Don't know if we have any other surfers on the forum, but I thought I would share my new surfboard here.
I did a lot of surfing during junior high and high school.....some summers during college, and then sporadically after that.....and hardly any in the last 10 years or so. I also needed another activity, as we have gotten older and with families, my beach volleyball group plays a lot less, and playing tennis has been spotty.....plus, surfing is easier on the joints.
Last year, I did some surfing during the summer. I am out of shape, but it was fun being in the water. So I decided this summer I would get a new longboard that was easier to paddle and ride than my old shortboard. Also, I have always bought used boards, this time I went for a new one.....9' longboard. Here are a couple of pics of it before it gets messy with wax.
