How many times have I driven to the beach looked at the surf and concluded that it was "blown out", so I drove home instead of paddling out?  

As Mickey Muñoz famously said, “There are no bad waves, only a poor choice of equipment and a lousy attitude.”

Andy Nieblas is a walking reminder of Mickey's wise words.  He has a knack for making even the most average of conditions look like somewhere you'd want to be.

Here's Andy making the most of a windy afternoon on his 9'8 Walks on Water model.
