Anthropoidal arms?

We had some fun with this a while ago. this is just humorous aging surfer fun!

Perhaps a link to Neanderthal that lurks in the gene pool?

BTW the small penuse’d have “long” since ceased to exist so this isn’t a masculine deal, if you can scratch your ankles, more power to you. And if you ride a scooter I can guess your choice of bars!

Me, I could handle the Performers and Ugly’s as a punk. What do your arms shrink due to old age?

I first noticed this phenomena once I became a “cripple” as opposed to SUP’r .  And why not, I’m riding on my knees on late drops anyhow.

The kneeboard is damn wide!  Gotta hold it up by the fins! But I can handle it.

The golden rule for me, in the “golden years” when its overhead, kneel and spray any less, cruiser.

Now my longboard! 10’-6” x 23”x God 3 5/8” sh*t barely get the tips of my fingers around it, very close and I fear the sound of it bouncing off the cobblestones indigenous to my home break.

So, really old age doesn’t cause your arms to shrink.

Old age requires volume and width….

Next LB narrower rather than SUP handle!

In the meantime I may adopt Mr. Weber’s technique

Stay wet…




Growing old ain’t for sissies, as they say.

Dimensions:

7’ 6" Length

25 - 1/2" width

3 - 5/8" thick

My latest board is 22" wide, 4" thick - if I go any wider, at that thickness, its gonna need an SUP handle for me to carry under my arm.  My arm barely reaches around my 23" longboard, and that’s only 3" thick, if that.  The Banana Boat 8 footer is 22" wide, 3 5/8" thick, and its marginal, but do-able.  Gorilla arms - yeah buddy, I need some.

Dewey was a pretty good wrestler.  Remember;  He was the “little man on wheels”  and “Buster Brown”.  Taken too soon.  Our loss.   He would probably have taken up SUP. Lowel
