In my defense, I have not been surfing very long, and I had the photo taken on the glassiest day I have ever surfed. Of course, surfers don't surf for photos, so I think that having a picture taken during the worst day is the best idea. That way, no good waves are wasted on things like photography.
"Delay is natural to a writer. He is like a surfer—he bides his time. Waits for the perfect wave on which to ride in. He waits for the surge (of emotion? of strength? of courage?) that will carry him along." (E.B. White, The Paris Review Interviews, 1969)

It's a funny thing
This Wednesday, one of my students poked fun of my "surfing" picture on my website. He mentioned that it isn't very "marketable," to which I replied I was surfing and not selling it. I invited him to photoshop it and sell it if he likes (he actually has a great sense of humor, so I was only bantering in fun). Ironically, Netflix had sent me the movie "Step Into Liquid," so I got to see some of what I'm being compared against that night.
