Posted on December 22, 2015 by Shawn

Wind, an unseen force powerful enough to move ships across the sea. For those of you who windsurf, you understand the power of the wind and the thrill of hooking in and holding on.

Own the wave

Posted on December 18, 2015December 18, 2015 by Shawn

If you want to catch a wave, you have to own it. You’re either all in, or you’re all out. If you go for a wave and hesitate, you’ll either miss it or wipe out. If you want to move forward you just have to go for it. In life, opportunities come like waves. You may desire to Read more about Own the wave[…]

A friend once told me, “all things worth having require great sacrifice.” To catch a wave you must first make it to the lineup. It’s that place just beyond the breaking waves.

Get in the water

Posted on December 2, 2015November 30, 2019 by Shawn

It may seem funny to say this, if you’d like to surf you have to paddle out. Having all the right gear doesn’t make you a surfer. To be a surfer you have to get in the water. Life is like that.
