Surf Punks

A co-worker has offered to show me how to surf. One of these weekends we'll load some gear in the truck and head on down to the shore. He's got a friend who is a surfing tutor that he owes a ride to the beach to. I can't wait. It obviously hasn't been a high priority, but I've always wanted to surf. Told him that I doubt I'll become a surf bum since it's hard to strap a board to a chopper. Then I remembered our current car project, the 72 Super Beetle. "See man? Throw a board rack on top and you're already part of the culture." Jake surfing. Who'd a thunk it?

Apparently Oregon surfing only sucks during the summer. If you're brave enough to hit the coast in January when it's about 40F and raining, they have killer storm swells.
