SOUL SURFING!!! Sometimes it overwhelms me just sitting out there feeling the swells pass under me. Then on a whim my wave comes and something takes over, my brain over loads and I get this drive, this confidence, this feeling of complete control. In an instant I'm rocketing into full force action like the world it's self is crumbling behind me as I blast down the face of existence surfing down this watery mountain side of ocean. There is no other feeling on this earth, no drug you can pump in your arm, no woman, that could blow your mind, nothing that can bring even close to that feeling of riding a wave. It's just different. Since the day I caught my first wave my soul became a part of the ocean.Today, there are millions of surfers all around the world. The first surfers to date were just a few crazy guys from Hawaii that just went for it! Paddling out on their ten foot or bigger planks of shaped Balsa, no leashes, no teachers, just them and the almighty ocean. These pioneers are the platform to each and every surfer today. We looked at what they accomplished and it has inspired us to take it even further. Now we have created high-tech, light, polyurethane foam surf boards, covered with fiberglass that allow us to achieve the unimaginable. We can ride faster, cut harder and challenge anything mother nature throws at us. The new boards are super light but strong enough to handle almost any person, any size, in most conditions. We have come so far in our surf technology a surfer can go out in any conditions, whether its freezing snowy winter or warm sunny beach weather. I personally have surfed Long Island New York with five feet of snow on the beach and the snow was so heavy at times I couldn't see in front of me. However after a nice piss in my snug 3.5 wet suit I was warm and cozy able to surf some incredible winter waves!
SOUL SURFING
The first time I caught a wave I was about 8 years old at smith point park beach. I remember having this white completely foam, 8 inches thick surf monster! The fin was even foam. I was stoked! Even then I felt it and I always knew I'd be a surfer. It became my full-time life around 18 years old and I have never looked back. There's something called flow in life and that is exactly how surfing is.The feeling of dropping in on a perfect wave should be in everybody's daily diet. It calms your soul, it helps you understand something only you can experience at that very moment. Just sitting out there looking around with dolphins popping up, huge turtles, stingrays all sorts of sea life, its life changing. The other day I surfed amazing waves down here in the dirty south and this particular morning two dolphins popped up about 10 feet from me. One of the dolphins started smacking his tail against the water and then diving into the air. I was astonished. To be this close to nature and natures natural mystics is truly what it's all about. If you get a chance in your life and you're not all ready surfing, get out there and give it a try, you might find a new found love for it all!
