Reasons to surf small waves
Haavard N. Jakobsen
1)There are no big waves
2)It's been flat for waaay too long
3)Your parents in law(and grandparents) are coming over for the weekend
4)Your job sucks
5)Every ASer is getting HEAPS of good surf(or so it seams...)
Atleast I got wet. Think I got 4 waves in a 3 hour session, the best
being maybe hip high... Atleast the weather and water was nice,
so I surfed bootless for once. The jellyfishes saw their oppertunity.
Nice red rash. Just to put my 1m/5sec swell in perspective,
Stadt(still in Norway) had 4m/12seconds. Sometimes life sucks.

before it gets too cold and dark up there, there should be some pretty
solid low pressure systems around Faroes aiming themselves at you
coming soon. You'll be getting some of the real Arctic swell coming to
visit soon as well.

Well I made a name for myself in surfing in the 70's and in Hawaii, most
people would have heard of me.
Actually I do a bit of windsurfing now and am a writer.
Although I'm planning a comeback.
Right now I'm getting in shape by bodysurfing also.

The thing is my spots only catch southern swell(and some western)
I live in the wrong place of Norway too...
Still, the low pressure systems are lineing up nicely and I *will*
get small(sigh) surf for uh, say the next 3 days.

: Plus I can go faster on smaller waves than can regular surfers.
All that's why a fair number of "regular" surfers, in other words real
surfers, aren't too impressed with that level of sailboarding, or think
that it has much to do with surfing.

Similar perhaps, but different too.

Yes, instead of getting some exercise paddling, you get to be part of the
rigging.
Going upwind is similar to surfing in some ways, but different in some
important other ways. Let's face it, the two activities are not the same.
: I have surfed and not windsurfed during the last two sessions, because
: wavesailing can be very hard on the equipment and shoulder area.
Right, this is one of the big differences - sailboarding gear can get
pricey. Also, sailboarding seems to cause more physical problems than
surfing does.
If I were a few decades younger I'd definitely take up sailboarding - the
Bodega Bay are is excellent for it, especially in spring and early summer,
when we have 20 knot plus winds just about every afternoon. But I'd just
as soon not inflict the abuse on these aging joints.
I'm always surprised how few sailboarders get around to trying it on the
ocean. Most seem content to tack back and forth across the flat water of
the harbor. They definitely get up some speed, but it looks pretty
repetitious from my standpoint, especially compared to surfing good, clean
head-high or better waves.

"Assume" me all you want, but you're comparing apples and oranges. I
never said sailboarding isn't aerobic. I just said, as you'll see above,
that you get to be part of the rigging. Surfing's degree of being "hard
on my system" isn't a big part of its appeal for me.
: Well, have you tried it? For me, the only difference between shooting the
: curl, not big, on a right is that I have to hold up the boom and sail. You can
: even walk the nose, parallel stance, slide slip, etc.
Yes, I have tried it, albeit at the beginner level. And, as you
acknowledge above, you have to hold up the boom and sail. In other words,
you're part of the rigging, which I find inhibits hotdogging more than a
little. The amount of time required to set up and put away a sailboard is
another downside, imo.
: Surfing experience is definitely a bonus for wave sailing. However, if I hit

: more convenient to just surf and not worry about rigging up and down.
: I used to think that windsurfing was whimpy. Then I saw a guy do a front flip
: aka loop on tv. That caught my interest. Next, I stopped by the Gorge and had
: my butt kicked for about two hours. I was hooked.
Getting your butt kicked hooked you. OK.
: If I lived in southern California, I would want to windsurf during the blown
: out afternoons.
N. California's NW winds make S. Cal's look like soft breezes. I don't
think sailboarding's wimpy - it's just that, as mentioned before, I'm not
willing to risk the downtime from surfing, diving and other activities I
value more, and find to be less repetitious. Also, if there's a good
swell and I'm already surfed out from dawn patrol, sailboarding's the last
thing I'd want to do in the afternoon. Give me a ride on a mountain bike
to work the legs, or maybe a pool to swim a bit, then a guitar and a beer,
please, thank you.
BTW, I consider a front flip and a loop to be quite different maneuvers.
In my lexicon, a loop is a 360. But then, I'm a surfer. Wouldn't mind
being a sailor too, but I'd like that to be on a boat.

Amen to that. And BTW there is nothing but *nothing* more dreadful and
hideous than the sight of a longboarder doing that frantic, lame hopping.
When I see folks hopping on longboards I think, "Jeez- all that planing
surface and he STILL can't get any glide going. Someone put that guy out of
his misery quickly!"
Just don't do it, folks. It is a vile and iniquitous practice that is an
affront to the sea gods and to style conscious surfers everywhere. You won't
find it on any page of the Book of Style.

With all due respect, I thought you surfed for function rather than looks.
I'm not saying that the hop is necessarily more functional, but how it looks
should be irrelevant.

