Surrender to the Moment

 
 

When I first sat down to write this blog, I wanted to express the beauty and elegance longboarding holds. Erased line after erased line, the string of words could not match the self-expression and feminine endearment longboarding requires. My ego and masculinity wanted to force together words, hoping to create prose. Instead, I was faced with a challenge, similar to that of riding the nose or cross-stepping, to surrender.

To be frank, I do not think I achieved this in the lines, or photos, below. It’s still a work in progress for me!


Surrender to the Moment

Let go of your mind and embrace your feminine side. It is time to release your arms and dance atop your log. 

Gliding upon the ocean, step cross-legged across the plank, and meet change with elegance.

 
 

Dangle your toes over the edge, spread them wide, toss your arms to the sky, and embrace the moment like a child, for you will become an adult before your know it.

Remember, when you are ahead, take a step back, weight your foot, pivot, and rejoin the crowd with your nose pointed down the line, ready for take-off.
