“Angelo, this is for little rubber people who don't shave yet." This quote — from a critically acclaimed 1991 film about a gang of highly motivated bank robbers in President Nixon masks being pursued by a young quarterback punk FBI agent and his partner, who loves meatball sandwiches — refers to surfing. But that statement is factually incorrect. We hope you share the view that while the film itself sounds interesting, surfing is truly for everyone, not just for little rubber people, and it doesn’t cost much. Certainly, not so much that anyone would need to rob banks to enjoy it. Like most spiritual practices, it costs almost nothing. And yes, surfing is genuinely a spiritual practice. One that started over a thousand years ago, and as you’ve likely guessed, that’s where we’ll begin our journey into the roots, history, and significance of surfing.
