@micbergsma That would be super sick bro! It's awesome catching the small waves the crash off the rocks back into the ocean..(:

[lojo259]

Wow!!!!!!



[onsaphi]

I've tried snowboarding, skating, and wakeboarding, now all I have left is surfing. Although snowboarding was probably the most fun i've had. Just because there's no real limit to how fast you can go aside from your own fear, or the slope.

[micbergsma]

@onsaphi oh yeah it's true about snowboarding... surfing is different...can't slow down the wave, all you have to go what wave want to do haha but I am sure you will love surfing!

[Oxized]

How do you get back in?

[micbergsma]

@Oxized I think swim all the way to the beach with sand?

[Oxized]

@micbergsma thats a far paddle, its past the pier lol

[micbergsma]

@Oxized ah yeah hmm maybe I am wrong? I didn't pay attention to them where they got out.... was busy filming haha

[Oxized]

Super Sick! Love the angle

[micbergsma]

@Oxized thanks! good timing and light right there
