How about instead of raising your hopes to being a rich pro, lower your taste for expensive things, move to a cheap third world country and just chill.
I'm not looking to be a rich pro at all. I am looking at being really good at what I like and maybe compete anywhere and you know, and do very good. I doubt I can be like any guy that appears in quicksilver youing guns and whatnot. But I want to get as closer as I can and be able to go to surf to all those beautiful places.
. I've lived here in Oahu for over a year. In before hawaiisucksexceptsurf, but HI isn't exactly paradise. HEAVY traffic problems coupled with poorly maintained roads (come back in 50 years when they finally decide to build the rail), locals who hate everyone caucasian, and iffy education quality. You can't get better surf than here though.
