Water Love. 

BY Matt Knight. 

Surftwisted

Surfers know they love the water, but do they know why? There are moments for all of us when conditions are just so perfect that we are filled with emotion. Stirred by the beauty in glassy walls of fluid energy, we are drawn to join with the waves and caress their soft curves.

Sometimes the sight of perfect waves provokes a nervous response to the point that we can hardly get into the water quickly enough; and the scramble for kit…boards, cameras, wetsuits, becomes a frenzy of trembling anticipation. But why are we moved in that way?    

It doesn’t happen often enough of course: windswept spring days on the open beaches with 2ft dross dribbling onto the sand is hardly what we dream of when trying to remember what it is that makes us struggle into a clammy wetsuit in the morning.

But Rob Puig has been using this flat spell to study water a little more closely. Maybe he understands.

We are 65% water. We came from the water some time in our evolutionary history. After a few hours without it we go mad. Wars have been, and will be fought over it.

And sometimes its just, plain, beautiful.
