Let's let 'er rip, time to huck a few for the chicks near the beach.
Chill a minute. Just chill and listen to an OG. (Some will, most will not, pearls before pigs, I can dig it.)
1. This thang is the center of the known universe, for some of us more of a religion than sport (sports include bowling and golf
.) It requires something from us, is bigger than any one of us, and we have a responsibility to it that goes beyond our daily session. 2. Responsibility begins with safety, yours and others. If you hurt yourself, the thang suffers; suffers in the media, suffers in the backrooms where issues of access are discussed. Hurting yourself is NOT COOL. You may think it is, but you'd be wrong. Do not believe everything you think.
3. If you hurt others, well, see No. 2, above. 'Nuff said.
4. Kitesurfing is not about being cool. Now, the thing is it is actually very cool to kitesurf, But at its core, kitesurfing is about something way bigger than image, Can you dig it, do you dig the distinction? Its cool, but way bigger, got it? So in trying to be cool, you missed it.
Instead of cool, try to be an able-seaman, pay you dues, look around you, give something back. You will in doing so become a member of a brotherhood. Way cool, right, but the image is by-product.
Enough, this sounds like some f+++ing lecture or sermon. Just have seen a lot of craziness at the beach in the last month and needed to get this off my chest. Thanks for listening.
Feel free to add your own if you feel the need.
