Big 'n junky
Clean n' Tiny
My dad used to say of political elections: "It does't usually come down to the choice between good or bad, but between what's bad, and what's worse!"
I think the same came be said about being a surfer in Maine: Do you want your waves big and junky? Or do you prefer clean and tiny?" The dichotomy of surfing here usually leaves no other options. But I think East Coasters, and New England surfers in particular are both appreciative and resourceful; we take what we can get and make the best of it. And I can't help but think, that that provides a larger lesson for approaching life. Sure, there will be those dreamy days when the cosmos align and everything goes your way...the rest of the time, ya hafta work at it, take it as it comes and don't bitch about how hard it is...if it was easy, everyone would be doing it...
