Sometimes you just are sitting by yourself or with a few bodies around you and it's like your little voice starts going - "GET OUT!". But other places, like OB - i rarely get that feeling - even though i know it's a place frequently visited by Uncle Whitey. cheers,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312712281221533133.post-7641596171987254252009-01-29T17:11:00.000-08:002009-01-29T17:11:00.000-08:00"These days i just try to ignore it and when i can..."These days i just try to ignore it and when i can't ignore it - i go find some lonely peak down the beach. stay cool and keep wet."- Anon<BR/><BR/>Good words.

A drive down the coast a mile either way can yield un crowded perfection. It's damn hard to stay cool when you have people around you in the water with no clue - and those that have plenty of knowledge but refuse to use it.<BR/>These days i just try to ignore it and when i can't ignore it - i go find some lonely peak down the beach. stay cool and keep wet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312712281221533133.post-40735192361283985252009-01-27T21:45:00.000-08:002009-01-27T21:45:00.000-08:00K1- nice summary. digging your sepia portfolio of ...K1- nice summary. digging your sepia portfolio of recent days<BR/><BR/>Eef- May you never have need to contend with the hordes that inhabit my surfing dreams and nightmares.

I guess i'm lucky cause i like small and average waves :D<BR/><BR/>A friend of mine always keeps surfing when he gets dropped in on, trying to get as close to the other surfer as possible and smiling brightly. Not many people try that a second time :D<BR/><BR/>Eef<BR/>monsterboards.orgEefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03089505021766720781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312712281221533133.post-45927704837257243762009-01-26T05:22:00.000-08:002009-01-26T05:22:00.000-08:00Great post...Keep'in it all in perspective, thats ...Great post...<BR/><BR/>Keep'in it all in perspective, thats what keeps you sane.

Really it's like the first time you realize, as a teenager or whenever, that you're having bad sex. It's still sex, and as a youngster you should be stoked just to be getting your duck in the mud.<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to apply that bit to other aspects in life like not getting pissed in traffic. Unfortunately, commuting is nothing like surfing OR sex, so I might have to take up meditation or some such thing!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>DavidDavid J.
