I feel like I can relate with you on this one CJ.
I took about a 9 year detour in my life (2 years in Texas & 7 years in Sacramento) where surfing just was no longer a part of my life with the end goal of securing the future possibility of placing myself in the position to be able to move to the coast with the experience needed to land the job and the finances to buy a house.
It is worth it now, but there were some doubtful days fer sure.
The joy of finally being released from inland prison is incredible.
I hear the sound of freedom! I hope it all works out as you planned!
Get wet!

Same here - 6 years in Washington DC for me. Goal achieved, I'll never do it again.

Keep us posted CJ! 8)

Hey Landlocked,

I feel ya, bro. Don't give up the good fight. I only get to surf a few times a year (!), but I get to retire with a full pension in 4 years (and I'll only be 50). Looking forward to getting out of Tejas to my little piece of heaven on the beach in the PacNW that I've paid off over the years.

Like CJ---if ya want it bad enough, you'll make it happen.

BTW...is Hurricane Danielle gonna bring anything to the Gulf? If so, you should get on it. :wink:

Hey Kid, You will be retiring to the PacNW not long before I exit the PacNW to retire to a sunny third world nation. And I'll only be 62 :!: :cry: But before I go I will bequeath to you my position in the lineup :wink:
