the BIG three intangibles:
Feel, Mojo, Luck?
Luck
don't know how many times i've read either in the paper or
in the forums about these four leaf clover covered and golden horseshoe up their arses people that go out for their first time and land themselves a fifty at the first place they ever go to................
Mojo
while karma is not something that i base my life practices on, it is one of the principals of the wacky world we live in. i prefer to base my actions on the higher good and reap what i sow ~as the Good Book tells us~ certainly, there are some things that just "come together" on some nights that make ya wonder who's keeping score in the Big Game called Life..............
Feel
prolly the most difficult to master of all the intangibles; yet, some people are just born with it and have been blessed with an uncanny ability to locate fish/read water/instinctively "know" where the fish are. as if they can "see" them under the water and behind that submerged ambush rock, creative visualization and several legends come to mind...............
sooooo.............
how much of what we do is based on which?
or can they be ranked in order of importance?
if ten surfcasters with the same amount of time in the surf and equal in technical abilities all went to the same spot, under the same conditions, and worked the same offering; then how much do the above intangibles determine who hooks up, and who Lands LAHHHHGE??
rhetorical, i know,,,,,,,,,,,,and the best of the best prolly incorporate all three into their best nights in the surf. this has just been a crude attempt to quantify the immeasurable or evaluate the non-technical/more esoteric side of this thing that we do.
and until i get better at technique, it's ALL i've got
