This is a fun thread...
My first surf experience was in 1975 when I was 4 years old. My folks took my little brother and I to 4th St South. My dad pushed me into a wave on a styrofoam belly board, I was hooked on the feeling immediately. My first stand up session was Spring Break 1984 behind the old Cocoa Beach Holiday Inn on a borrowed Cocoa Beach Surfboards board. Don't remember the exact length (maybe 6'0") but it must've been 3 inches thick. I recall a slightly older dude making fun of the board! I never heard of that label before or since. At any rate, I stood up on the first wave I paddled into, not because I was a natural but more likely because I'd been sponging for years. About 2 months after that my dad dropped me and a couple friends off at Islander Hut early one morning. I had in the interim acquired a 5'11" Canyon twin fin shaped by Rusty. The waves were head high and clean, probably an early season tropical swell (nobody knew where the waves came from back then). I caught a long clean right where I was under control and trimmed, wall flying by, offshore wind in my ears. I'll never forget that moment. One of the older guys from my neighborhood was out and hooted at my wave. That day is in my top 10, right up there with my kids being born. One common theme in these stories is mom and dad taking us to the beach and getting us started. I've done that for my kids. Keep it up parents! ------------------------- "If I say it's safe to surf this beach, captain, then it's safe to surf this beach!" Edited: 08/18/2018 at 07:37 AM by SurfCaster |
