Riding the energy - connections with the universe. An excellent article for those of us who don't surf, by Maura R. O'Connor on what draws surfers to those Big waves.

What value, we may ask ourselves,  does it have beyond personal pleasure? </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.enlightennext.org/magazine/j33/surfing.asp">In fact, explains thirty-five-year-old big wave  surfer Dave Kalama, those moments when you step over the edge of what you think  is possible are among life’s most profound “because they are the times when you  call upon or you experience the deepest sense of who you are. . . . There is  something about riding a sixty-foot wave that draws something out of you. The  wave commands so much focus and so much attention that it’s the only thing that  matters. It’s very purifying, because as far as you’re concerned, nothing else  exists.” </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/53296D5D-C33C-446F-9F60-5F67ED6BD6BA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
