.tandem.

I want to try to tandem.




Though I'm sure that as with most things in life, it is not nearly as simple as it appears in photographs. It doesn't even seem like the girl needs to do anything except wave her arms in attractive poses and smile and look pretty [none of which I am capable of doing]. It's kind of like pairs figure skating in surfing [where the men does a majority of the work tossing around the girl and the girl's main objective is too land without falling]. But as with all pairs events, one needs a partner and I am uncertain as to where and how one would go about finding a male companion who wants to toss them around in the water. I wish that I too, were as bendy and throwable as the 98 lb. girls they depict winning contests. Then at least maybe I could be a winner at some type of surfing venture.

I believe that my favorite pose/position would be the one on the second row [from the bottom] all the way on the far right [the one where she is doing the splits]. How do they find women who can contort their body is such awkward/graceful/kink positions? And how do they find men who can surf AND carry a woman in such a position? I wish I could do just one position on land ...

To learn more about tandem surfing and it's Waikiki beginnings [I suppose that it would make sense that tandem surfing was invented where surfing was invented] visit surfline.
