I’ve watched a fair amount of surfing over the years since knowing Phil. I’ve actually identified two categories of surfers; sparrows and seagulls. The sparrows twitch, turn and jerk on the waves and although they can perform some spectacular feats and tricks, to me they don’t seem at one with the wave. Seagulls however glide effortlessly over the surface turning in smooth swoops and happy to go with the waves flow. Phil is like a seagull. In this photo the masters show how it should be done.
