Wish the waves were more accessible out here!

I wish I could surf... I've only attempted it once. I had a rought first time - I think I was a bit to overconfident going into it. It ended in disaster -- As my friend (and attempted suring instructor for the day) said, "dude, you suck". I wanted to try it again last time I was in Hawaii (like almost 4 years ago), but it didn't work out between everything else we were doing out there.

Surfing takes a LONG time to learn, I'd almost say 2 years, just to start surfing. But it is, absolutely, one of the most humbling, rewarding, & empowering things I have had a chance to experience.

If you don't have a ton of time for playing in the waves, I'd suggest Body boarding. That way you get it all: Catching waves, having fun, get sun burned...and take a beating.

I think the day I tried surfing was one of the most frustrating days of my life. Like I said, I was over confident... I had at least tried just about everything else I could do in or on the water and I consider myself to be pretty athletic. But surfing kicked my ass. I'd love to do it again though.
 
My father learned to surf in Hawaii in the early 1940's and passed it on to his kids. I've been surfing my whole life. I've surfed all over the world, and I've worked on surfing TV programs all over the world. Surfing is a lifestyle, rather than just a sport. When asked who the best surfer in the world was, a few years back, a well-know surfer replied: "The best surfer is the one who's having the most fun!". I own a collection of eight surfboards. Producing and shooting surfing programs is almost as fun as surfing - although when the waves are good I'd much rather be out there. All surfers owe a debt of gratitude to Hawaiians for sharing the culture and lifestyle with the world.

Surfing is much harder than it looks, so no worries Jeff, I've seen many a great athlete be humbled when they first try it...

This is a broad thread that has wandered away from the sticker contest and snowboards, but hey, snowboarding is closer related to surfing than it is to skiing. Maybe RED will also have a sticker contest for a limited edition RED surfboard...that would be waaaaaaaaaaaay coooooooooooool!

It's way cool that RED has produced these limited production snowboards...and the graphics on them seriously rock! Someone will be a happy owner of those, but since only a few will be made, I'd seriously think about making them "wallhangers" if you win one. There are lots of good snowboards around to put on the mountain, but when it's a limited edition like those I think I'd hang it on a wall in my office as a trophy piece.

Mine's on the wall already!!!! They turned out great, J! :watsup:
 
163!!?? I ride 158, damn. haha, I guess I would just have to mount it on the wall :)
 
Damn, I leave for a week and miss the contest. I could do fun things with stickers, but must admit I haven't ordered any. I could do even more fun things with that snowboard, but hey I won't complain, I just had one of the best snowboarding weeks in long time. Three days of snowing followed by three days of sun, up in the swiss alps! I still found fresh powder after three days, I don't know what everybody else was doing, but I'm sure glad they left me all the freshness.

Cheers,
Damien

Jah-RED,

I don't know if you know these guys or have seen their "footy", but MATCHSTICK Films shot some incredible ski/snowboard footage up at Whiss(tler) of riders hitting a park kicker that is shot from a heli at approximate height of the riders and over-cranked. :watsup:

It's about the sickest, most beautiful, unique footage I have seen in a ski or snowboard film(soo :bleh: much style). Standard films hired them to shoot some stuff for their film last year or the year B4...

anyways, like you said Whistler IS still open in April....:detective2:
 
I'm planning to send either a 9" buzzsaw sticker or a 20" sticker where no RED sticker has gone before... Hehehe... You guys are all going to enjoy the pictures of that snowboard on my wall. HAHAHAHAHAHAA...

Not for me... Anyway, I'm not so sure I can pull off my idea. In fact, the timing of certain events are almost a guarantee that I can't. So I'm still thinking other possibilities. Do you guys think two 20" stickers would fit on Rosie O'Donnell's butt cheeks? I suppose I could send her two of them with a real kiss-arse <hehe> fan letter and request she send back a picture or two. :mail1: OK, that was bad... I'm too tired to control my thought processes, I'm going to sleep now.
 
So, when does this contest officially start?
