Ski Tip Or Surfboard?

Like many a weekend warrior, the discussion of gear is necessary, timely, and fun.

Having outdoor recreational pursuits is of tantamount importance, for my life would be diminished without such. I've heard freestyle sports such as skiing or surfing described as a form of ecstatic dance. Works for me.

I will continue to bring up my kids in the belief that outdoor recreation, even a walk in the park, is more than the mere pleasant passing of time, something akin to brushing the teeth of one's mind, a basic health requirement.

When I have a moment for myself I will steal away for a taste of the outside -- the car stereo plays songs infrequently heard, my thoughts drift far and wide, I return refreshed.
