Title: I was asked (rightly so) to introduce myself....
Post by: nicolasraage on June 29, 2008, 02:47:04 AM: Sorry for not introducing myself the other day. I posted my first post, shortly after I shaved my head for the first time.

My name is Craig, (nicraage/ nicolasraage- has been my online name since college --in the 90's--. I was told (for years, and still am) that I looked like nicolas cage... so I started to say, "im nicolas rage.. I make adult films..., ha ha ha....) anyways, I kept the online name....

I live in Gainesville Georgia (recently), but I am from Florida. I'm from Jacksonville Beach, and Cocoa Beach. I love to surf, kite surf (still a novice, but it's addictive), and love all adrenaline sports.

I've only been "SLY" for a few days, but I think I may be for much longer. I'm "BBC" (not that it matters, because we are all here regardless....) and I love the forum. I have made a shopping list already... so far it has a Styptic Pencil and shaving OIL on it.

I didn't think of taking a before pic, but I found a recent one.

Thanks for the comradery.

I'm sure I'll get plenty of biased responses about my bald head :D but, here are some before and after pics

Dude, you're practically there already! It'll only take 2 or 3 days to grow back to where it is now. You really can't lose. Just do it; you'll be glad you did. :)

Have to agree... from ordinary looking Joe to way cool shaved dude. Of course we're biased too, but it is a great improvement.

Post by: Robmeister on June 29, 2008, 09:17:16 PM: Welcome, brutha !

Yeah, the SLYness adds a certain edge that is better.... in a way that's hard to explain....other than you look better.

You do look like a cross between Nick Cage and Kevin Costner @n(

I'd love to surf the west coast, the waves are so much better, but have you noticed that we breed more top pro's than anywhere else in the country? That is because we have to work a wave when we get one. I'm nowhere near their class, but Ive surfed with both kelly slater, and todd holland, both great guys. My best friend grew up as friends (actually kelly's older brother, who is not a great guy)

I started getting into kite surfing before I moved to georgia. Its tough looking at my kite and board in the garage here. I'll probably have to learn all over again if I get back to the beach.
