I read an artacle by dave kalama, awile back
and he said ,there is an rethym to it, a kind of ebb and flow
i find when i get selfish about my water sports i get spanked from time to time.
Ifind when i give back to the sport,i get little payBacks! That make my day or even my week.
like helpn luanch the beach, or getting someones board for them,
tuch n base with someone who is dragg n (go ask if you can help)
I feel there is an religon to it ,and the water has a personelity all its own.
how you act, will determen your fun facter.

Dave Kalama = ultimate waterman and totally cool fellow. You ever see those American Express ads with Laird Hamilton, a pick-up truck, a dog and a friend? That's the guy. He has ruled the Northshore of Maui since day one in all forms; multi-sport athlete redefined.
I helped launch and land a few kites yesterday and am stockpiling Karma for my trip to the Big Surf later today! Hope I don't need to make a withdrawal.

Charlie's right about the karma thing not just being about launching/landing.
The surf community has a saying about picking up a piece of trash every time you go out and I think that the entire watersports community could emulate this and not just wait for the 'clean-up' days which are great things as well.
Someone had posted a while back asking Ollie to organize another cleanup day for Ashby beach. You don't have to wait till the official cleanup day. Just pickup a piece of trash next time you packup.
