Sometimes it's too small. Too weak or windy. Jellyfish or sea lice. Red tide or runoff. Restricted to surfboards or a 30-knot current ripping down the beach. Sometimes it's just straight-up flat. You can't always surf.
But you can always go surfing -- in your mind. You can drink the same coffee, jam the same pre-session song, call the same buddies and grab a paddle or a pole, a boogie or a rope, a kite or a pair of fins. Or just stretch your own God-given oars and channel all that potential energy and bottled surf stoke into something more kinetic -- something visceral and pointless and relaxing and invigorating and spiritual and
romantic and thrilling and sketchy and insane and hilarious all at the same time... just like surfing. Only it's not.
You can't always surf. But if you're up for it, you can always stay wet.
