How many soul surfers does it take to change a lightbulb?
None. "It's not about the light, man, it's about the connection." Then the bulb blows, and he sulks in the dark for three days like it's gone flat.
The forecast says a long period groundswell arrives on Wednesday.
Across the country, an unusually large number of dentist appointments have just been booked.
My mate swore he was quitting surfing for good and sold his entire quiver.
A week later, he came home with a "beginner foamie for the kids." He doesn't have kids. He does, however, have a brand new leash and a fresh bar of cold water wax.
My nan asked how my weekend was, and I told her I got pitted, then worked, then rinsed.

About this book
Do you know someone who checks the surf forecast before the weather forecast? Someone who calls in sick whenever the swell picks up? Someone who owns more boards than chairs and still insists there is room for one more? If so, you have found the right book.
100 Jokes about Surfers is a light-hearted collection of one-liners, puns and observations about life in and out of the water: the dawn patrols, the wetsuit wrestling in a freezing car park, the hours spent sitting on a board staring at the horizon, the drop-ins and lineup politics, the spectacular wipeouts, and the legendary swell that was always better yesterday.
It makes a funny present for birthdays, Christmas, Secret Santa, Father's Day or Mother's Day, and it is small enough to live in a beach bag, a glovebox or a camper van. From weekend beginners on foam boards to seasoned chargers who live for big swells, bodyboarders and anyone who feels most at home by the sea, they will recognise themselves on every page.
