Unfortunately, its not behind the boat. But then again, where better to surf than Hawaii.

I'm jealous. Enjoy Hawaii!
We just got back from Punta Cana where I had big plans to surf again, 10 minutes of boogie boarding to warming up and I was toast.Quote:

Then paddle to my girlfriend and grab her board with his foot then drag her along scooping me up along the way with the other foot and tow both of back the start...
The guy was is awesome shape, fast enough to tow 2 of us faster than most single surfers... :-)
You have to paddle with real surfing.Quote:

But you just want to go back out after you catch a ride that long. Ribs still hurt a bit from paddling out.
Two suggestions.Quote:

Now I am depressed! I LOVE Oahu!Quote:

I sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo need to go on vacation...
Not that I don't enjoy 36 degrees and rain
Driving to work in the dark
Coming home in the dark
Filthy vehicles
Huge electric and gas bills for heat
Suiting up in polar gear and drysuits to go play for a few hours...
Well, it ain't Hawaii, but it's 72 and sunny here today in N. FL. I'm busy this w/e and can't get my crew to go out when the water is this cold (about 56 right now) but last week I met some folks that go out yearround. May start doing some "winter" riding.
77 in the CTX right now and I have the same problems Kane. well with the exception of one, my butt's not getting in 56 degree water either

it's just like the 90's don't feel good to you PNW guys. 90 degree water on a 112 degree day is delightful!!
