Persistence is everything
Persistence is everything
What is it about surfing? It’s really exceptionally hard, ego crushing, scary, tiring and stressful.
Other surfers can often be dicks, so it’s even more stressful, and everyone in the water seems to be getting waves except you, including the 300lb super fat dude. It doesn’t scream “the best time ever” to me.
But here I am, driving two hours north for the third time this week, standing in the rain, battling my way into a wetsuit, to go fight my way through the white wash, to paddle my way into, most likely, no actual waves but a lot of poundings.
