When I was in my early 30's taking a header or faceplant was something I could usually shake off, numb with a beer, and keep going. Only feel it a little the next day. In my late 30's those same stunts put me in the hospital once, out of commission more than once, and thinking I had been hit by a truck when I woke up the next morning.

Now that I'm starting into the 40's I'm thinking we'll see more surfing and a few "I can still do it" WB passes when the water is PERFECT.

What about playing on the surfboard at WB length at around 15mph? We were doing that a lot last summer and it was pretty fun. Long live the skurfer!
