…and you may be surprised what you see.
You can read as many namby-pamby spiritualistic Dao-esque publications as you like, telling you to ‘live in the moment’ or ‘become one with you inner self’ but you’ll never reach enlightenment. You can ‘Om’ yourself into a state of nausea or stick crystals up your Chakras till the [...]

(unknown looking surprised at Supertubos)
Supertubos is a feisty wave even when it’s a few feet high. I sat on the beach and watched a few people getting spanked this morning and got a few nice pics too.
