SURFING “One of the greatest things about the sport of surfing is that you need only three things: your body, a surf-board, and a wave.”- Naima Green BASE CAMP MOUNTAINS GREENHORN BOAT SHOP EXPEDITIONS T-SHIRTS THAT DONT SUCK FILM SAILING CONTACT Surfing may represent one of the hardest sports to describe on paper, but to those who paddle out and ride waves there is nothing like it. It cannot be fully regulated or made to follow any pattern, therefore it remains as an example of the world without gadgetry and meaningless gear. Anyone that tries to ascribe structure or time restraints to a boundless ocean deserves a cubicle and a good office job. But for every surfer there is a time when the currents of the ground swell, the wind, the shifting peaks of waves become knowable. Like a foreign language that slowly becomes familiar, surfing speaks to the primal undercurrents of the wanderer in all of us. Surfing melds movement with nature and expounds our connection to the sea. There is no bigger discrepancy between a thing that actually exists and a lack of any sufficient explanation for it. As Emerson says “No answer in words can solve a question of things.” Matt Warshaw makes his own attempt in the following passage: “Surfing, alone among sports, generates laughter at its very suggestion, and this is because it turns not a skill into an art, but an inexplicable and useless urge into a vital way of life.” FUTURE SURF TRIPS SITE LEGEND EXPEDITIONS BASE CAMP T-SHIRTS THAT DONT SUCK GREENHORN BOAT SHOP CONTACT FILM PHOTOGRAPHY MOTIVATION MOUNTAINS SURFING THEORY SAILING FOUNDING BROTHERS MISSION STATEMENT WANTED POSTER COMPENDIUM PROJECTS AXIOM APPRENTICESHIP
