yes , I have loved surfing . And boards . And watching surfing . And reading about surfing . And photographing surfing . And dabbling with fins and the occassional boardmaking adventure while here in the west of oz.
still DO.
But now [ as I'm sure anyone who has moved after a few decades in one place , can testify ]...
" possessions " , though enjoyed , 'can' be "a millstone around my neck , at times ! ", as a mate so eloquently put it , recently ! [ are they perhaps 'possessions' , because they can have the capacity to 'possess' me / us ?]
with one board , a backpack , and a bit of [?lot of?] cash backup , moving would be so much easier / less traumatic ...
can you relate ?
some of you , who have moved overseas ... did you travel with [m]any boards / wetsuits / assorted paraphernalia ?
cheers !
