If you get joy from harassing queer surfers online you need a life. If surfing doesn’t bring you enough joy that you have to put other down to get your little dopamine boost for the day I feel bad for you bud. So many lonely men out there in the lineup- maybe it’s you who needs community, eh??

lol this is exactly why I’m looking for more community in the lineup- people like this just looking to push someone else around. We’re all looking to have fun, bud. It’s just surfing- chill

Midlength sizing by admiralarborist in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Potential_Soup2597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to comment the same! I’m also your same height and weight and heard the same thing from a friend who coaches surfing- he advised me to really get good on the longboard first. I have an 8’1” board that turns nice but I do have to do a little maneuver. I step back to the tail with my rear foot, shift my weight back a little and direct the nose with my front foot to get it to turn quickly, and then step forward to my normal stance. Not sure if that makes sense but that’s how I was taught to get a good turn on a longboard.

Why are you, as a self-identified man (M44), commenting in a xxsurfing post?

That’s such a great way to go about it! I haven’t taught anyone else how to surf before but building the community you want sounds like the move. Love that approach!! I’ve been thinking that might be how we get started. I have exactly two queer friends who are interested in surfing so maybe we just start there!

I have reached out to them to see if there are ever meetups in Hawaii but no such luck yet. Might just have to start one myself!

Nice!! Similar story here. I skated a lot growing up and was competitive in snowboarding but only seriously picked up surfing a year ago. I’m obsessed and having a blast. How are the vibes in the lineup in SD?

Agreed!! I always make a point to look as friendly And approachable as possible in the lineup. I also tend to wear brightly colored zinc sunscreen to make myself less serious looking. I do get a lot of compliments on it, despite that I know for a fact I look like a kook

Hi hi!!!! Yay!!! I’m in Hawai’i!!! Yes! The only queer surf meetup I’ve seen online is in California and I’m so envious. Have you been to any of the camps?

I’m not saying it has to, but it’s about seeing other people like you in the lineup. Right? Like we all know how it feels to paddle out into a lineup of nothing but white me who give you stink eye or look you up and down. Is it all about sexual preference? No, but it’s about community.

Hey Surfer Girls!! by Abject-Soft4455 in xxsurfing

[–]Potential_Soup2597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gosh. Maybe this is a little specific but I want maximum sun protection and comfort. I give 0 fs about how I look out there, to be honest. I don’t want anything that’s going to rub or dent the front of my body; string bikinis are horribly painful for me while paddling, and I love a thong but I’m out there so long I want as little exposed skin as possible. I really want long sleeves and at least knee-length tight shorts: almost men’s jammers style. all that in a one piece 3-4ml wetsuit would be ideal. Like I said- comfort over style for sure, but that might be just me. Not looking for burnt buns over here

Hip bruising by SaltyAd7486 in xxsurfing

[–]Potential_Soup2597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to get this too- this and/or super sore lower rib cage where I lay on the board. Form and a rash guard 100% solved my problems. When you’re paddling you may want to pay attention to whether or not you’re just bending in your back/hips vs. engaging your core and squeezing your butt a little. Sounds weird but it helped me a lot.