The place I usually surf often breaks outside, hits a deeper area where it
stops breaking, and then reforms inside. Sometimes the "hop" gets me
through to the inside. Sure, if I was a better surfer, maybe I could get
through that section in a more "stylish" manner. But I'm not, so I don't.

Gonna go that route on my next longboard Bob (no, not a sail, more board
volume).
> How about a better wave?
C'mon Will. Do you think people choose bad waves intentionally?
>Or a better style?
I'm out there for fun and to fulfill my needs. If somebody finds my "style"
to be lacking (which is doubtful since there's usually nobody watching),
they can always look in another direction.

Second the motion, although I didn't see the earlier post and

: What? I would think that hopping would slow down a longboard?
Well...all hopping does, as far as I can tell, is create these
mini-fall lines that allow you to accumulate a minute amount of momentum.
On a very small board, it may also prevent the thing simply sinking by
keeping it moving. I suppose it's also "something to do" while the wave
is mushing. But it seems to work as well, or as badly, on a log as on a
little stick. Tell us guys, why do you do it?

Will Borgeson

: should be irrelevant.
Disagree completely. I surf for fun more than for function or form, but
they matter too. I'd place function over form, but form matters hugely as
well, to me, in surfing. Fortunately, most functional maneuvers are also
fun, and mostly look good to me. Surfing is in many was akin to a dance,
and form or style is of course quite central to dance. For example,
smooth but radical carving, timed functionally for that particular wave,
looks way better to me than a zillion ampy turns executed regardless of
what the wave's doing. Also, if a wave starts to poop out and there's no
tasty section inside of the flat spot, why bother?
: The place I usually surf often breaks outside, hits a deeper area where it
: stops breaking, and then reforms inside. Sometimes the "hop" gets me
: through to the inside. Sure, if I was a better surfer, maybe I could get
: through that section in a more "stylish" manner. But I'm not, so I don't.
No need to put yourself down. What the hop's probably doing for you is
keeping a shortboard from sinking in the flat spot, by keeping it moving.
A higher-volume board might not have the problem. Maybe you could do some
turns instead of the hop, to keep the momentum up. On a longboard, glide
will usually get a surfer through flat spots. But again the inside reform
has to be pretty nice to get me to bother in such a situation. In other
words, mere length of ride doesn't matter that much to me.
: C'mon Will. Do you think people choose bad waves intentionally?
Sorry, I meant a better surf spot, or a better day at that spot. But that
raises an interesting point. I think wave selection is a key factor in
how rides end up, and I think we should all be getting better and better
at choosing good waves.
: I'm out there for fun and to fulfill my needs. If somebody finds my "style"
: to be lacking (which is doubtful since there's usually nobody watching),
: they can always look in another direction.
No need to be defensive. To me the hop feels weird as well as looks lame,
so it's not a habit I want to acquire. YMMV, obviously, so hop away if
that's your choice. I'm just saying there are other ways to get past flat
spots, and that they feel better and look better to me than the hop.

: Well said. Of course, as long as you leave out the music, I think it is

Whoa, I'm all relieved here. Not.
"Leave out the music?" What's that about? The rhythm is in the wave,
there's drums in the crunch of whitewash, and you are/you improvise the
melody. The ride is the dance. Just one way of looking at it.
This gender paranoia bit...fear of the feminine side of things...fear also
of music because it's somehow perceived as feminine...is downright weird!
Whether it's Wagner or Sublime or Dick Dale or the Allman Bros, music can
be ballsy as hell, if it wants to be. And, I think music and surfing go
together hand in glove. How many of us don't hear music when we're
waiting for a set? Like, the last tune you heard before you paddled out?
Or simply a favorite tune? Not many, I'll bet.

How many people do this? My guess is that it may be lots.
I'm not talking about singing at the top of your lungs; I'm
talking more about just so only you can hear it, or maybe
even just sing it in your mind without vocalizing.
I do it all the time. One lyric, which I have mentioned
before, is "Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on." when
I see some good sets on the horizon rolling in.
In a recent surf report, I mentioned being tossed around
in the water like a message in a bottle. That was exactly
my feeling when in the water, so when that thought occurred
to me, I naturally started singing "message in a bottle"
by The Police.
The lyric I used to have in my sig is another one
I often sing while surfing. It is by Midnight Oil and
slightly paraphrased (I think) goes: "...a place where
you forget, you get wet, it's free/ You get high, you're
alive.....Surf's up tonight."
Sometimes the situation dictates the songs I sing, but
other times it's just what is in my head that I had
been listening too recently. All I know, is I *never*
make it through a session without singing (or at least
*thinking*) a few songs. Music and surfing definitely
are closely related; it's just more obvious to some than
others.

Yeah, there was a dork who used to paddle out with a waterproof "personal
stereo". We called him "Loony Toons."
Frankly, the music in one's own head is a lot more fun, and safer.
I don't ride longboards exclusively, by the way. When it gets big and
crunchy, I switch out to a gunny thruster.

