treat ya longboards like a good old fashioned used car (or lady) that you are always looking to upgrade. Then you never get bored.

If you have only been surfing for 2 yrs and are bored already then maybe you have some bigger problems to address . May I suggest you a book yrself on a boat trip to early season Ments or Northern Sumatra - if you come back still bored then you know its time to take up cycling or golf. I would think that you will come back super stoked on life or maybe you may just extend your trip and not come back at all.

Alternatively maybe check into the room across the street which is mostly dedicated to people who got bored surfing or who never got into it and so needed something else - maybe they can give you some inspiration - I hear flat water paddling is great fun

I think the important question you need to ask yourself is "do I prefer members of the opposite sex ?" - if the answer is "yes" then stick with your shorty - and maybe if you wanna really prove you're truly hetero, buy a sup !
If you answered "no" - well, you are asking the right people for advice

Mate I sort of know where your coming from . I got my 1 st short board when I was about 12 which was a long , long time ago . Since then have tried sailboards, kayaks for a while then went back to the short boards . Lately have been getting frustrated with short boards but wasn't too sure about the LB as always thought they were only for the old farts or too slow .
Anyway got my 1st LB about a month ago and it has blown me away. The rides are much longer and smoother . Why don't you rent one for a day and try it out for yourself .
Have not as yet had a go on a SUP Bill .

And yes I do prefer members of the opposite sex ( except those that are grossly obese , have moustaches / beards , have 2 heads , real ugly heads , big warts on their nose , Boobs that drag on the ground , boobs that they can flick over their shoulders, Not that I am picky

^^^^^^mate, i will never get bored of l/b. funny cause i just ordered a short for myself. so different boards for different waves mate. its all about how often you want to get in the water and smile. and been surfing for two years,wow i have been surfing for over twenty and boredom is a word i dont think can be linked with any form of surfing unless you are a mong

Yep Ted imported the missus from across that big stretch of water that separates us from the rest of you .
Wondering if this bloke is serious . Why would you bother going surfing if you find it boring .

Very true chrispy , there was a saying my parents used to use you kill more d...heads with kindness then by bashing the F..k Out of them . Cant remember it word for word but it went something along those lines anyway.

Talking of boring surf anybody getting any surf up that way . Hoping to get some swell coming into here this afternoon so I can crack out the boring old LB again .Haven't had it out for a week getting withdrawal symptoms

Good work Troll! Angry yes. It as messed up my shortboarding! Sure my turns and stuff are improving but if you longboard for too long jumping, your first few sessions back on the shorty is like paddling through hummus while being a lost kid not knowing where to sit in the line-up. Damn the nose rider!!!
