of you said it? @ghostshaper @retodd, I can't remember.I love this - transcends boards and translates to a lot of things in life.
I am admittedly struggling to like it here in FL - Gonna ride it out for a while longer - are there ever waves here - FU$K.
