Procrastination: I want to try this!

Ok, so maybe I was overplaying my drive to write my thesis ;)

Y'all can call me crazy (or crazier than you normally think I am), but I think this looks like a lot of fun:

Surf Boating, or Surf Rowing



I've always preferred rowing to paddling, though I enjoy both. Rowing is a great workout and very enjoyable for me; I just wish I could do it more regularly.

I don't imagine that rowing against heavy surf is even remotely easy, but I'll bet riding a wave in a boat is about as fun as riding a wave on a surf board.

It looks like surf rowing would add a lot more adrenaline and a definite element of danger. And frankly, I think it looks like a blast.



Don't worry HSBP, it's also a competitive sport. Boats launch from the beach and navigate to a buoy where they turn around and race back to the beach, catching and riding the waves into shore.

This might be one of the few competitive sports I could really get into.



Anyone want to run away to Australia or New Zealand with me to try it?
