Eeeek! Don't drop in on you!!
It sounds great that you're spending lots of time in the water on both craft!
Whatever is best for the day in question!! I have 4 radically different surfboards now... and a bodyboard... but there are days when it is the people way out back of our beginner beach on surfskis (long kayaks) that seem to be having the most fun! We also have windy summers perfect for windsurfers and kite-surfers, but when would I ever work if I did these forms of wave-riding too?? Hahaha!

Haha I'm just not having it! There's accidental drop INS and there's being a dangerous tool. There's a big controversy up north right now where a chic wasn't wearing a leggie and her board flicked off and severed a guys arm nearly clean off. People have no idea how dangerous it can be!!!
I know right, there's the foilers here that catch the big swells and can ride in a lot of conditions even the SUP crew can't do. So cool. People have a go at them but they surf wide and don't get in the way.
I never want to work again... Beach bum sounds like a good post 50 career choice. It suited me when I was young so I am demanding my second grommet phase.
It's hard to believe you're over 50... but I think I've said that already!!
Hahah I know, but I'm still 40 in my head. My body is feeling it though.
Sunshine Coast Noosa had a pretty nasty accident as well end of last year. Pretty huge cut over the head. Looked ugly
It's mental and no one does anything about it. They are begging for a legrope rule here. Can you imagine any other sport being so unregulated?? They don't even have signs explaining surging etiquette on my coast. My girlfriend and I are about to make some and guerilla staple them to the posts on two beaches we surf at. We hope at least they will be a talking point.
It is absolutely crazy. It actually can only get better from here...at least I hope so. They have signs everywhere at the sunshine coast. I think that accident happened because of a drop in but in Noosa I´ve seen people without leash as well. Yes do that, someone has to do it.
I might just staple a few to people's heads, haha just kidding. Some people shouldnt' be allowed near the ocean! Thing is, we were never like the Gold/Sunny coast at all - we were pretty chill and uncrowded down here. That's changed though. I miss the old days. Yeah, I'm one of those surfers now 'it was better in the '90's' he he he
haha don´t worry even I´m like that and I started when it already was crowded compared to your early days of surfing. Anyway, think it is a trend that will calm down again like with everything. Most people give up after a few sessions anyway or are seasonal surfers. Good thing is I can go whenever I want to as I don´t need to go to an office. ;)
