surfer dudes never grow old!

Is it my imagination or does it look like he's about to hit that wave butt first.

Cool!!

But I think Nancy's right.... I wonder if he's humming WIPEOUT.....

Yeah, that ain't rippin....it's wiping out. You can see the bottom of one foot.

How true. I sometimes have trouble keeping a canoe upright while sitting in it!

Ha, Nutmeg! I hear you - I've tipped my kayak over just stepping into it. Besides, those upper arms look pretty good in that shirt!

Why yes.... Yes they do!

If I didn't know how old he was I'd guess way younger based only on that picture!

Getting in and out of the kayak can be a challenge. The first time I ever got into one while trying them out at the "silent sports" place I sat down so hard I nearly created a tsunami!

Yeah, Jimmy's looking pretty good there even if he is about to wipe out!

Actually, Jimmy is only 63.

Anyway, here is another link to a story about Jimmy's surfing. I can't tell how old it is because I can't find a date, but it is a cool article and some neat pictures.

Thanks for all the fun articles! ...and the shoulders and upper back aren't hard to look at in the other articles either..............!!! Hee hee!

Evidently Jimmy hooked up with Goofy Foot about 10 years ago when he was 53 or 54...and math DOES s*ck!

Our friend Jimmy Buffett, the most famous member of the Goofy Foot Family.
"It’s a hard thing to find a good teacher," Jimmy Buffett said in an interview on Margaritaville.com, "particularly in surfing, because everybody’s too busy surfing. It’s a pretty self-indulgent sport. And you don’t find a lot of people who have the qualities out there to give. Tim devoted the time to go out there and not go after every wave. Doing this at 53 or 54, and hopefully surfing for the rest of my life, I have a completely different take on how I want to surf. Tim was great to connect with because he has that gift of being a teacher. When you find someone like that, you stick next to them like a remora on a shark."

I know this has been posted before, but it's still fun to watch...

Little short clip of Jimmy surfing at Suzy's Surf School...huge grin!
