			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?” Forget about Botox and face lifts! The best way to appear youthful is to feel youthful.</p>
<p>Pack up your lethargy, fatigue and weariness. Put them in the suitcase with your bikini and sunscreen. When your surfing vacation is over, the bikini will probably be faded. You, however, will be looking and feeling years younger. Your fatigue will be a thing of the past. You will have a spring in your step and a zest for life that you had thought long gone.</p>
<p>Pack away those “old lady” hobbies. Unearth your bikini, sunscreen and surf wax. Join a sporting craze that unites everyone of all age groups, from tiny children to the elderly.</p>
<p><span id="more-97"></span>There is nothing more aging than a woman with the weight of the world on her shoulders. Go on a women surfer’s vacation and rejuvenate yourself. The sport of surfing will have you energised and looking and feeling more youthful in no time.</p>
<p>Feel your responsibilities and burdens start to slide away after the invigorating surfing sessions in the glorious ocean. There can be nothing more rejuvenating than splashing around in the crystal water waiting for that next wave. The feeling of successfully sliding down the face of the wave is just the best in the world. Every surfer comes out of the water after a session with a big grin on her face. Your endorphins (those feel good hormones produced by exercise) will be pumping.</p>
<p>The extra exercise will have the blood pumping around your body, resulting in a beautiful healthy glow to your skin. Allow your true beauty to shine from within. Those endorphins will take years off your face. A truly happy and contented woman has a much more youthful appearance. Just look around your own friends and colleagues to see living evidence of this.</p>
<p>Enjoying time in the great outdoors is a fine way to stay young at heart. However, while out there surfing it is important to remember to apply your sunscreen. Organic ones are best as they contain less harmful chemicals, and often have added natural moisturizers in them. There is no point going on a surfing vacation and frying your skin. You do not want to come home with wrinkles or a bad case of sunburn as your holiday souvenir.</p>
<p>Another great piece of advice to halt the aging process is to indulge in your surfing in the less damaging times of the sun. Have you heard the phrase “10-3, beneath a tree”? Use the middle of the day for resting, shopping and massages. Smart women surfer’s hit the waves first thing in the morning, before the wind comes up, and in the late afternoon. The late afternoon surfing session can be a great way to banish the frustrations of the day.</p>
<p>Catching a little sun through the sunscreen is an excellent way to help halt the process of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a nasty part of aging for all females involving the loss of the calcium in the bones, resulting in more fragile bones. “Dowager’s humps” are an excellent example of osteoporosis in its more dramatic form. The calcium that you consume during the day actually needs the Vitamin D from the sun to be metabolized into a substance your body can utilize. Another great reason to start surfing and turn back the hands of time.</p>
<p>The physical activity of the surfing will have your upper arms toned in no time. Your whole body will be more supple and youthful looking. Use muscles that have been almost forgotten. Surfing is a great form of exercise for burning off any excess pounds. Which would you rather, the sweaty Stairmaster and the arm weights, or a glorious session in the crystal water with the waves?</p>
<p>There is nothing quite like the fresh ocean air to dispel all sad and negative thoughts. It is actually extremely difficult to remain depressed when on the beach. In fact, many people claim that the seaside is a cheaper and more effective alternative to therapy.</p>
<p>Why go on a plastic surgery holiday? Go on a women surfer’s vacation instead. Learn, or perfect, a new sport and come home looking and feeling years younger. Return home from your vacation with extra life experience in your soul, not as a blank canvas with all life erased. Go home smiling, not with a paralyzed face full of toxic nasties.</p>
<p>Your job, your partner, your children and the housework can all wait. Leave the aging burdens of the daily grind at home. Reinvigorate yourself now. Botox or a surfboard? The answer to a more youthful appearance is obvious. Say “No” to injecting chemicals into your body. Say “Yes” to organic sunscreen, waves and surfboards.</p>
<p>Sunscreen, a bikini, a surfboard. Answer the call. Feel younger. Look younger. Surfing. The natural and healthy way to take 10 years off your face.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jarrod needed some sex wax. He asked his mum to pick some up for him in town and she slapped his face and told him to wash his mouth out! He asked his grandmother to pick some up for him when she was out shopping and she fainted! After coming round, she told Jarrod’s mother, who promptly slapped his face and told him to wash his mouth out.</p>
