Creative things to do when snowed in?
General Talk
It snowed a lot where I live
but The most fun I've had is going to the golf course and sliding down on old skim boards. Haha

Hey, i'm not soringeagle but I hope this helps. I had pretty much the same thing happen to me. Maybe a week or so after I got dreads, I let my friends mom play with them. She has beautiful locks down to her back so I pretty much believed anything she said. ( she has Afro textured hair, but I'm white.) she asked if I maintained them and I said no. So she asked if I wanted some help and I said sure. She sectioned off my hair and then covered them in this mago smelling junk and just twisted the hell out of them. I could feel it on my scalp. I didn't like it, so after a week I soaked in hot water, apple cider vinegar, and lemon and it seemed to help. I would recommend the beach too. It helped my hair, which is like curly and thick. I hope this helps. Hah

Hey thanks or the reply. I'll look into a durag. And about suncure. I was debating about doing it yesterday, and I'm glad i didn't. We got like 18 inches of snow where I live. But it's supposed to be like 50 degrees in a week. Haha. Thanks again for the info though. I apprieciate it.

i surf all year round in the uk spending about 5months a year in a hood. i now wear a durag under my hood just too stop me pulling hair when i take it off. seems to keep it together. it dont reli matter. u can allways by an extra large hood, and let your dreads hang out the back at the neck. it keeps the wind chill off and its needeed for those duck dives.
as for sucure resin it works all year but the key reli is in the name. heat wont make it go off. it can spend a week by a heater and still b tacky but 10mins in the sun itll b as hard as rock

The hood my dad has is seperate. 5mm I think. And I'm pretty far from vancouver. I'm in Virginia
It's not nearly as cold here. The water's in the 40's- 30's. Mixed with the cold and wind. Brr. I see guys out there though. But do you know if the dreads around you just tied them back and squished them down? I don't know. I think I'm just worrying too much about damaging and pulling hair. I think it's possible to surf with dreads in winter. Or at least worth a shot. But thanks to you and everyone else for you advice. I appreiciate it alot (:Knottysleeves said:
I live on Vancouver Island, and the west coast of the island (Tofino) is a mecca for winter surfing and storm-watching! I surfed there in August and damn it was cold, even with the thick wetsuit... I can't imagine doing it in December. But I get cold really easily, so I'm sure a normal-blooded surfer would be fine.
The diehard surfers seem to love going out in winter.
Anyways, all the winter-surfing dreadheads I've seen out here use a regular wetsuit with a separate hood, rather than the kind with the hood attached. I imagine it's easier to move their heads that way without having a huge bun of dreads smashed against their neck.

I was thinkinkg the same to myself. But I haven't surfed since early November. Imiss it. And I'd like to try surfing in the winter. I heard the breaks are a lot nicer and it's not as crowded. My dad has all the gear, so why not? I just don't know if anyone has had any bad expierences. Because the neoprene hood( like a wetsuit for your head) is pretty snug. Ha. Suncure is like an instant resin to cure dings in your surfboard.. But thank you for your advice, and Happy holidays.

whats suncure?
and
well
to put the hood on sounds painful to me but heres what id do 1st
u want to pull your dreads back and put on the wetsuite over em with the dreads inside the suite
next pull the hood on over your face (not head) pulling it back so it pulls all the hair towards the back where its tucked into the suite
next go around your face tucking uin anything that escaped
now if your dreads are new this is gonna tear em up a bit id bet
but again why surf in winter.. its cold to tell u to stay out of the watertill its hot again

I don't know if anyone can really help me out but it's worth a shot (: does anyone here surf in coldwater? I would like to know how people put on a hood with dreads. I mean. It's supposed to be water tight. I dunno. Any other advice on surfing in the winter would be helpful to. Thanks everyone.Oh, one more quick question. Does anyone know if suncure will work when it's about 40 degrees out? I don't want to mess these dings up anymore. Thanks again.
