One of my biggest regrets is never having lived somewhere where I can learn to surf and kitesurf. It's crazy, considering that some of my friends have been prominent members of the windsurf community worldwide.

I get to wake surf occasionally, but I think surfing is the best sport on the planet. Whenever I have lived near water, I've spent a ton of time in it. The closest I've ever come to the freedom of surfing is riding powpow up at Whistler and Blackcomb and other spots in BC.

Now that I am in my mid 50's I think I may have missed my window. But it warms my heart to see others that are embracing the lifestyle, even if later into their lives. Even though I have never surfed, I know so many of the world's best breaks by name just by the volume of surfing I watch on video. I have always longed for the ocean.
