That's amazing. Tnx for posting it.

I'm guessing surfing is one of those sports that when you see stuff like this, you kinda assume you'll just jump on board and in a few days be riding monster waves and hitting tubes and it'll be awesome!

But suspect it is likely more that I'll find out I can't barely paddle out on the board, let alone stand on it, or further more begin riding wicked waves for quite some time. lol

Prob. much like how golf went for me recently. Been watching Tiger Woods for years, thought I'd be great! It looks so easy. Next time someone asks me to go play a round, think I'll just snap a few clubs, punch myself in the face, and save alot of time and frustration.

I do want to try it tho...

haha yea. That's about what I expected. Realistically, I doubt true surfing is in my forseeable future as we are so far away from the ocean, and even when going to university, still doubt it would be close enough given my plans.

What I do think is possible, and what many here do as we are in the center of the 3 largest Great Lakes, with access to lots of water and wind, can see Lake Superior from our house, is windsurfing. I see them doing it quite a bit in the bay, and know it is getting fairly popular here. I'm guessing that might help a person prepare a bit for the true surfing some time down the line. I think the gear for windsurfing is pretty expensive tho too and our season of summer is very short, so, who knows, maybe next year.

Firstly great vids Andre, some of those wipeouts were insane!

YB you could get into kit surfing, that looks like heaps of fun. I havent tried it yet but hope to soon enough. (just found this vid of combining both kite surfing and surfing)

Golfs funny like that but when you hit that one or two nice shots its always what brings you back out to play again.
