Kansas Surfers

Agreed on all points, however I have never lived in Hawaii, which I think would truly fuk me in the head for life.

The last sentence is the most poignant. I could make more money doing the same job somewhere inland, but I choose to live a more modest life so I can be less than 10 minutes from my happy place. Is it limiting though? I don't know. What is the opposite of a 'limited' life, anyway? If it's happiness, I don't think i'm limited at all. I get to experience a moment of zen almost every time I paddle out.

Perspective.

OK, out of my head and back to work....

 

Hey Toonces, if you leave your dream jobbe in RI, can you train me and hook a cracker up? I wouldn't be able to deal with tropical spiders anyway, I'll take my little Rhody waves.

 

What I mean by limiting is that if you make proximity to surf a factor in where you spend your life, the world gets much smaller.

No amount of money can cure depression.
If you ever think about moving back, just know, 95% of the entire EC surfing population is jealous AF of your current situation. (the 5% are the Cokfvcks & Barrys of the world)

I'm with you. Not disagreeing, just thinking out loud (or in writing). Not sure my post even made sense.... coffee fueled philoso-babble haha

 

I could make a lot more money if I headed out to the Midwest.worst part is I actually enjoy my work..but I'm born n raised in nj,been here forever,only 10 minutes from the waves.i make a decent living,have a decent little house,have some decent boards,smoke excellent maryhewanas.i don't ask for much in life,just a few things and I'm good.i don't need to be rich to be happy...but some more doe would be nice

 

prioritas.
