The Logic of Nonsense

"I like nonsense, it wakes up brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."  Dr Suess

It takes some courage to look at life your own way and even more to share your views. We won't be fulfilled attempting to conform to the dreams or victories of others. And just as true, we won't likely do anything worth much discussion without realizing our own path.

Daring to Dream

 

Innovation never gets old to me.  For years, I evaluated my surfing by what I saw in magazines and in the water. What was being done by others. I never really paid attention to what I enjoyed most about surfing; small waves and flow. If I had, I would have been riding a long board years ago.

Now that I'm older and the ocean is a full two hours from where I live, my opportunity for time in the water is far less than it once was. The impact is all good; I now think about and prepare for surfing far more than I ever did (both mentally and physically) and I've moved to a longer board (a 7'6" fun board) forced by the small summer surf on the east coast. Most importantly, I love surfing again.

Derek Hynd has spent a lifetime innovating. His willingness to dance to a very different drummer tells us more than just that it's OK to think for ourselves. Derek's efforts urge us to let our dreams lead us.
