What other athletic endeavors have you involved in?

I completely agree, however the convenience of indoor climbing is a huge plus. I climb 2-3 days a week at an indoor gym after work because it's easier that going out to J Tree, Tram, Stoney, etc. 2-3 times a week.

 

Currently:
Mountain biking
Road biking
Running
Swimming (just started back)
Hiking
Motorcycle/Quad riding
Target shooting (noncompetitive)
Jet skiing

In high school I was in cross country and gymnastics. Played Little League ball for 4 years. Surfed for close to 30 years but as previously stated by others I grew bored with it. I boxed Golden Gloves for 4 years but towards the end had my bell rung to many times and had to stop.
People were convinced something was wrong with me as a kid because I could never stop. Used to go from sun up til I collapsed. Man, I wish I had half that energy now.

 

Some road riding.
Cyclo cross racing.
Runner and weight training.
Pick-up basketball/practice jump shots.
Used to play pick-up soccer.
Used to play baseball for the city league and high school.
Used to ride my Honda ATC back in the day.

Want to start kayaking.
Want to start SUPing.

 

My father put me on a motorcycle when I was 9, rode motorcycles in the desert until I was 20. Then rode street until I was 29. Fast forward to 2006, got a full rigid mtn. bike for commuting. Check into what Mtn biking was about, got F/S mtn bike joined Thursday night ride late June 2008. Been having a blast ever since.

 

Please dont.

 

Why its an insanely good workout?

 

Fine, I will rephrase. Please don't do it in the ocean or at least not where I surf.

 

What about those uni kooks? We gotta shut those idiots out of the trails too.

 

SUPing and 29ers - which will still be popular in five years? (I have a hunch one, but not the other).

 

How many borritos do you want to bet that it is 29ers?

 

Extreme Bacci.

 

That was the one I was thinking... SUPboards are a nightmare to handle, maybe worth the effort, but I don't expect to see them much in five years. Bacci? Oh yeah!

 

Ok fine I will come find you on my 11'6" long board and you still won't get waves LOL

 

We should absolutely do this. As long as we don't roll a keg onto the sand we will be fine. :beer:

Anyone else up for an STR San-o day??

 

I am down if we can do it during the week...

Whats up with you all giving up up surfing - i guess if its a long drive to get to the beach i can see how small waves can be a drag - but you gota love the sun and water and all the other good stuff at the beach

 

Mine mostly had to do with the 4 different soulder injuries in the last year and a half. Hard to surf when you can't use your shoulder.

 

Surfing 1-4 days a month
Crossfit 3 days a week
MTB 2 days a week.

Keeps me busy. Any other crossfitters here? Yes, it's a cult.

 

Surfing for 22 years- sponsored for longboarding for 8 years, but not anymore, now I make my own boards and surf for fun.
Roadie
Hockey, but I have not played in over a year
Boy Scout leader for my sons troop- Lots of hiking, canoeing, cycling, rock climbing, various team sports, orienteering (Scouting is a lot more athletic than people think.

I would be up for San O, but all I have are short boards right now

 

The SUPing had nothing to do with catching more waves, if you are riding either of those boards, there is probably a reason you need the crutch.

In general I have found most people who ride SUPs to be unaware of their surroundings and and lacking in control over their equipment. Thats fine on a 6'2" but problematic when you have the largest board in the water.

Anyways we are both in Long Beach, so anytime you are free to surf let me know and we can grab some waves.

 

I am sure someone could scrounge up a board for you, or a few of us could make the walk south. Would you mind posting up some of your shapes?
