Are like no others!

When you are surfing the primary focus is on catching waves or not getting killed by them. The rule is this: No matter what is being spoken about if a decent wave appears on the horizon all conversation ends until one surfer has caught the wave and paddled back out.

Imagine this…

“Hamo my marriage is on the rocks, I’ve lost my job and I’m about to commit suic…

“Hang on mate – watch out”

(5 mins later)

“Go on… what were you saying?”

Sounds absurd but its not far from reality!! The thing is that surfers understand – it sounds rude to other people, but it amazing how long a conversation can take on a good day.
