SURFERMAG.COM FEATURES
Take into account that at a moment's notice Surfer B turns his life, and the lives of those around him, upside-down. Schedules are tweaked. Appointments put off. Relationships burdened. All in the pursuit of being "on it" when the swell hits.
His trip is absolutely difficult. Not so much logistically, but more so socio-politically. But difficult nonetheless, and therefore hard-core.
An 18-year-old surfer planning a surf trip to remote Argentinian islands deals with a completely different set of difficulties than a 35-year-old who can drop everything for 3 days at Isla Natividad. Both trips hard-core, yet both based on a separate set of difficulties.
The new hard-core surf travel ethic, the hit and split surgical strike, is here to stay. And many of the surfers adhering to this ethic are the same guys who sat on beaches for days on end back in the 70s.
