Thought I better be polite
Thought I'd do the nice thing, and introduce myself
I'm Underdog, I have just started surfing after a 7 year abscene, so I am doing the one thing that's worse than learining, I am re
learning.
I also play ice/roller hocky, and that's prettymuch me done.

Welcome...I wonder if Al will let you claim Ice Hockey as a FON sport?
Is there wind on the way??

I would have given it a try in my youth, but the old bones would probably give up if I started now. Shame really as it look fun and
there is a good local team apparantly

Yeah man it is fun, I play Rolle rhockey more, since it's more local to me and it's not so expensive, run my own team, called The
Underdogs Qualified for the British national championships the year
before last.
It's the complete opposite of surfing, it's about being a team, and being nasty, ha ha

I think Ice Hockey will have to be entered into the diaries as an 'other' sport.
Its not really a 'Force-of-Nature' sport, but if you want to record it, you can of course. In actual fact, most 'Forces-of-Nature'
sports are individual things, just you and the powers of wind waves and gravity!!!.. Plus a few mates and a couple of beers if
possible. 
I used to play Ice Hockey with the Bristol Bulldogs years ago... probably about 15 years ago now. I've been back on the ice a few times
since, but I've lost most of the skills I had then..
Good to have you posting here Underdog, and good luck with the surfing. Which is your local break??
Al.

My local is Aberavon down in South Wales, although if I know there are waves I prefer to make the drive to Scare, it's far quieter.
Yep hockey and surfing are 2 different ends of the scale, with surfing you have to respect the water, and know that is always going to
be in charge, in hockey, you respect no one and have to think that you are the one everyone is going to have to match.
Fingures crossed and a month of regular waves and I'll have some kind of ability again, although this whole new board thing is doing my
head in at the moment.

Now if we are going to start talking team games - lets talk Rugby.
I don't mean the fancy bit involving the the brycream boys and the ball - I'm talking front-row rugby.
"never mind the ball get on with the game"

With you on the rugby Dave, mind you only growing to 6' I kind of like the ponces back play, i can run like hell but always ended up on
my arse with a 17st prop sitting on my head! I think I crossed the try line once, shame it was my own!
