Date men from United States / California / Capitola, 44 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. I'm looking for a cool girl with whom to share some new adventures; someone to laugh with, to try out new restaurants with and that special girl that I can make laugh with my silly jokes. I'd like to find a partner in fun, to go wakeboarding/snowboarding/dirtbiking/surfing, to surprise with flowers on random occasions and someone to share a long term relationship.
How about a summer weekend wakeboarding? Fresh pow in Tahoe? - Let's hit it! I'm up for a day trip or a week. Vacation? Let's find a cool place in the tropics; I'll dive for our lobster dinner. France, Italy? I'm there - je m'appelle Ric!
About me: I'm adventurous, funny, intelligent, spontaneous, a bit sarcastic and have a generous nature. Awareness of the world/people around you and a desire to make the world just a TINY bit better each day are qualities which I admire. I've traveled quite a bit and lived in a great many places, which has given me an appreciation of foreign culture/food as well as helped to cultivate my generous nature. Although I haven't traveled as much in the last few years, I still believe "There's a whole world out there!" and I'd like to see it. I like to dream big; it might take a while but I'll get there. I figure if you've accomplished all your goals, you didn't set enough. Once I try something I like, I try to be the best I can at it. I'm pretty laid back; I wear shorts and sandals most of the time and hoodies in the winter. However, I can dress up too for the right occasion. I love the ocean (grabbin' abalone, lobster, fish) or surfing/kiteboardin'. Finding new restaurants is always fun; I always like to try new dishes rather than get the same thing every time. Thai, Mexican & all seafood are my favorites. I love telling stories; I've got a ton but I end up telling my favorites over & over (but I'm always trying to make new ones). I like to find the humor in a situation & I can laugh at myself too. I've got a photographic memory for movies - don't ask me why, they just stick in my head! I like to be different & push myself to be the best. I pay attention to the news, I vote & I'm financially responsible. Oh, and last but CERTAINLY not least, I love my Mom; she gave me so much.
(yeah I know, I could use some diversity in my pics - but there only seems to be a camera around when I'm on the boat!)
