New Year’s Resolutions (for surfers)
Good advice! From a post last year by Zach Weisberg of Inertia.com.
1. Surf at sunrise whenever possible. There’s no better way to start a day. Period.
2. Give someone a wave. Don’t get me wrong, we’re all looking out for number one in the water, but on rare occasions when a stranger gifts a wave to another stranger, it’s disarming and impactful. Make someone’s day. Give ‘em a wave.
3. Try something new. Whether you choose an alaia, a SUP, a hand plane, or a piece of unshaped foam, introducing a new element to sometimes-repetitive surf schedules always seems to rekindle the fire.
4. Keep the conversations going. If you’re passionate about something surf-related, say so. These conversations ensure that the sport evolves in the right direction, and can be especially effective when stated reasonably.
5. Turn off your computer. I might be talking to myself more than to anyone else (and offering advice that runs counter to my interests), but staring at my MacBook’s glowing LCD has taken a significant toll on my circadian rhythm – among other things. The Internet is cool, but playing outside is (and always will be) cooler.
