Great Misconception: Surfing is a Free Ride. Except that you need to get to the waves (when the waves are there), you need to be fed, you need to have a place to sleep, you need to feed again. A board, with no strings attached (pardon the pun). Oh, and don’t forget the process of paddling out at beach breaks as a commoner- no jet skis or boats… while your muscles burn…and you take whitewater on the head, repeatedly. All, at most, for seconds of Bliss. But it’s worth it, isn’t It ? Process, not Result, is a beautiful thing !
