Maybe i'm the only one...But does anybody else surf in the river in whitewater kayaks? As long as the flow is up, the wave is always breaking.

kbrazil,
I am pretty sure many kyakers do that(i'm not a kyaker, but it looks fun).
I have also seen surfers(in surf magazine pics)surfing similar river 'waves' on surfboards. One was in Alaska, and one time it was in the Southern Hemisphere somewhere, perhaps Indo(& fairly recently).

"This is the best duck dive shot I've ever taken (and I've taken a few!).
It was her first duck dive and her hair is still dry.
Taken at Uluwalu on Sept 08."GP

What's this? The women climbers back then weren't hot? Have you ever looked at Liz Robbins? You're telling me Lynn Hill isn't pretty?
On what planet? All I can think of is that girl named Lauren who died climbing in the Black Canyon in 1978. She was intensely beautiful. She died a climber, she died because she liked to climb. How rude of you to sweepingly remark that there were no hotties in climbing.There were.
If we took the same woman and showed her to you first in climbing clothes, or what passed for them back then, and showed you the same woman in a bikini, you, being a man, are going to find the woman in the bikini more attractive. That is just the way you are wired.
In fact, this proves, once again, that men are ruled by their hormones, and cannot actually see past the end of their dicks.

NOT!
All the climber and outdoor chicks I ever met in the 70s, 80s and 90s were all psycho. I don't care how beautiful a chick may be, I ain't puttin' up with any more psycho nut cases.

Climbing satisfies my inner urge for problem solving, comraderie, risk and reward, physical and mental challenge, and being oudoors in beautiful places.
A lifelong passion.
Surfing is just plain fun!
Nah, it's much more than that.
Whatever the f*#k it is I'm jonesing!
South swell and warm water, my favorite points, driving 80 on the salt flats, hoping the solar panels make it, waiting for the AFTERNOON offshores(!!!???), firing up the bapper for a surf check, smell of sunscreen, getting a ride back up the point on a dune buggy while chugging a beer, getting barrelled, or riding the tip loaded , burning your bro and doing over/unders, trimming or cutting the fins loose, limes, minus tides, nipple rash, faceplants, hunger, gouging, fading, pushing a local kid in, floating , making the section, wondering how long the ride actually was- my hair is dry, fresh corn tortillas, saying "GO!", falling asleep early and krispy, underground stinky stashes, laughing, roaches under the umbrella, bottom turns!!!, sunsets, hoots and kooks, not giving a shît, hauling ass, courderoy, pearling borrowed 10 footers, swimming, connectors, longboarder chick butts, rock hard sandbanks, giving one away, easy takeoffs, melting wax, smile aches, tired legs, no cord, being the deepest, wanting to never go home, checkpoints, slow semis, dicey passes, wanting to go back.
Wanting to go back.
Wanting to go back.
I guess I'll order a new pair of moccasyms and head up the mountain.

This thread rocks! Any one just finding it should start at the beginning. There's some excellent material up thread.
I think we have done a stellar job of dodging the trolls so far.
Whatever the f*#k it is I'm jonesing! You and me both Cuz!
After a long and intense winter here on the north shore the summer doldrums have set in. Lately you can't find a wave of any significance on any side of this island other than maybe on the east side and that's wind swell and a very long drive for the day. Fortunately I have landed some good work right here on the beach so I can ride my bike the block and a half to and from work and keep my mind occupied till the south swells start kicking in and hopefully that will be soon.
It's very windy on the ocean at the present and I can walk to the beach and wind surf after work any day that I want, but with out waves it is somewhat uninspiring.
BTW: drljefe, Those were some great words as usual!

I will say this...
The jones for surfing is definitely worse than the jones for climbing.
That little stream of consciousness i just spewed is akin to a junkie's writhing cold sweats, knowing he doesn't have the money for the next fix to get well.
Today,
Climbing = Methodone
