I'd love to live in a ski resort for a season. @Barb I am so lucky and should take advantage of it. Will probably make an entertaining blog post or two as well! @GeekMummy The power of the waves here is amazing sometimes. Hope I don't split my wetsuit! @nvg Yes, I could quite happily be a ski bum too. I’d love to live in a ski resort for a season.

Last time he surfed, he split his wetsuit, the intervening years had added a few pounds! I've only tried a couple of times, it is hard, but so exhilarating. I get a bit too scared of the power of the ocean. If I was younger....maybe In my next life! I say go for it. Tell us how it feels!

What a luxury to live in such a beautiful part of the country. The rest of us can enjoy the sun and surf through YOU! Go for it, Lorna. What a luxury to live in such a beautiful part of the country.

I have definitely lost my nerve. I'd love to be a ski bum though.... I realised when I did some wave bathing last summer that I’d be too scared to try proper surfing now.

How cool to have a pro surfer in the family, very impressive. @ExpatMum I thought the same thing last week - how similar surfing and skiing are. Good snow, good waves, no work gets done. @Mwa That’s great to hear – I really do need to try it.

The number of employees who get up, realize there's good snow and just take off for the day. Must be nice.

I have a family of surfers (we've moved away from OC, though); brothers and sisters, cousins, etc. In fact, one of my relatives was a pro surfer who was in the world trials, etc. Although, I only live an hour away, it feels like a world away. Nice to hear new people discovering it though :) Good luck! It’s stories like this that have me missing my old hometown, Orange County.

I have learned to carry a stack of magazines and catalogs in the car for all those pull-overs where he gets out and stares longingly at the ocean. Throw a couple of coloring books and a box of crayons at the kids in the backseat and we're all good with daddy's obsession with the current state of the 'swell' economy.

I'm rooting for you. (I went for a surfing holiday with my brother one year. I spent a couple of hours every day trying to stand up on the board but never managed. I still LOVED it, and swore I would try again.) Oh, that would be wonderful! I’m rooting for you.
