These three words are the criteria for which surfers are judged when they ride a competitive wave at the Olympics.
I like them. I also like the philosophy. Maybe speed and power
are less subjective, but the notion that judges are rendering opinions about flow
makes me mentally whoop with joy.
When I read the judging criteria, I had a flash of
recognition as I review my own activities in a similar fashion. It’s not about
going the fastest, or doing the most, there’s a je ne sais quoi to flow,
or style, vibes, or whatever, that can bring an experience up or down. It’s
the invisible, crucial element to a ski run, cooking a tasty meal, doing the
grocery shopping.
Life is to be lived.
Stoke!
