Surfers are the βthrow-aheadsβ of mankind, not the dregs; they arenβt the black sheep of humanity, but the futurists and they are leading the way to where man ultimately wants to be. The act of the ride is the epitome of βbe here nowβ, and the tube ride is the most acute form of that. Which is: your future is right ahead of you, the past is exploding behind you, your wake is disappearing, your footprints are washed from the sand. Itβs a non-productive, non-depletive act thatβs done purely for the value of the dance itself. And that is the destiny of man.