<p>‘I need sex wax’ is all Jarrod’s dad overheard while he was on the phone to his mate, organising their surfboard titillating session. Forcefully removing the phone from Jarrod’s hand, his dad slammed it down, muttering, red-faced, about extortionate chat line charges and the ‘youth of today’, before he marched into the kitchen loudly complaining to his wife.</p>
<p>And guess what? Yep, you got it. She slapped his face and told him to wash his mouth out!</p>
<p>That was it. Jarrod had had enough. He left for the beach to meet his mate and get this out of his system. Strapping his surfboard to the roof of his beloved VW camper, he set off to catch some waves. The wind was picking up which was a good sign that his surfboard would see some action today. It also meant that his other cheek would get some colour and he wouldn’t look like he’d fallen asleep under a one sided sun bed.</p>
<p>Arriving at the beach, Jarrod’s mate has already arrived and was looking chilly while he wiped down his surfboard. Jarrod pulled on his 3mm wetsuit and checked out the surf. The weather has brought out more babes than usual, all desperate to strut their stuff and show the boys they ride their surfboards as well as us. All be it in a girlie fashion!</p>
<p><span id="more-102"></span>Not wanting to make himself look a complete idiot, he slapped plenty of his mates sex wax onto his surfboard and headed out into the waves. There’s no way he was slipping off this board and making a fool of himself in front of these hotties.</p>
<p>Once out into the water, feeling the pull of the current around his legs and the exhilarating power under his surfboard, Jarrod soon forget all about his difficulties at home and began to ride the waves. Getting the better of a wave and riding it into shore gave him the ultimate feeling of control and of beating the elements. He wasn’t, however, the type to take nature for granted. It has an unpredictable force all its own and should never be underestimated.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this wasn’t the attitude of the blonde totty riding nearby. Obviously inexperienced but determined to get the better of nature, she tackles waves that are way beyond her. After crashing down and being beaten by a particularly powerful surge, it feels like an age has gone by before she surfaces, coughing and spluttering.</p>
<p>Jarrod does the gentlemanly thing and helps her inland. He takes her arm and guides her to the back of his camper van where he patches up her grazes and offer her hot tea from a flask which she gratefully accepts. Doing his damndest not to patronise her, because he knows how sensitive you girls can be, he use his own mistakes as an example of how she can overcome the problem she experienced on her surfboard.</p>
<p>She seems to be taking this all very well until he offers her some of my mates sex wax and she gives him that look. ‘It’s ok’ Jarrod tell her, ‘we always share sex wax’. It’s at this point that she slaps his face, tells him to wash his mouth out and marches off back to the waves, swinging her surfers hair behind her. Girls!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Surfboard fins are profound to the surfing scheme, and there are a plenty of typecasts that you can pick out from. Picking Out the powerful fin for your surfboard is a principal decision to make, for the rationality that surf fins bear their own features that should be taken into consideration.In addition the trade name of the fin that you will select has monumental events on the operation of your surfboard. If you want to ascertain online for some of the nicest fins there is for your surfboard, visit waterboyz.com .</p>
<p>The surfboards these days have extractible fins whereas at one time they were fixed.You postulate to be elaborate that the surf fin is congenial with the cross boxes . Boxes are the special device that carry the fin in its site on the surfboard. That is why it is very main to correctly select the arrangement that you wish.</p>
<p>The optimum precedency that you ought to consider is the fins features, such as the depth, template, base, foil, rake, tip and flex.</p>
<p><span id="more-136"></span>FLEX<br />
Those fins that are strong are a bunch faster, but fins that are variable are a bunch better to turn.</p>
<p>TIP<br />
The tip is the top third of your fin, if there are a flock of tips there, then it signifies that it has more harbor.</p>
<p>RAKE<br />
The rake is the distance that is in between the fin tip and the tailing edge that is of the fins base. This is the one that has the swept back feature of the fin. If you will increase the rake, then you will get an enhanced rate of traction.</p>
<p>FOIL<br />
