Ahhh reading this is making me nostalgic for my university days when i was in the surf society.
We went surfing in wales at Abersoch many times and down to Newquay fistral beach twice on summer week long surf trips. I always remember, perhaps strangely, my vegitarinism trumping everyone on one Newquay trip as they'd all got giant steaks in a local restaurant at lunch time, then had the 'meat sweats' and slept for two hours on the beach, while i had lasagne and salad and was right back out ridding waves within 30 mins 😂
Fun times. Unfortunately, my back injury means i couldn't even make the leap from prone to feet as you catch the wave these days. I'd be fckd and then have to spend months on pain meds if i even tried, believe me even after years of gentle yoga i just can't move that way anymore. Disc injuries are a game changer 😒
Oh well, i can live vicariously through your ocean adventures, and I still have my scuba diving. Have fun surfing 🌊
What lovely memories @raj808 . I know your back has caused you much misery for being so active in your younger years. I'm not sure how I could deal with that. I'm glad you have got scuba diving!!! I am not sure whata I'd do without the ocean.
Yeah my Dad was vego - still is - in the '70's and was fitter than all the people he surfed with. People would laugh at him but he was the healthy one and stuck to his guns!
