Spot Appreciation Day





A few years back I had a Christmas party and I made these logos for everyone to have stickers of their favorite spot. If you surf in Leucadia you know what these mean and where they are. If you don't... I'm not telling! The party was fun as everyone picked out their favorite spot and wore it proudly.

Your spot is an interesting thing. You hold it close to you and very rarely share its secrets with others that don't surf there. It's an interesting relationship we have with it. When it is going off we are deeply in love and when it is blown out and flat we get upset like it has done something to wrong us. All and all we go out day after day and share the magic of what we have found to be an important part of our lives, surfing. 

So, if  you have a spot that you call your own, show it some love and say a few thank you's while you are enjoying its surf, good or bad.  Unlike most things in life it is always there for you when you need it most. Showing it some gratitude goes a long way.
