There is nothing like taking your time and waxing the surfboard. You have to feel the angles and the curves; the shape of the board is like the curls and cusps of the sea on a radical day at the beach. This is the anticipation. This is the preparation. It does not matter if you have an old school, classic Hawaiian long board, or a state of the art fiberglass surfboard, the Zen-like feeling is the same. You see the wave. It is a vision of perfection and harmony. You are an extension of the wave. You are Patrick Swayze at the end of the film Point Break.

From the coast of California to Mexico, from the South of France to the mega-waves in Australia, surfing is a lifestyle. Beach culture is laid back and Irie. Surfing is the extension of that lifestyle. Whether you are a beginner, amateur, or have been surfing your entire life, there is no greater feeling than hopping on a board and trying to catch a wave. You cherish a good day at the beach. Although you may not be rocking those pipeline waves, once surfing is in your blood there is no going back.
