Happy New Year from the Dominican Republic. My New Year's resolution is to drink less frequently, exercise more and learn to surf. How about yours?



I’m 32, took my first surf lesson in November and absolutely loved it, bought a board that weekend. I’ve gone out whenever I can since then, about once a week at the moment and still loving it even though my stand-up count is still not that high. It’s such a unique and challenging sport, I’m so glad I tried it, good luck out there!


I’m planning to smoke weed less frequently (daily -> weekly), get a job, exercise more, and learn to sail!

Happy New Year!


My email is always open to any hacker news members with sailing ambitions.


Good luck!


Anecdotal tip. It’s next to impossible to drop from daily to weekly. It has to be way more infrequent- like biannual for you to not fall back into daily usage.


I want to build my first ever game on the app store. Never made an app before but I have a cracking idea which I am too scared to hire a developer in case they pinch it, so I’m enlisting my partner to help make it. Other than that, just hope I can start to make amends with the fact I have no friends (warning: never hire your friends, it’s devastating when they shit on you and thieve from you). Happy new year!


Funny, mine is to quit the gym, and reduce the amount of pressure and stress I put on myself.


Very similar to my last several resolutions! One of these years I'll follow through with them.


Same to 1 and 2. For 3, learning to ski rather than surf due to my location :)


Skating here! That one's mine since a few months, and my resolution's to learn to ollie, so I can start exploring things beyond just cruising.

Picking up skating was also causally responsible for getting me to quit unneccessary drinking (they're incompatible choices), so I endorse the sentiments in this thread. I think they're smart ideas. Work hard at your goals!
