Pilots that surf

[s.o.sJTB]

We've got alot of people sitting reserve and not being called at my company, i've been skateing more this summer than I have all year! This winter looks promising too for being able to go snowboarding while sitting reserve. As someone else already mentioned, a hurt wrist or a folded ankle wouldnt be that fun to explain to the chief!

Maybe ill go down south this winter and learn to surf.....

Hey 350Driver do you fly out of San Diego county somewhere?

What happens when you get hurt off the job when you work for an airline? I race dirt bikes and skateboard so I always have something broke or near broke.

Why not just say you fell off a ladder painting your house?

hey,
down here in Boliver, not as clean as I wish it were, but what are you gonna do. Any of you guys out in Hawaii know of a guy that flys for Hawaiian Airlines named Duff, may be retired by now. If so would you please PM me a way of getting in touch with him. He inspired me to become a pilot one night at the Little Nell. Mucho gracias.

I live in Florida and my daughters are starting to get into surfingThat means that ol' pop going to have to get into it too. I have great abbs but they are covered up with a little flab, can i still surff??????????They say no way. I have had a couple of layovers at Waikiki beach, looks like a great place to learn to surf. Keep up the good life guys enjoyit.

TurboS7,

go for it, my best friend in Indian Harbour Beach, Fl has a couple gromms for kids and he will be surfing with them soon.

Waikiki, is a great place to learn and to just surf, great local crowd and good waves in the summer.

live the dream brother.

Anyone live on and surf Long Island, NY?

Turbo,

Hell yeah. You should definitely start. I've been surfing for 20 years, yet due to a lifestyle change, (flying career) Ive been landlocked for the past 3, and have packed on the flab (over my great abs) . Hopefully my Poi belly and I will be living in Hawaii very soon as I am in a pool, anxiously awaiting a class at one of the regionals over there.

I think it'd be alot of fun to go surfing as a family.(Its fun enough when you're all by yourself). Stick with it. It takes alot of time and dedication, but the rewards are incredible. Ive never surfed Waikiki, but from what I've seen, it looks great for learning. Warm, clean, clear water, mushy waves with enough push, looks ideal. No wetsuit. Ahhh.....

Secretly learn to surf on your layovers in Waikiki, then when you return to FL, tell your daughters that you finally want to learn to surf with them, and blow 'em away when they see that you are a "1st time" natural.

qwerty-
I seriously wish I was SAN based- I am not with the airlines, just a bum flying 135.

I do frequent SAN quite often and enjoy it to the utmost..
