JOE:
Its the feeling of being free
Pause
Unlocked from everyday life
Pause
When you’re sat in an office, you’re pretty trapped there. Gotta do your hours, until you get home and go out on the surfboard and you just got nothing to worry about. It’s just away from everything.
Pause
When i’m out surfing I don’t think about anything, really.
Pause
Its just..
Pause
A clear mind
Pause
Its just….yeah
Pause
Think of the next wave
Pause
I feel the need to escape because life is just ..
Pause
It’s a pretty…… intense thing.
Pause
I think you just need these things to just enjoy it, and just take everything in.
Pause
The sea is a pretty powerful place to be harnessing that sort of power for yourself.
Pause
Mother Nature allows me to do something which I love…..pretty good feeling.
Pause
And thats what it’s mainly about, striving for that feeling, letting your escapism take over and rejuvenate your soul, even if it’s only for a moment.
