And the wave as a woman put me on a different foot too.<br /><br />Really enjoyed it, took me straight out of my comfort zone and I'm the better for that!

Grateful for the comment.
...Thanks <b>Strummed Words.</b> Grateful for the comment.<br /><br /><b>Dick</b><br />Thanks ery much for the feedback. I do agree with your remarks about the compatability of surfing and the arts, though I have now got an impulse to try something for my oher two sporting loves, canoeing (which obviously is not too far from surfing) and cycling - which, actually is not to a great way removed from canoeing. Whether I will or not remains to be seen.<br /><br /><b>TechnoBabe</b><br />Thanks - a much appreciated comment.<br /><br /><b>Derrick</b><br />Did a bit in an amateurish way with the children. More seriously did some canoe surfing.<br /><br /><b>Tommaso</b><br />Thanks for the comment and for the steer. I have not heard of "Breath", but I think I may well track it down. Sounds like a book for me.<br /><br /><b>Totalfeckineejit</b><br />Careful, now!<br /><br /><b>Gwei</b><br />Very generous. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Jinksy</b><br />I'm a sucker for all three.<br /><br /><b>Peter</b><br />Not too cold, I hope.<br /><br /><b>NanU</b><br />Writing that had the same effect on me.<br /><br /><b>MadameDeFarge</b><br />No excuse: at school I was diving for my house before I could swim - the trick is to not let go of the board. Oh, you do need to be able to tread water.<br /><br /><b>The Lady in Red</b><br />Thanks for that.<br />You too have a good week.<br /><br /><b>Windsmoke</b><br />Surprised, but thanks.<br /><br /><b>Karen</b><br />It'll do me fine!

Amongst sports, surfing seems to lend itself particularly effectively to artistic celebration, as witness the commitment of an entire sub-genre of rock and roll to it! So why not poetry too.
