I have never done it before. Surffing that is. The water up here is way to cold to even try, and it smells horrid.

I once tried to pass a slower rider on the surf side and was hit by a sneaker wave that sucked me nearly 10 feet out into the surf and soaked me to skin in stinking nasty foul dead creature infested parasite sea water. Thank god my DS had a sealed Air Box at the time and kept running. I tell you what, I learned an important lesson that day. Leave the surf to the guys who like it.

Well with the winter swells coming in at 20' to 30', you either need to be a professional or have a death wish to ride those monsters.

Haven't had a chance. Nearest surf is 1 km away from me, but water is polluted by metallurgical and tanning industry. Some suiciders still bathe there, but they tend to stink after that.
And my trips to other seas were too short to do surfing.

If you aren't worried about getting demolished by a 30' wall of water, there are other things to keep you entertained:

When I first read this, I thought you said "sink," LOL, but it was Stink.

Huh? Translation?

Concerning Shark attacks it's not that rare. I think it's on the news once or twice a year. There's this one woman who only has one arm but keeps surfing. The father of the victim this time has said that his son was afterall in the sahrks natural environment and he doesn't think its necessary to go looking for it. The government says it's going to be destroyed anyway (If they find it).

It has to be killed. It attacked a human once, it might have gotten a taste for it.
