Surfing Waves

Yesterday my mother would have been 101, she didn’t live that long sadly ( and she would have hated being that old) she fervently hoped that I would outgrow the surfing phase! Possible growing up too!

Mum I’m still surfing at 72, my first marriage failed, surf widow + syndrome and other factors, I generated my profession and framed it so I could surf , I found a second surf supporting wife and taught my stepsons to surf, I weathered potential Vietnam call up, went from long to short to long.
My profession sent me to many Pacific and and Indian Ocean islands, surfing.
Now I call Austria home and surf rivers, Thanks Mum but I still haven’t grown out out of surfing, I have bought a large whiskey cask lovely oak, I will be cremated one in that, definitely my last barrel. Probably Bruichladdigh whiskey, Celtic for raised beach.
Cheers, Mum and all of you love writing for the forum!
