    Yep. There is something to be said for that. I like sitting on the board for a while and enjoying the view before I commence looking like the novice I am, but I am usually a novice smiling ear to ear 🙂

      Hey, as Keala Kennelly said in “Step Into Liquid,” the best surfer is the one out there having the most fun. I believe that. 🙂

        Amen sistah amen… 🙂 and I can assure you I was always having fun even on those first days when on occasion I got whacked in the head by the board and other assorted calamities! BTW: I absolutely loved Step Into Liquid.

    Surfing is a joy that relatively few people on this planet enjoy. Life is beautiful.
