Eye Candy for Me

Looks like some super freaky wave is forming?
Or photoshoppery's involved.
 
/facepalm

That's what I get for not paying attention. You'd think I'd recognise the desmo engine.

Oh well, we all make mistakes. I'm going to repeat that while drinking myself into oblivion to forget calling a Ducati a Buell.
That does require an inordinate amount of drinking.
Frankly the ...damn it, can't find the word for, but the x shaped part in red is what gave it away for me as a Ducati...
What are you drinking? I need some too!
 
Yeah, I know. In retrospect, it was obvious. This is why I'm so cheesed at myself.
 
Ooooooooooohhhhhhhh baby!

:)

Have you seen "Riding Giants" YC?

The name is familiar, though I don't recall anything from it. All the surf docs just kind of meld together. Is that the one where they go to Hawaii to that spot where a surf board is a one time use board?

I just watched the 10 part series of "Riding Giants" on Youtube. I was a Red Cross WSI and a lifeguard in my younger years, but I've never lived close to an ocean and hardly even had the chance to put my foot into salt water. I can (or could) swim with the best of them. In a different life and time, I could see myself out there doing that. What a rush of adrenaline it must be.

Surfing is really inspirational. Makes me want to go out and do shit. Though I've been at Monterey bay, not in the water just watching, and just from that I could tell it's not a nice world out their. To be a successful surfer you need also know how to throw punches while out in the break.

It's a mega testosterone sport and ego-central, which is why I've never taken it up. Boogie boarding is fun. Done that. I prefer being below the water, where everyone is chillaxed.

Thank you for the link DVS :rose:

Being caught by a wave, even a tiny one, scare the shit out of me, but I just love watching them, and surfing has always fascinated me. (I even did a short bout of windsurfing in my teens :eek:). So thank you for a wonderful hour spent watching those surfer pushing themselves to the next limit, never losing faith in themselves.

I think it's a documentary that anyone can enjoy, even if they've never even seen the ocean.

Those guys were amazing/crazy.

Really should be seen on a large screen to be truly appreciated though. ;)
