Surfing with waves in the sea

Surfing Would be an Awesome Sport to Try

I have always wanted to try surfing. I have used boogie boards, body boards, and skim boarded, but never surfed.

I have always wanted to try surfing. I have used boogie boards, body boards, and skim boarded, but never surfed. Living in Southern California most of my life, this is somewhat surprising.

I have had some pretty gnarly wipeouts though in the ocean, which have given me thought for pause when it comes to going far out in the ocean. I keep saying I am going to learn every summer and it just never seems to happen.

I absolutely love snowboarding by contrast. I grew up skiing Big Bear, California, an area of California, then lived in Mammoth Lakes for three years. I don’t know what it is about snowboarding, but it is my favorite drug, much cheaper than therapy!

Maybe one of these days I will have one of my bros see if they can help me figure out surfing. I would probably really like it!

Thanks for reading Bunchiesblog! Keep it real out there! Check out some of my other recent articles!

    Surfing looks like it would be a lot of fun. Extremely difficult but fun.

    I could see myself getting all spiritual about it, as I get pretty spiritual about the ocean in general.

      Yeah I am that way with snowboarding already. It is so relaxing when you just let go.

    Ah surfing! Husband and I lived in Australia for a time pretty much ON the beach but never got around to trying surfing. It looks like so much fun though. The closest I have come is to try skateboarding.

      It looks really fun! I am just wary of the ocean. Where did you live in Australia?

    I’m following you and your posts are very interesting. To be honest, I use my “English Lessons and Translation Tips” website to help other Brazilians to learn American English. I’d love to make my website known. I appreciate your website. We are exceptions in a world where most people dislike writing and reading blogs and books.

      That is great! You are right, writing and reading longer texts is becoming a less and less common skill. I will follow you as well!

    It’s harder than it looks. I have done just about anything that you stand on some sort of board. I had a bit of a time on a surfboard.

      Yeah that is what a lot of people say. It takes a lot of core strength.

    I mean surfing is sooo limited and even if you have the accessibility it’s hard to learn and you need the board which is not cheap :/

      Limited in what way?

      1. Aditya Ananth Avatar

        Limited I mean region wise. Not every sea/ocean around the world has the required conditions to surf. Some have higher tides risk and other problems. Plus u need to live near the coast too which again a big problem
