How far have you gone to get a wave to yourself?

how pristine and perfect is that?

thats sick, i want to be there…

There are some isolated islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean, no snow, warm water, and well worth the extensive effort to get there and surf.

The chance of another boat being there is small, the chance of another surfer even smaller.

Being a dot in the middle of a big ocean, just sitting, looking around, grasping the reality of where you are, and waiting for beautiful waves. Peace of mind.

Let’s see…10 miles down the freeway, another couple of miles through ***** *****, park and walk another 1/2 mile through the wild tracks and paths, down the slippery cliff, a couple hundred yards along the beach and then starts the 1/4 mile paddle…Headhigh to well over head shifty glassy lumps. Every one of 'em was mine for the taking. Paradise is where you find it…

i think we all have that special place that you can always surf alone and perfect…

I always think to myself, how great would it be if I had a clean, roping break all to myself?

But wouldn’t you want to share it with your closest friends?

Wouldn’t you want to share the stoke?

Surfing by yourself works for many, including me.

If you paddle out by yourself, you paddle in by yourself.

I still get quite a few days alone around here. I like anothe guy out, though. Start thinking maybe the landlord will be out collecting the rent. Mike

I don’t miss living in an area where there is snow in the mountains, but I do sometimes miss playing in it.

i traveled 200 miles from my house and scored some perfect double over head reff break waves. and was usualy one of 4 or 5 guys out in the water.

and soe times no one paddles in at all
