I'm in the same boat and dreading the future.... so I'm gonna go hard until I burn out. Then I'll be in my rockin chair sayin'.."ehhh you kids these days dont know shit about surfin" .......... IMO, if it has a motor, it's not really surfing

^ I thought that way to until I met "Hurricane Kelly" in LA, a C.B. transplant (small world), he was more surf stoked than any grom but just could not paddle without pain, he could ride was a decent LB'r but was physically shot. the time was getting near to hang it up and he knew it. I'd give him a pass if I saw him motoring back out then taking his turn. Some on here will remember "Al" the Vero local who surfed the inlet every day @ dawn. 1/2 of his rides were just prone, never stood up just bellied a big wave gun across the rights...I miss seeing Al. Wonder if he would have surfed longer with a wavejet type board..everyone would have given him a pass

yeah, I currently have a shredded lambrum in my shoulder (multiple injuries) and close to bone-on-bone in one of my knees (multiple injuries and shitty family genetics) and I'm in my 40s ..... hoping for some serious medical advancements in the near future, cause I still go harder than alot of the "young" guys ........ *speaking of which, seriously considering some stem cell therapy this winter if anyone has any input, it would be appreciated
