    Looks like fun! I'd love to try it. It has to be awesome when you stick a wave just right and get a great ride.

  • Kim 7.11.07
     

    ah yes ...
    Alexander would be agreeing whole heartedly with you on that aspect of surfing Boyd !!!!
    have a great day with your painting :)

    Is surfing easier then it looks?
    I can understand the rush surfers get when they are out there!

    It always surprises me that surfing is so popular in the UK - the sea is always SO COLD!!
    I have friends who swim in the sea off Dorset every summer. I only venture in when I am on holiday - somewhere HOT!!
    Surfing does look fun though I must admit! Great photo of your son - great minds think alike - I have just posted some of my boys!

    hi Keeyit
    exciting pretty much sums it up eh :D


    as they say...Cooper ...it's never too late to follow a passion....

    I'd describe Mick Fanning's site as one of those unique arty type designs that is only possible to design with dreamweaver or flash or something very much beyond my technical prowess....
    I think you'll enjoy fluro....brevity perfecto !!!!


    hi MMO
    I think it's harder than it looks......Alexander's been surfing for quite a few years now...and I think it takes a while to manage the board and the waves


    do they really surf over there Diane??
    they must be Britons !!!!
    I could never have imagined surfing over there in your English weather.....gosh I don't think I was ever without a jumper....brrrrr...

    It sure looks fun and exciting to be able to ride the surf. I just don't wan to go down under, oops, under the high wave water!

  • Kim 8.11.07
     

    haha Fruity...
    some of those waves can be incredibly high....it's not a sport for the faint hearted in fact Alexander has had stitches in his head twice from being hit with his surfboard... :0

  • Jackie 8.11.07
