Who recently made this analogy; Surfing is something that most of us can relate to. You have been floating around, frustratingly inactive for some time; beginning to get cold and thinking of ‘packing it in’; and then you see it, at first a hint of darker water a mere shadow, the possibility of something that you can ride all the way in.
