Surfer's Code.

[arc-deus-est]

Shaun Tomson

I will never turn my back on the ocean: Passion

I will paddle around the impact zone: No short cuts

I will take the drop with commitment: Courage, focus and determination

I will never fight a rip tide: The danger of pride and egotism

I will always paddle back out: Perseverance in the face of challenges

I will watch out for other surfers after a big set: Responsibility

I will know that there will always be another wave: Optimism

I will ride and not paddle into shore: Self-esteem

I will pass on my stoke to a non-surfer: Sharing knowledge and giving back

I will catch a wave every day, even in my mind: Imagination

I will realize that all surfers are joined by one ocean: Empathy

I will honor the sport of kings: Honor and integrity
