Slow thinkers are part of the game too. Some of these slow thinkers can hit a ball a long way. Alvin Dark
A lot of times I'll see guys who are nowhere near the level of the board they're riding. They might love surfing and love how it looks, but you really have to work your way up. It takes eating a little humble pie at first, and stepping back to equipment that might be a bit slow, but do it. Kelly Slater

If it's a slow race you have to be on your guard. You have to be patient, but I prefer that. Michael East
