[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's not to understand?  On the east coast people do what you're [b]supposed[/b] to do on the beach- play in the water, lay in the hot sun (great for bringing a book), swim, collect shells.

I've never understood west coast beaches where you can only stare out at the water- it's very bizarre and BORING.

Maybe try going to the actual beach and stepping in the water and your basic human instincts will kick in and you'll do what comes naturally!  Enjoy.[/quote]

No that’s actually what I’m saying exactly. I have no interest in spending a day staring at the ocean or even getting in but only in the surf. When we went in my childhood it was to windsurf or kitesurf or boogie board. [/quote]

NP. OK, good for you? My kids love going to the beach and have tons of fun without windsurfing. Like, what do you want? No one needs to explain something that is clearly so popular that people pay thousands every summer to do it. A few days at the beach followed by cracking fresh crabs sounds pretty good right now.

And actually, I'm always shocked by the number of Europeans that flock to Florida for the beaches.  Just yesterday Tyson Fury was caught by the dailymail getting sunscreen rubbed on him by a woman in Miami while his gf is back home in London.  And I see so many European celebrities hanging out in Florida.  I'll tell you what, they are not flocking to Cannon Beach and spending days hanging out in those little rundown Oregon seaside towns[/quote]

In fairness Tyson Fury and fighters do a lot of travelling to train too so they are stateside a lot for business.

I always thought it was crazy my Italian family wanted to come to our boring suburbia and do weekend trips to the beach, NYC (that I get), the Adirondacks etc when they live in pastoral, gorgeous Italian countryside towns 30 min from the sea. But at the end of the day, that s boring suburbia for them too. People just like a change of pace [/quote]
