I am always waiting for waves. Whenever the surf is up, life goes on hold. The logic is simple: we wait for the waves; the waves do not wait for us.
Phayam Island is not well known for its surf, but I can assure you that the waves can and do arrive. When the goddess of the sea smiles, the waves can really kick. When this happens, I put life on hold and move to what I refer to as the ‘head office’ for countless hours of riding. It always brings a huge smile to my face.
One day, the dolphins made a guest appearance. They were so close I thought we might surf the same wave. However, the family of five was more interested in fish than waves and I rode solo.
There is nothing like waking before sunrise to the sound of waves crashing on the beach and the prospect of more riding. In honour of the waves, I have posted a few surf shots. Click the link below for a gliimpse.
