    Some feedback on Wavestorms: First this board is about 8 feet long and high floatation. Still if you are over say 175 pounds you will probably want to use a 9 to 10 foot soft top to learn on. I am 165 lbs and it took me weeks of learning and strengthening before i consistently caught waves. Now though I am looking for something shorter. As said make sure you wax the board or even wax the protective plastic covering (before it wears out and you tear it off). Make sure to check the plastic screws that hold the 3 fins in place before you go surfing. If the leash tangles up on you, paddle to a safe spot in the ocean and take it off to untwist it. The board will not catch waves as easily as a similar shaped fiberglass or epoxy board. For the price it is the best board you can buy though. The board will handle speed quite well. I find it turns moderately well for a longboard, better on your toeside than heelside. The board is soft so any times you accidentally hit your body on it, it wont hurt!

      @@sk8_surf697 I don't think you can get the wave storm for $99 at Costco anymore. They've got a different brand which looks good. Having said that, I've been using my Wavestorm for over a year and I still LOVE it. I've surfed this thing hard, at least four times a week, for 13 months and it's still going strong. If you can't have fun on this board, It's you, not the board. 😂

Unfortunately, we live in a world where certain people are just plain bad and will rob you blind. I love your attitude about just going out and pursuing anything that sparks joy/interest in your life and doing it without worrying about what other people think. In fact, I am going to an event by myself and I know once I get there I will enjoy it. If I don't go, I will miss out!

Get a changing poncho, better than towel dance at our age. Keep using foamy while learning at crowded places, safer for all. Stay safe, have fun!

Also really nice to discover your paintings. They are great!

    Great video! I'm 48 and just started to surf 2 years ago, a switch from boogie boarding. Word for word in exception to having my keys stolen :( I have and am going thru the very same experiences. I even have the same exact Wavestorm board, and prefer to surf at Linda Mar as well! Had to buy that after attempting to learn on a bit shorter hard top board. We should start a Wavestorm meetup LOL, but seriously I think it would be just cool to paddle out together some day soon. I think surfing is now allowed with lifted beach restrictions from COVID?

    Great video. Can’t believe you’ve been in California for so long before trying surfing, but better late than never. As a native Floridian, I can tell you the shark attack chances are much greater in Florida - which leads the world in the most attacks, although most are not fatal. Still doesn’t keep surfers out, even those that I know have been bitten and still bear the scars. It’s great exercise.

    • @chamberlainpaintings
      @chamberlainpaintings  5 лет назад +1

      Yeah, I heard New Smyrna Beach has the highest number of shark attacks in the world. There have actually been very few fatal attacks in California. The last one was 7 years ago.

    • @tanyamarsh4392
      @tanyamarsh4392 5 лет назад +1

      You’re exactly right. Most guys I grew up with surfed (and still do) New Smyrna. The water turbulence in Florida cuts visibility...for surfers and sharks. Most attacks are quick bites of either mistakes...paddling hands look like bait fish, or bites from falls - onto a shark. A friend of mine was unlucky enough to fall onto a shark that left a circular row of scars across his chest. He got HUNDREDS of stitches. Still surfs...👍

      Btw, that was *not* a ramble towards the wrap up, my friend. That was INSPIRING! I'm going on 49 in September, feeling great, and definitely attribute a lot of how I feel to being more methodical; noting what went well, then of course what not so well and researching what might be best thing to work on next and trying to focus on that. Sometimes I don't overcome an obstacle in the time frame I was hoping so I'll switch it up and come back to that later if it makes sense.
      Anyway, excellent video, love the feeling, vibe, great tips and content!

    I definitely never keep the key on the car cause you never know who is watching where you are hiding it.
    I should point out that anything you take out into the water, you should be okay with losing. I have lost watches, keys, sunglasses (cause I forgot I was wearing them!), hats, cameras. It is just part of the ocean tax to Poseidon.

      They don't know the "entire" plan. I just covered the basics that most vigilant surfers use. Were they shark attacks or shark sightings? There have only been two fatal shark attacks in the stretch of coast from SF to Santa Cruz. One in 1959 and the other in 1984. Neither were surfers. I appreciate your concern, but I'm sure I'll be ok!
