Simplify. Just add water

I saw this in a recent surf magazine. It struck me.

And so, with you... I share:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Foam: Fiberglass: Fabric: Fun

Isn't this really all you need?

Local or transplant. Shortboarder or longboarder. Goofy or regular. Grom or veteran. Guys or girls. Amatuers or pros. Tow-in, paddle-in, chop hop or power turns. Boat trips, beach breaks, billion-dollar brands or backyard businesses. High fashion, anti-fashion, fashionista, fashion victim, art scene or action sport. Lifestyle or marketing ploy. In the know or outta the loop. Sanctioned or non-santioned. Copy cats or innovators. Leaders or followers. Hierarchy or anarchy. Oil or religion. Democrat or Republican. War or Peace.

When did life get so complicated? Simplify. Just add water.

I've been spending more time in the water lately. My shoulder is responding well to the PT and I've finally graduated to the point where I can surf again. I've been playing with some longerboards that my generous friends are willing to share with me. I've decided the 9'6 is too long. I quite enjoy the 9'0 though. But still, the 7'7 is more fun. Perhaps I'll find somthing around 8'3-8'5ish. I love it. Long or short. I love being in that water. It grounds me, and sets me free.

Rusty nailed it... simplify - just add water.
