Why We Surf ! From OSSSreporter: PW  Surf Pics Page | Surf Photography From-Stephen Carpenter

listen man.....if you could only see the progression of this message board over the last year you would be amazed...j-staff (you don't often see him in here) started this site over two years ago for the "fun" of it....in the beginning it was just us....and all was well...we started playing around with the idea of trying to learn how to predict surf because it is what we love to do.it is what helps me thru some of the tough spots in life....the peace and solitude are refreshing and bring clarity to a world filled with meanness and hate....so we tried to learn....i went out on a limb and predicted a swell one day with information that just popped into my head...really no facts to back it up at all....it did not happen....man did i get abused on this board for calling a swell that did not even exist....iceman appeared....mpt appeared...not to lambast me but to help me.......slowly over time people have migrated to this site NOT ONLY for the wave forecast (which are usually spot on) but to find like minded people who are past the petty bs that SOME people like to throw around....we are older for the most part...seen all the bs..hell.... DID ALL the bs ourselves.....its all for nothing....taking positive energy and wasting it on things and ideas and misconceptions that are GONE tomorrow....dude say what you want...this is a free country and you can....but you have to be able to learn just to let the shit roll off your back and realize that some people dont want to hear or see that nonsense here.....there might be some things that you could learn (god forbid) from some of the silverbacks here but no one will ever take you seriously or even pay any attention to you if all they ever hear or see is negative input....i know this is not what you want to hear..but.....surfing IS about soul ....its not just a bunch of hype .....its you and the ocean....when you can go out on a cold dark winter day alone and have just as much peace and just as much stoke alone...with just YOU....no one to see how "good" you are...you are there....."good" is very relative....i'll never be as "good" as some of the guys i surf with...i dont care....that's not what it is about....for me anyway.....you wanted a response
...not a sermon so... I'll go now....
be cool man.

Notes: Right on bro! We all struggle to survive, and sometimes we forget to enjoy what this world has bestowed upon us.

Be Well!

Surfing is the Source! But, really we just want to know when it's breaking, so we can CHARGGGGGE !!!