The foil is the fins horizontal curve; this is assessed from the fins front edge to the trailing edge.</p>
<p>BASE<br />
The base is the fins length where it is engaged at the surfboard. If you will step-up the length, then this will sum up to the advancing movement, but it will score it a bit hard to affect a turn. There are the shortboard tri-fins which more frequently has a three and five up to four and five inch base, and as well the Longboard single fins that are about six inches.</p>
<p>TEMPLATE<br />
The template is the fins delineate.</p>
<p>DEPTH<br />
To be competent to induce the fins maximal height it has to assess from the surfboard s bottom surface. This will demonstrate merely how far the fin will go in the water. The surfboard s support will be augmented with the depth the fin can go as far, but it will make it stiffer to turn also. Three up to four inch depth is the standard anticipated depth on a tri-fin and for the longboard that has single fins , most probably the depth that is anticipated is about nine inches.</p>
<p>Intimately renowned companies such as Future, FCS, BIC, Center, Proteck, Dockslocks, Rainbow, Wingnut and Johnny Rice all develop important fins and you can observe them on line at places such as waterboyz.com for example.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Surfboards are measured by various dimensions: length, width, and  thickness. The length of the surfboard will determine how easily you  catch the wave. The longer the board is, the easier it will be to catch  the wave. The width of the board will help you with balance. The wider  it is, the more balance you will have out in the water. Finally, the  thickness of the board will provide you with float. The thicker it is,  the more buoyant you will be. You will usually find these dimensions  measured in inches and written on the underbelly of the board on the  stringer by the tail.</p>
<p>Surfboards are usually made of one or a combination of three  materials: wood, fiberglass, and epoxy. Wooden boards were the first  surfboards ever used to ride waves but have since become expensive to  make and therefore relatively obsolete. Most surfers have balsa wood  boards hanging on their walls as collectorâ€™s items. They are sturdy  but heavy.</p>
<p><span id="more-66"></span>Fiberglass boards are the typical boards used on the surfing circuit.  They are made of foam called a blank with a layer of fiberglass over  it. They are the most delicate, but in most cases the most versatile  because they can be custom shaped to your liking. The newest surfboard  material is epoxy. Epoxy boards are durable but manufactured by  machines. They are more expensive and ride the fastest, but they are not  custom made, which avid surfers eventually prefer. Beginning surfers  might prefer epoxy boards over other materials. Board makers like Bic  and South Point have a line of economical epoxy boards that work well  for surfers just starting out.</p>
<p>Most recently, there are new boards being made of carbon fiber that  are extremely durable but also very expensive. Hollow-core boards are  also popular because they provide more float and are extremely  lightweight, yet have quick response and high performance.</p>
<p>Most boards also have a stringer and a rocker. The stringer is the  wooden line that runs down the center and length of the board. Stringers  help to keep the foam and board intact. The rocker is the curve of the  board, which prevents the board from catching an edge. The bigger the  rocker, the easier it will be for you to turn on your board. Long boards  usually have a flatter rocker because they tend to ride on a relatively  flat part of the wave . Short boards, on the other hand, tend to have  more rocker because they are designed to ride a much more critical part  of the wave. Bigger, faster waves require more rocker in shortboards to  give the rider ample board control. .</p>
<p>Your collection of surfboards is called your quiver. If you stick  with the sport long enough, you might eventually have a quiver of 10 to  20 boards! No matter how big your quiver is, it will certainly be a  collection of boards with various shapes and sizes to suit different  conditions and purposes.</p>
<p>When a board reaches retirement, surfers believe the board  â€œbuckles.â€  In other words, the board has developed some kind of  weakness in its core that will no longer allow it to perform as you  would like it to. When the board buckles, breaks, or is just overly  aged, it means itâ€™s time to retire your board. One way to prevent your  board from aging quickly is to store it in a board bag in a cool, dry  place. Boards are best stored horizontally because that will cause any  water that does seep into the board to distribute more evenly, rather  than sending it straight to the tail if you store it vertically. Also  keep in mind that dings?even bad bumps and bruises?are easily fixable,  so donâ€™t give up on your board if it has cosmetic issues!</p>
