A Song for Everything

Surf baby! Surfin'!!!
I'll leave this "Unknown" surfer instrumental for the guitarists to judge the interplay between the lead and rhythm guitars, and see if it's as good as the write-up says it is.


I'll risk the backlash for getting off of the surfing topic, easing off it by going with "drag racing," a somewhat related topic.

Drag Racing
 
This one is a little specific. Surfing is energy, and frantic, and sometimes fear. But there is a point...

I was surfing Mavericks after a storm. Mavericks is big waves. BIG WAVES. I had no business being out there on a borrowed stick. None at all. But there was this girl... And when I got dared, in front of Kelly, and she was going? No business at all, but there I was, paddling out into some of the most amazing curls I had ever seen. Movie big waves. And I was in the line up, then paddling. Paddling hard. Timing is everything in surfing, and I still wasn't getting it down right, but this time, on accident, it was perfect. I slid down a wall of water, and the wave curled over me. For the first (and one of the only times) I was in the tube. And everything went away, all the fear, all the noise, and it sounded like the first 20 seconds of this song.


Gotta be surfing.
Great story!! I went to Mavericks to watch the surfing contest. You can barely see anything from shore. The break is way out there and I think the surfers all got towed out.

Lets stick with racing.

We were dawn patrolling out. Sun hadn't even broken the hills yet. It was surreal, and I was terrified before and after. But during, and for a just a moment? Yeah. Spent the rest of the time getting rolled, heh.

Oh, and Kelly paddled over a kissed me for the first time after that run.
