I have subscribed to Surfer's Journal for years and yet rarely know who or what they are talking about.

I meant to go surfing more. I try not to let it eat at me.

My relationship with my wife often determines if I will get to go surfing.

My relationship with your wife is determined by when you get to go surfing :D

I check the surf report, but I'll probably go no matter what it says.

A chic on a Bic went over the top of me. Felt her fin on my shoulder, she got tangled in my cord. A little peeved, but I didn't blow up at her. Could have been my fault not that long ago.

Dawn patrol means I left my house at dawn, but the sun was well up by the time I got to the surf.

At first I didn't surf very much, then I did for a few years, (man, that was fun), but now I do so infrequently, so i never got all that good really, but at least I have 5 boards now, even though I only really use one of them.

i can't really tell the difference between my tri-fin and my single-fin. I don't know if my 8-foot is a bad shape or if I'm just a bad rider.

I lurk on surfing forums thinking I might learn something

I talk about surfing far more often than I go surfing

By the time I surf again...
I'm guessing I'll be a kook again.
