I usually have a backpack with:

-Towel
-Bar of Wax
-Water
-Snacks
-Cell Phone
-Sunscreen

I pack pretty light, because I have my wetsuit on me and my board under my arm. I live a couple blocks from the beach.

I usually call a taxi(here in venezuela they're cheap as hell), its a 10 minute or 15 minute drive, depending on the break I go to.
And I take my board, and pack my completely torn apart backpack with these items:
-a towel
-wetsuit
-sunscreen
-wax(if I have)
-as much food as I can find
-my cheap ass phone
-5 bolivares for an empanada

I'd take my ipod and a bit more money, but I just leave my backpack on the shore...

5 Bs for an empanada? awesome! Where in Venezuela do you live?

Thats a fair shout, I wish I lived within walking distance of some good surf, would be so sweet to be able to get up, look outside and think, ya know what, I'm going for a sesh right now.

Haha, Well, I'd love to even live close enough to go check the surf. I love about an hour from any good surf, but give it a year and I'll be driving so all will be good then (Y)

do u have to wax everytime u surf?? sorry dumb question but im new to surfing... baha

by **zangpakto** » Wed Oct 20, 2010 6:42 pm

I don't... I doubt most people do.... If they do they must have to clean their board a LOT

Maybe I'll put a light coating over if doesn't feel right, else just leave it and maybe comb with a wax comb...

I bring to the beach

Biscuit 5'10"

Wetty

Towel

snacks and drinks, and some spare change for the car guards

Oh and CT is safe as hell, just watch out for longboarders

they are inconsiderate sometimes and groms can be annoying ya wanna klap em too xD

Sharks... meh I worry more about SUP and new people than sharks o.o

Just wonderin, what do you pack in your bags before surfing
