Waiting for a wave

My Mind: "Is this the right spot? Where is my beach marker?"

Often there are secondary swells that push me out of position and I have to focus on holding a good takeoff spot. The side swell can also force me to angle right to catch a wave before turning left to ride it. I love that surfing gives me so much to think about....every...single...time I paddle out!

Wow! I can't believe I never heard of him before. He is even more of a loon than the other two.

John Lilly was the guy's name. I couldn't remember it. Thanks.

To each their own. I’ve been known to explore the whole psychonaut world (responsibly and as a sort of form of therapy), from psilocybin to ayahuasca and there’s a lot that Terrence taught that I can see/relate to. But then again, some would call me a loon as well.

I think that using psychedelics changes the way your mind works and if you aren't careful you start to believe your hallucinations or altered states. It seems to happen with lots of smart people who used a lot of psychedelics.

There is not a single word of this I disagree with. I just don’t see anything negative in there either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The bad part to me is they start to promote nonsense instead of science as they once did. They make everyone who believes them a little dumber. Some supposed eureka moment realized by use of drugs becomes a dogma they chase and fail to recognize their loss of touch with reality even in the face of the evidence they have in their own hands.

If there aren’t many waves I’m usually second guessing myself and trying to figure out if I should paddle over to a different peak.

As soon as I paddle to a different peak, the first one fires!

So true. Then I'd paddle back to the first peak only to see a nice wave rolling to the second peak!

take a wiz in my wetsuit (I admit it!),

I peed in my wetsuit once, because I heard that people do that. Then I got out of the water and my wetsuit smelled like piss. I just bought a very nice Feral wetsuit that wasn't cheap. I don't piss in my clothes on land, nor do I piss my clothes in the water. But that's just me.

I don't either and I'm not lying ... some days my xcel suit gets only barely damp if anything so I don't want to be sitting in a pee soaked wetsuit.
