"The grass is always greener over the septic tank."
- Erma Bombeck -
If I describe it, you may recognize it too.
to use a common turn of phrase.
What do I mean by that?
I often feel as though the waves are breaking better just a little south, or a short paddle north, of my precise position. Sometimes, both south and north.
I see one guy after another take off and ride a good wave. I wait and wait, until finally, it looks like something good is headed my way.
But, no, it backs down, fades, and turns into a ripple.
At the sound of a breaking wave, I turn to the north just in time to see someone else make the drop and start cruising.
The funny thing is, when I decide to head south, or when I move north, it’s almost as though a "cone of silence" follows me. As soon as I get to where the last great wave broke, good waves start breaking right on the spot I just left!
I've often said to fellow surfers: "Hey, I know two places where the waves break absolutely the best."
When they ask me where, I'm happy to tell them:
"The place I can't quite get to, and the place I just left."
with a sport as great as surfing, what do I have to complain about?
Thanks for your time and attention.
You are why I'm here on Steemit!
I have very eclectic interests and hope, over time, to write about them all.
