Two concepts: Opinions solicited
 

Okay..... life is fucking sweet.... I'm happy... the surf rocks....

got two hobby-type ideas I'm kickin' around right now....

I can either write a book... (cuz believe me, I got a lotta shit to say about this adult bidness stuff.... most of which you guys probly won't want to hear.)

or I can start up the Live "AMp Cam"!

but I can't do both right now, cuz there's still beer drinkin' to be done and waves to be surfed.... time is pleasure, after all.... :winkwink:

any preference one way or the other?

Or you can just go away?? into a cave??

Write a book and get thousands of stupid noobs emailing you for advice on how to make it big

thought about that.... but I'm really not the "bearded" type anymore.... and let's face it.... ya just gotta have a big long beard if yer gonna live in a cave nowadays......

Write a book about this business - Print a limited amount of copies, kinda like a limited collector's edition - and once that's done, you can put the live cam. In the meantime - STOP drinking ;-) :2 cents:

Start breeding pedes :thumbsup

well it can be like that tom hanks film where you can have a bloody vollyball as your friend (GARY) and you can have a GAY OL time!

No?

Stop drinking = no fun

Umm no

:eek7 ....



beer is my fuel!

:eek7


...never.....

Live longer, with a healthier liver!
Besides isn't he the Stop smoking advocate of GFY??
If you have to live clean....clean the liver.

Dont they have toads in hawaii ... those may substitute

your not Amp....

wait i see whay you said no, cause you wanna be the gay vollyball and live with Amp on the Island??


No?

AMP say it aint so

No but I am growing a beard

I'm cleansed by the ocean pounding my ass into utter submission very single weekend.... trust me... when your face is being driven into the ocean floor at 40 miles an hour and your feet keep traveling over your head, it don't get no cleaner than that......

and beer is most definately required after that... :winkwink:

and your point??

if you dont want to be the gay vollyball there is no room on the island!

Relax I can compromise

I'm leaning towards the AMp cam...... only because it's less work than writing the book....

a book, you can probably make a few bucks on and like..you can call yourself an author lol

But think of all the people you can help!!! (Like you GAF) :2 cents:

Hey I'd settle for some notes on a towel or something :)

JK....but a free course would do me fine!

Been getting some use out of that Morey? Its flat here 'till the winter :(

I only got beat once last year, at Linda Mar (widely known as a the beginner beach for NCal surfing) none the less, and it wasn't that big a wave. It was probably 8-10ft on the face, but the swell period was 14 sec or so, so it was powerful. I got caught inside, saw no way to make it over the top, then I timed my duck dive wrong and got sucked backwards over the falls.

It was the weirdest feeling.. never had it happen before. I grabbed a breath, ducked, and felt the wave moving past me. Thought I'd made it through the wave then I start going upwards with tremendous acceleration.. like some fucking alien ship was beaming me up from underwater. I was upside down going over with the lip before I realized what was happening.

Ended up on my back pinned to the sandy bottom for a second or two and swam 3-4 strokes to get back to the surface. Whole thing lasted maybe 10 seconds, but damn did it frighten me. Its fucking dark down there.. and with the 55 degree water.. ouch.

As I was floating there hanging on to my boogie board and recovering I get freight trained again by the next wave in the set. It just stopped being fun at that point. Didn't go back in the water again for a week or two.

exactly Gutterboy.... that's what I mean... :thumbsup


nothing much else matters when that wave is kicking your fucking ass..... hehehe..... ain't it great? :Graucho

.. and realize how small my troubles really were :)

That wave is breaking in about 2 feet of water. Taken at the Wedge near Newport beach, SoCal.

Was the photographer Ron Romanosky by chance Gutterboy?

lol.... :1orglaugh

Check this :Graucho

hahhahehhaaaha.. :Graucho

Ron's a tad anal about copyright issues

Too bad, 'cause he has a huge collection of great surf photography.. all plastered with watermarks.

so you think I should go with the cam huh? :winkwink:

Try this

:)

How big do you think that wave was?

And yeah.. he got mowed. Think he was under for close to a minute.

least a 20 footer....

It was judged to be a tad over 60 feet on the face at its highest point by the XXL competition judges.

Its kinda hard to tell the scale because the movie is grainy and taken from a really wide angle, but that little speck you see trying to escape the lip is nearly 6 feet tall.

SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.opticalamplitude.com/assets/rockon.gif

You have too much energy.
