I wish I could surf really well. Get out in some 10 or 12 foot pumpers and ride some barrels, cruise the green room. That looks so bloody awesome.

Many obstacles are in my path. Lack of physical strength (for paddling out). Very susceptible to cold especially from being in water (due to being so thin). Lack of good surf nearby. Lack of board, suit etc.

I could do it if I really wanted to, but I don't want to badly enough to do all the work I would have to do to get there from here. And that, I think, applies to very many idle fancies I have. I'd like to be a virtuoso musician, a polyglot, a yogi, a third-dan aikidoka, and rich as all hell. In reality, I prefer to spend my free time hanging with my friends or going hiking.
