If it looks good, don't just sit there, paddle over and get it!
Don't always judge the surf report. Get out there and judge the waves for yourself.

I discovered this really cute book
"Everything I Know About Dating I Learned Through Surfing" recently. Authors Nancy Spooner & Tara Bouwer, both surfers themselves, take surfing advice and relate it to dating. The result is a super fun read, and the illustrations (done by Tara), are absolutely beautiful. It's definitely on my gift list for all my girlfriends.
