The wave of the day does it for me big time. Nice work Steen Barnes , Shaun Anderson and Swellnet.
In one photo you've encompassed everything nice about surfing. If I was a wanker I'd say that it was perfect except for the fact he is in a wetsuit. Which it is , it's perfect .....except for the fact he's in a wetsuit.

Isn't it? It's a great example of unweighting a turn to control the drift. All his weight's on the front foot now with the cocked back leg just steering the tail through the turn.

The world is completely stuffed with rampant warmongers tearing the place apart while people can't find enough money to put a roof over their heads even with a full time job. It can get you down, even if you've got the good fortune to paddle out for a wave every now and then.

But thankfully we can log on and check the front page of swellnet and pretty often that daily wave, with its sometimes-fun-sometimes-thoughtful caption will lift you up a little bit. Today's one of those days.

Thanks all.
