It is an experience that’s hard to describe, riding inside of a big, grinding wave. ��Often you are riding so deep inside the tube that you don’t make it out. You take a terrible wipeout. What matters is when you’re in there, it’s the time interval when you’re inside the wave. Time enters space, a zone of its own. The only reality is what’s happening right then.’
George Greenough.
