I surf only on vacation. In a very good year I go surfing for 4-5 weeks, thereoff 3 weeks in summer, with a zero wave potential of 3-5 days and sometimes knee-high for rest of it. And now I'm turning 60, sit outside (up to chest or head high) in the middle of the pack, get some waves, I'm definitely not the best in the line-up, but not the worst too, I'm accepted by all as a decent surfer, especially by the intermediate ladies and even by some locals, and after each surf my smile goes from the left to the right ear Click to expand... 20 Years in - nice! Not easy to start at 40, and plenty of surfers who started 20 years before you haven't made it to 60. You got 30 plus years to go... |
