You might be surprised to know that I’m a horrible surfer.
I love it, but I’m horrible and whenever I’m travelling internationally people ask me about surfing and I have to admit how terrible I am at it.
Growing up we just never surfed, spent a lot of time at the beach but normally with the Life Saving Club (often called the Surf Club but has nothing to do with surfing). My buddies here on the Central Coast grew up surfing and they are all awesome and the love taking the mickey out of me.
Saying that, I’m comfortable in the ocean and get in trouble because I have gone out on more than one occasion where the surf was too big for my surfing skills but I didn’t think too much of it. So yesterday morning I went for an early surf with some of the boys. After a few hours of surfing I just wanted to ditch the board so I dumped it on the beach and just swam out to where they were.
I was wearing my wet suit when surfing but I was nice and warm by the time I went for a swim so I pulled off my wet suit and just went in my black speedos. Nobody cared and I was just hanging out the boys out the back and we saw a shark!!!!
They boys told me it was only a Thresher Shark and that they see them all the time.
That was still enough for me being out in deep water wearing nothing but a pair of black arena speedos.
I made it back to shore no probs but I might stick to my end of the beach – hahaha.
The 2nd pic is of a thresher shark, really long tail on them and this first pic is of a guy body surfing wearing a pair of Turbo speedos – he must have some extra room in the front because he has some HUGE BALLS riding a wave like that!!!
Day after Thanksgiving here in Colorado and it has been a pretty lazy day just working. Kip and I had Thanksgiving dinner in a nearby town and I drove so I didn’t have my first drink until I got home around 10pm.
Nothing too exciting to report, it is a weird time of year up here. It is crazy busy with tourists in town but at the same time there isn’t enough snow to get excited about snowboarding.
Did anyone go out and buy anything today? I haven’t left the house but I might do some online shopping tonight. Hmmm, what do I need? More speedos of course – hahaha.
Kind of a grey old day here in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and I’m up early and doing some house chores…. very boring indeed.
This summer I have been getting out and about and swimming a bunch but I really haven’t improved my fitness at all. I think that should change before winter really sets in.
I’ve got some good road trips planned later this month as well which I’m excited about – going to be a bit of a lull for a week or so but then it will be much more fun.
Anyone know of a group of guys into speedo fitness like these guys below?
And some motivation not to have that 2nd Oreo for dessert.
