Hi, I recently stumbled on the blog, and am happy to find it.I'm 57, my wife and I live in NE Connecticut, and discovered surfing only about five or six years ago. Turns out that Rhode Island surf spots are close, and I've gotten good enough to be pretty comfortable at the local point break in mid-size surf. I've been riding a 9'6" longboard, but recently bought a secondhand 8'6" thruster - something to work toward.
These days I'm surfing all I can (man, those 6-5-4's are hard to get out of), and when I can't, then as much as possible I'm working out, trying to get into better condition, and building paddling muscles. Things can get pretty flat in RI, but the next swell will come, and I've got to be ready for it! If the movie Surfing for Life is any indication, I should be able to surf for a long time to come.
But I haven't yet learned how to tell the difference between Mrs. Palmer's for warm water and Mrs. Palmer's for cool water when I lose the boxes...
