Congrats the team at @stab for bringing people together at this years #stabcon2025 #stabcon . A refreshing space to carve and bank floaters of observation over some intentional water movement. When we open up a portal, we care to share what we care for and what is sacred of craft. With mutual values & consideration we upgrade our software even slightly, creating a moment culturally willed, not promised nor expected. Like a compression chamber of energy, in comes a remembering of gratitude, participation follows. Rises are the faces of tomorrow’s leaders and inspiration ripping together, catered by a rack of choices to slice as you wish. One thing is certain, regardless of the lines you take, they are yours to keep. Don’t strain your eyes too hard, it’s just surfing. A few days, a few boards, and a few hours of surfing later, only smiles remain.

Thanks to Mark Mathews and Gerr for sharing some inspiring wisdom and perspective.
The great Michael Ho once said to me “surfing brings us back to center.” That stuck and made so much sense in its simplicity. Center is balanced and balanced is harmony. If and when surfing haunts your life, you are happily spooked to embrace its torment. Happy surfing day.
