It's funny. I used to be inspired all the grizzled old surfers on the beaches of LA. I thought was great that these old geezers still surfed everyday. Not only that, but these old guys were in fantastic shape, toned and ripped. I remember thinking "Man, that's how I want to look when I'm in my sixties." I made this remark to one guy I was sitting next to as we waited for the next wave. He laughed and told me he was only forty five. Whoops. The sun and salt aged these guys' faces way prematurely. Still, being in that kind of shape at forty five is still way cool. I'd trade a few wrinkles for fitness and the fun of surfing anyday.
