I met up with my friend, Beau this morning. He sometimes likes to tag along with me to see while I do the update. Beau is young and educated, has a good job which he kind of dislikes most of the time and has dreams of moving on and doing other things in life, which I know he will because he is that type of guy.

If there is one thing I’ve noticed about Beau, he fits a lot in. He surfs, kite boards, wake boards, water skis, shoots photos and video and he is pretty damn good at all of the above. Beau lives in a man mansion with a bunch of other young professional guys who quite often get things a little sideways on the weekends and have a lot of fun. In other words, he lives life to the fullest and that’s the name of the game.

While we were standing on a dull, cloudy Bondi this morning, watching a bunch of beginners trying to catch and ride the choppy one foot dribble, Beau asked me how I stay motivated to get up and do this early in the morning? I pretty much told him that it’s not always easy and sometimes it feels like a huge effort but once in while there are those magic mornings that make it worth it. Motivation is a lot like looking through your lens, you just need to stay focused and things will be fine.
