Crescent City Woman

New member. Doing my best to join a lot of interesting meetups here in New Orleans to join adventurous folks who like to be active. (Highland Games Group, sailing, volleyball) Generally like to bike and walk and lift weights. Try to keep my lawn push mowed. Am a landlord of one apartment in the rear of my 1921 house in Uptown section of the city near Tulane University and Audubon Park. Can walk to my local grocery and bike to the park or along the levee. It's not and has never been The Big Easy... We live along the Crescent of the Mississippi and two old names are The Crescent City and the City that Care Forgot. Someone not from New Orleans called city that Easy thing as a doppelganger for The Big Apple. It is a very difficult city to live in, what with hurricanes and poverty and heavy tourism. But people here are neighborly. There is southern hospitality and we try our best to be pleasant. Kindness and compassion are the best things to offer fellow humans. I have a master's in creative writing with a poetry specialization. Undergrad in journalism. Worked at a newspaper for years. Have a few poems published. Written enough to make a book. Haven't sold it. Probably needs more work, I keep at it. Writing some erotic fantasy short stories. First time doing this. Been reading a lot of them to see what others are doing. Know some of what and what not to do. Like funny, witty folk with agile minds. Love film. Occasional cigar smoker. Duck hunter. Try to keep fit . Like to think, analyze. Always have been a daddy's girl and a Tomboy. Can change a tire, serve a volleyball and occasionally hit a hoop. Have painted much of my house inside and out. Clean my own gutters and change my own oil. Like my independence but would love to share my life with an adventurous, sharp, funny man with sumpin, sumpin! A slick Harley and a fishing pole would be nice accoutrements. Have my own shotgun and fishing poles,

 

Well hello again. Saying welcome just doesn't seem to fit seeing as we've encountered one & other a few times already.

 

How Big Does Does His " Fishing Pole" Need To Be To Fulfill Your Needs...???..



Cheers Glen.

 

Don't take this the wrong way, but...you sound hot.

 

welcome is always welcome

 

ain't the ipole.. its the Harley fatboy low

 

don't know if you're a real surfer noserider.... but I took surf lessons in costa rica... didn't surf worth a shit... but it sure was a good experience. surfing is difficult. And yes, a woman who tries to surf, takes a few flying lessons (way too costly...pooh) broke her wrist trying skateboarding.... is somewhat hot.... I'm an adventurer...

 

So many people go off the grid down there. Costa Rica is a huge surf destination these days. Americans go down there to retire and spend the rest of their lives at the beach. I would so do that if I could...

Brah, my other ride is a 9-6 Takayama In the Pink

 

Welcome

 

Surf tech or step deck? These are broad boards that look like they're made for nose riding.... the examples I saw on youtube showed both riders doing the nose and 9-6s are just about the longest.... they don't look like the skinny, short triple blades I see a lot of... sort of older school, eh? not a trick board you do a lot of reverse directions or switch footing on etc? I don't know much about boards, just saw what I saw with that Takayama, trying to analyze it.. Look like long high riding boards too.. Shorter boards probably faster... longer more stable... You tell me if I'm correct or not or tell me why you've chosen Takayama.... idiot educated guess... As for Costa Rico, where I was... and at this point couldn't name the small town, the beaches weren't clean, lots of trash and dog doo, no containers for trash, the people were very friendly, went through an American surf tiny hotel for a week... saw a lot of development in the middle of nowhere... which means it won't be off the grid for long... appreciated the natural beauty... but it isn't able to support a lot more people or it'll be messed up...and turn into mcdonald's ville. its charm is it isn't a suburb of america... iguanas slept on the roof of the bungalows at night. Kept hearing them scratching around and saw them in the mornings. beautiful butterflies...I hate to ruin paradise. So only want to visit it. Not a brah. A sis. Dude!

 

would love to be a real surker.. bucket ist.. already a diver

 

Yeah the short boards are more modern. It's an aggressive form of surfing with lots of cut backs and guys just carving up the wave face. I prefer to walk on water If you think of modern short boarding and the styles of guys like Laird Hamilton and Kelly Slater, and all this "big wave" nonsense as, say, hockey, what I do is akin to figure skating.

Other than nose riding and hanging toes, I don't do tricks. Not my style. I'm an old school soul surfer type. Don Takayama was a legend. Like me, he was a goofy footed noserider and shaped some really good boards. They were never cheap, but I promised myself if I ever could afford one, I'd get one. Best board I've ever used

Sorry to hear that about Costa Rica. Major bummer. Was hoping it was the paradise it was advertised as. But still, I shouldn't be surprised. Anyway, I knew you were a "sis" but I say dude and brah regardless of gender. Me and my friend call each other dude all the time. I even call my mom dude sometimes.

 

I say dude alot too. When I was a little girl there was always surfing on TV. I watched it and oddly enough, golf all the time. But I say dude more in the sense of Spicoli? DUDE! I always used to call my former man friend that. But am tomboy. I LIVE in board shorts. Shows my great legs and disguises everything else. I'm not a shower. And I figure if a man is really interested in me, he'll see past my clothes. Just never liked the whole dresses stuff and less and less as I get older. Yeah I look like a pretty butch lesbian. But that's my cloak!

 

Like I said, hot.

 

You are a little weird....Think a lesbian looking chick is a challenge, dont' cha!!! Yeah me and my merrills and boards and Ts... Not your typical males idea of hot!! You're my kinda nut.

 

Well a wholehearted welcome it is then

 

A challenge? Huh?

I'm lost.

 

The most befuddled phrase ever uttered by man and almost exclusively said in the presence of woahman

 

Silly, men never admit that they are lost.

Ah, stereotypes...

 

i didn't even realize apple made a fishing pole.
