Optimists

Club House

A friend once pointed out that surfers are natural eternal optimists. Even the grumpiest of die-hard old-salt has the deep-seated glimmer of optimism. There's always the hope of something coming; the next wave, the next turn, the next swell, the next winter. This morning anyone that paddled out embodied that optimistic spirit to the full.

Over this side of the bridge we're all feeling a bit wave starved. Apart from that pulse on Melbourne Cup day it's been slim pickings, the banks are a little shot and the forecast a isn't looking great. But I'd be surprised if anyone's giving up and selling their surfboards. 

One day we'll surf again. For now I'm just enjoying the warm sunshine and quiet mornings.
