I have one phrase that I use to describe it – IN THE BELLY OF THE MOMENT – you will see what I mean when you are lying flat on your board watching the next set roll in… bliss.

Quite co-incidentally I found myself on Blouberg and watched the surfers. I was amazed at the amount of energy it must take to ride the waves seemingly so easily. I realised that so much planning learning, strategy and discipline had to accompany this exhilirating sport. Thanks Donna for the analogy and I hm sure you are enjoying the waves by now.

Very good analogy between surfers and life. Find it very inspiring

Well done.

The very essence of our beings is captured in those incredible moments, the staring at the ocean is as if not more important than the actual riding of a wave, the riding of a wave is short lived and happens many times in a surfing session, punctuated with long periods of just waiting.

Life is this, short lived excitement with long waits between.
The more you study the ocean the more you learn how it works, being good at something takes attention to the details that many people disregard.
Time you came for a paddle, a sit and a long meaningful wait.
