Surfers shouldn’t be so bummed about the economy

It seems like many of us are pretty bummed about the economy, but if you’re a surfer, when it’s time to stop spending, you should be stoked.  Think about it … riding waves doesn’t cost a dime.

Imagine if every time you paddled out, you had to pay $20 for a two-hour session.  Well if you surf every day that would cost $140 a week and $560 a month with a grand total of $6,720 a year.  Yeah, that would be a total bummer.

Surfers really only need two pieces of equipment: a board and a wetsuit.  A typical surfboard costs between $350 and $500, while a full wetsuit goes for about $200.

Just a little food for thought!!
