THIS ISN'T HARD, THAT'S HARD!
ONE PERSON'S WORK is another person's pleasure. To us, it's nothing to ride up a hill for 20 minutes, or much more. We love it, the climbing up, being in the power zone...
... almost as much as ripping and carving down.
Here's the weird thing.
And it came up in a conversation with a committed, hard core surfer.
For reference, most of surfing is paddling as hard as you can to get through the breakers for up to 20 minutes, then floating between sets, then jockeying for position with other surfers, then paddling as hard as you can to catch a wave, at which point you battle back out through the breakers...
... all kinds of work for very brief payoffs.
2 hours in the water,
gives no more than 2-4 minutes actually riding the waves.
So why is it that nearly every surfer I know, these very talented athletes who are used to fighting nature and man, wants an e-bike?
Because...
... it looks like work.
