May be time to rethink some attitudes?

Someone forwarded me this article and I thought it was worth sharing. It's all about how you look at things, I suppose.

As a veteran (I'm over 40 now, can I say that?) bodyboarder, I have traveled the world and met all sorts of surfers, spongers, waveriders, paddleboarders, locals, you name it. Most, simply love the ocean and being able to get in the water every chance they get. In some cases, a bodyboarder is an  unwelcome addition to the lineup, simply because of their board choice. Why is that? Why can't mutual respect be, well, simply just that? Is it really that hard? Hell, I can "stand up" surf too, but does that make me a better waverider, a "real" surfer?  The older I get, the more I just shake my head and think  - if you only knew how many heavy barrels I've been in...........and out of   ;-)

See you in the water. I'll be smiling, hope you are.
