What The Sea Gives Me
This is how it works.
If we let Hollywood fund and produce surf films we get the "Beach Blanket" movies.
Perhaps entertaining in spots but not real surf movies.
If you want good surf movies we all need to throw in a little something for seed money.

These are the same people (misfit productions) that brought us Manufacturing Stoke.
I'm sure you remember how great that movie was.
This is their next effort.

Ever since I heard the title I have been thinking about this movie.
What does the sea gives me?
Entertainment, recreation, on a good day maybe even dinner.
As I peel back the layers of the onion, I find that what the sea really gives me a path back to a functional relationship with nature.
My weekdays, probably like many of you, starts with a few hours connecting to servers located who knows where, making sure that commerce can continue for another day.
After that I spend more precious moments of my life with a few thousand of my closest friends and neighbors on the 405 freeway heading south in a effort not unlike salmon heading upstream to spawn and die. Except we go upstream and go to meetings. We are also lucky enough to repeat the performance some hours later headed in the opposite direction.
The next day the process repeats itself.
Without the sea, without surfing, I would have become the Borg long ago.
Resistance, as we all know, is futile.
Just part of the collective.
A mass consumer in a school of mass consumers.
But the sea gives me a chance to escape.
I meet like minded individuals and groups.
Sharing our love of the ocean and the waves.
When is the storm coming? How is the swell? Has the water warmed up yet? Have you seen the new fins? When does the new Journal come out? Twin fins or Quads? Long boards or short boards? Is it fun out there? Are we riding the mats today or enjoying the purity of body surfing?
The sea gives me a path back to a simple relationship with nature that I don't find in today's urban environment.

It's like passing through the gates of Disneyland.
