Surf’s Up

Not all who surf are young, hot hard bodies. This may come as a surprise to you, as it did me, but it’s the truth. There are all types out there. I’ve seen grandpas, large bodies, even Santa Claus. Of course, I’ve seen my share of hotties, both male and female, but most everyone seems to be fairly normal. It’s neat… and makes me feel kind of dumb for taking Hollywood seriously. Haha.

Watching people surf is a lot of fun. I haven’t seen any sweet rides (??) yet but I suppose I haven’t been hanging out where the sweet waves are either. There seems to be a lot of waiting involved, which I never thought about. I told Matt that I could sit out there on my board, chatting and paddling around all day. He laughed. He’s cool like that. I’m not sure that I’ll ever want to actually surf though. It seems fun but I’m not the best swimmer and I’m not the most coordinated, two things that seem key.

I guess you never know… maybe after watching for awhile I’ll get the bug to try it. But for now, I watch. Gladly.

Maybe surfing doesn’t require those things of you so much as it is begging to teach them to you. Perhaps surfing is the key to overcoming both the inability to swim as well as your lack of coordination rather than a determinant of how well you would actually do once you got out there.

Either way, good luck.
