international surfing day

On June 20th, 2011, nOne Of us shOwed up tO wOrk. All Our cOmput-

ers shOwed screensAvers. everything wAs dArk And idle. there were

nO pAper JAms. nO cOOler tAlk. Just silence thrOugh the hAlls. the

rusty hOuse in newpOrt BeAch, hOwever, wAs Bustling. we’d tAken it

Over fOr the weekend, And On the mOrning Of internAtiOnAl surfing

dAy, we were up At 6 A.m., running thrOugh the hOuse in Our wet-

suits, lOOking fOr BArs Of wAx And cOffee. the wAves Out frOnt were

2- tO 3-fOOt And sheet glAss. nO One Out. we All hAd A skip in Our

step As we rAn tO the BeAch. we were BeAting the system.

i’m Often Asked By peOple, “sO whAt exActly is isd? i sAw it On

the news, But i dOn’t get it. i Just gO surf?” i struggle tO An-

swer. i run thrOugh A cAtAlOg Of well-knOwn surf clichés: “Only A

surfer knOws the feeling.” “dO whAt yOu lOve, lOve whAt yOu dO,”

etc., And still, i dOn’t think they’ll get it. BecAuse sOmewhere

in Our giddy gAllOp dOwn tO the shOre thAt mOrning in newpOrt is

the spirit Of isd. it’s nOthing mOre thAn thAt, either. it’s A dAy

tO ditch wOrk And gO surf And hAng Out with the peOple whO shAre

thAt giddy gAllOp with yOu. At surfing, we disregArd OBligAtiOns

And gO surf And we cleAn up the BeAch. thAt’s Our celeBrAtiOn. hOw

yOu dO it dOesn’t mAtter As much As the fAct thAt yOu tAke A mOment

tO enJOy the dAy.
