“It was, once again, a glorious wave, with hues in its depths so intense they felt like first editions—ocean colors never seen before, made solely for this wave, this moment, perhaps never to be seen again.”
William Finnegan, Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“in despair there are the most intense enjoyments, especially when one is very acutely conscious of the hopelessness of one's position.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from the Underground

“The particulars of new places grabbed me and held me, the sweep of new coasts, cold, lovely, dawns. The world was incomprehensibly large, and there was still so much to see. Yes, I got sick sometimes of being an expatriate, always ignorant, on the outside of things, but I didn't feel ready for domestic life, for seeing the same people, the same places, thinking more or less the same thoughts, each day. I liked surrendering to the onrush, the uncertainty, the serendipity of the road.”
William Finnegan, Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life

Jay Kristoff
“The brighter the light, the deeper the shadow.”
Jay Kristoff, Nevernight

“I did not consider, even passingly, that I had a choice when it came to surfing. My enchantment would take me where it would.”
William Finnegan, Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life
