| 99310 | 2756 | So.... How old is everyone? | 76 | FryedGuy | Jul 16, 2016 | 2016-07-16T15:39:03-0400 | 31... It's no wonder why I ended up taking a liking to you guys. The millennials just don't get it.... Kids these days! There was a video recently about Gerry Lopez living hours from the coast. Waking up far before the break of day to make the long venture from the mountains to the coast and how he appreciated the whole experiance. Being from the east coast, I and many others feel that a lust and longing for waves developes because of a common lack of swell. It's simple really, you want what you can't have. And east coasters want it bad! 3 hours drive to catch waves... Easy. Guys from NJ would drive to Killington(6hours) to get a good day of snowboarding in then drive home that night... Madness! I once caught a dawn patrol in OCNJ then high tailed it to the Ponconos to shred the gnar in the afternoon for a true surf-N-turf delight. For some reason that doesn't sound so appealing to me anymore:?. Maybe it also has something to do with the way people back east live, with their no B.S. work ethics, I wonder how that translates to passion for surf or other things for that matter. In places where waves aren't so illusive, people get surfed out... Come Feb or March, after a long run of swell on the west coast, you can find empty lineups which would have been teaming with surfers just weeks prior. Either way it's all good!!! All hail the gray hairs!!! Thanks for showing us the way! |
