anyone, here get this after surfing alot? it’s just a state of complete happiness and even though i have two huge projects in school due with this week i am not at all worried or stressed aaaah. it feels good. there are no drugs involved in this if you are wondering.
Couple that with boardmaking euphoria and you get pretty high sometimes.
It’s the reason most of us are hooked.
I get as many [if not more] endorphins (tingling all over) even an hour after an average surf , than I do from riding a bike for an hour , I reckon .
…imagine what the TOW-IN guy’s must feel !!!
For days afterwards , Ross Clarke-Jones commented once .

i believe that’s what we call “the stoke”…and it appears you’ve found it…bravo.
What I think is truely great, is that the ‘stoke’ is a universal feeling all over the surfing world…
The only way to really measure a stoke is to see how happy you can get, and how much you forget about the stress in your life at that point in time.
Just describing certain moments to other surfers and they know the EXACT feeling you had, thats a pretty crazy idea…
Stokes make the world go round.
CHIPPY, exams are over in just a bit more than 1 week and then we are getting out for a surf i swear!
One Love,
