Born in storms on the open sea, waves do not have gentle
beginnings. They
are
wild at birth. Through the
discipline of wind and gravity, they are transformed into
rhythmic swells of uniform height still containing the power
of the storm which formed them as they travel across
thousands of miles to distant shores.. As the swells
enter the shallow coastal waters they crest, and in one last
dramatic moment, display their power and beauty as they
break onto the shores of their destination. It is here
at the death of a storm's energy that the surfer connects
with the wave, using it to express himself, just as a
painter uses the canvas, or a dancer the stage. It is
here between the wind and the water, that man performs an
intense duet with the SEA. . . . It
is then that. . . .
