No, it would be awesome. I've always wanted to try becoming a surf bum. I'd have to wear ear plugs in the water though, I've heard that surfing can be hard on your ears.
I have surfed my whole life, and I do have Surfer's Ear. My right ear is apparently 70% closed off by boney growths that are the result of cold water. Funny thing is, I have little to no hearing loss and apparently (according to all the audiologists and ENT's), my Surfer's Ear has no link to my T !! I kinda wish it did, because there is a surgical procedure for S.E. (It's gnarly though, they essentially drill the stuff out of your ear!!! ) But I'd be willing to do it if it would take away my T!!! Hudson, come to San Diego and I'll make you a surf bum!!
I have absolutely no problem crashing on your couch. Is that cool? In fact, I have a king size bed and often sleep on my couch. Lol
