That is about the best thing I have read in a long time.
Very well said.

You know whats funny, I had forgotten about this thread and was reading it from the start and when I got to that, I thought, darn! Thats good! and then I saw I wrote it and laughed for a half hour. Thanks for the kudo, I am better than I thought I was...
Surfing has brought me almost everything that is good in my life, I grew up 6 miles from Topanga beach, surfed since 1966 (11 years old) from Surfing I met Jesus, my wife and my best friends, in that order, now I surf with my kids, and it brings us closer, Surfing brought me a love of the ocean and nature which lead to Hawaiian culture and from there TiKi. With a love of art, I sought that which is in my heart which enforced the whole tropical/ocean/nautical/surfin/Hawaiian madness that I clump together as TiKi.
