Just like to add that surfing isn't an expensive hobby. Board custom made €350, and had it 3 years and still going strong. Wetsuit €200 change every year if you want to surf the winter. That's a little over €300 a year. Granted fuel to get to some of the more remote spots is a factor, but that's spread over however many people you can fit in the car.

 

Have a couple of other boards but have had these years and they only get used when it's either really small or really big and don't want to snap a good board.

 

Yeah, but when you factor in amount of quids spent on surfing paraphernalia, fuel, campsites etc, Vs amount of time spent actually surfing, as in actually riding a wave, then it gets a bit silly.

 

 

My expensive hobby is the black crack that is collecting vinyl. £7.00 for a new release 2 tunes, same or plenty more for older ones. I have in excess of 600. I don't even want to do the maths. It makes me cry when I pour Malibu and Umbongo over one of my rarest (£50+ to replace, if you can find it). It's now sticky and no amount of tlc will get it out the grooves.

Paraphernalia? A bar of wax? No campsites near the breaks I surf. Also, I live on the coast so 90% of the time I surf within a half hour's drive. Extremely wave-rich coast here. If it was bright I could actually see if my local is working while I type this. You could use the same argument for shooting, I mean the time spent actually shooting.I'm sure there's more to it than that. Surfing isn't just about riding waves. It's about paddling, fitness, putting yourself in the right spot even when it's mental out there, taking the wipe-outs and hold downs. It's all a part of it.
