What a needed dose of swell therapy that little unseasonable N swell was last week! A little dose of solid waves like that serves as a pleasant reminder of just how therapeutic surfing can be. Sure, almost any paddle out ends up being good for the soul/psyche, but getting good waves just takes that to a higher level. After an arvo session last week on one of those 90 degree days topped it off. I got out of the water after around a dozen long rights and felt a tangible looseness in my shoulders, neck, back, and mind. I felt alert, energized, creative, and motivated. Here's to surfing in July and the benefits it imparts into all aspects of my life.