Those mp3 players would be perfect for bringing into the water. No moving
parts, small, good sound. I think you can buy those things for like less
than $100 now. Don't know how to waterproof the player or headphones,
though.

Back in the 70's my friend Frank used to talk about having
"Storm Troopers" by Ted Nugent stuck in his head..."Get
ready, Get ready, storm troopers coming..." (substitute
'storm troopers' with 'big waves')
I remember an article years ago in a surf rag talking about
the 10 worst songs to have stuck in your head waiting
during a lull... I think #1 was "Ebony and Ivory" with
Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder...
I flash on music in the water all the time...
I surfed at Secos this morning pre-dawn and couldn't help
but think of Sheryl Crow singing "'Til the sun comes up
over Santa Monica Blvd" as I watched the sun rise over the
Santa Monica Mtns.

so AS is nothing but slow sophomores huh.......hmmmmm....bob, you are just one
of those guys who cant fit in anywhere. you lack the intelligence to even see
how ignorant you really are. its like a one lap race around a track - the gun
goes off, everyone takes off but you. your mind has no idea whats going on and
cant think quick enough to grasp the situation....suddenly, you snap. you look
behind you and see everyone running toward you, you look down and see the
start/finish line, and assume you have won! you trot off the field high-fiving
yourself while everyone else just scratches their heads.
you are seriously lost, my friend.

bob, i am really tired of this. are you senile or something? no bob, i dont
have a picture of me on the nose. happy? does that make me a poser? i do ride
the nose, bob, but have been longboarding only 2 years now. i am sorry that i
am not a celebrity who can afford to have photographers follow me around and
take pictures of me surfing so that i can have pictures of every possible thing
i can do on a wave. i am usually the one taking pictures. i have been surfing
since 1973 bob, and from the moronic drivel that leaks from your orifice i have
vastly more experience riding many more and bigger waves in far more places
than you have. so stop with the ridiculous calling out, bob. is this the
response you wanted? is this what you have been hopelessly trolling me for the
last week on? if so, believe me, this response is far from classifying as
being hooked. its more like you cast so many times you eventually foul-hooked
me in the back and i pulled you into the water and gave you a damn good, long,
hard knuckle noogie on your head, IF you have any hair.
i have surfed with 7 people from this group in the last 2 months, if i were a
poser i think the world would know it by now.
bite me, sincerely bob, i like you better when you were dead. at least you
showed signs of humor then.
"he died surfing some special wave in california and was wiped out into a set
of pilings"
now THAT was funny!

Bawb in all realities, a guy who surfs a lake....then weighs in with all his
"LIMITED''
surf experience from California in his teen years, to readily make blanket
statements
about Surf Size in California, and the apparent power of the breaks there is
a KOOK.
Give up the nonsense, as in focusing on your past, or take the conseqeunces.
BTW, BAWBY, I spent my first six years out of H.S. surfing the North Shore
of Oahu, completed
the surfers dream, etc, etc,then moved back to Southern California, but you
dont seeing me going around making Comments and trying to be an Expert
about a place I havent been back to in almost 20 years.....
All the same, I have more experience in Hawaii, than you ever did in
California.
Bawb, you ACT the KOOK and POSER, --and you are paying the PRICE!

Actually, after reading Ralph Leighton's 'Tuva or Bust' concerning the last

description of yourself than I ever could have.
If you could just take two steps back from
yourself, and read your posts, you would
recognise that _you_ are the subject exactly
fitting the words you wrote below.
C'mon, SURFTWIT, it's time to 'fess up.
Someone has _got_ to be paying you to continually
make such a complete and utter fool of yourself.
I mean, I didn't use to pay much attention to Bob.
But when pitted against your idiocy, he suddenly
looked like a champion. Maybe he's the one paying
you. It's inconceivable that someone could be as
truly moronic as you present yourself to be in this ng.

Get a rubber or two an pull it over the player,
then tie it up over the chord and put some

nose ride in an overhead barrel is another story. But simply going up
there isn't all that big a deal. It's basically a stall. Feels awesome,
to be sure, since it's a lot like walking on water without having to take
steps. What's lame imo is when people insist on walking up there at the
wrong time (on the shoulder), pearl, and fall off.
Running to the nose is also a cool way to catch a wave you almost missed.
Then, if you're good, you can turn from the nose, then ease back into the
sweet spot for max trim.
For a long time, I really admired the surfing of Terry Jones, a Ventura CA
surfer who rode for Tom Hale and worked in his shop. Terry had a way of
dancing up and down the board so gracefully...always in trim...cross steps
up and back. Won quite a few contests, although his style was very
soulful. When in the shop, he was usually to be found playing some tasty
music on guitar. Wonder what ever happened to him.

to his new place at the point. Why don't _you_
find a way to remove yourself from as for a wee
spell SURFMANIC; look up the meanings of
"perception" and "discernment," and give all your
nasty fixations and obsessions a chance to loosen
their deathgrip on you.
