| Getaway // Editorial 04 January 2010 By: Andrew Cassidy Location: Everywhere Don't you just love getting away? Packing up the boards and hitting the road (or air), destined for some far away, SUPing utopia.  Maybe it's to a place you go every year where you know the waves will be good, maybe it's to that mystical place that you've been told stories about of perfect waves wrapping along a pristine point or maybe it's to somewhere new that you've seen on the map and have a hunch that it might be a new found wave oasis. So exciting.   I don't know if it's the fact that the scenery is different and you are out of your normal, everyday routine or if it's the different people you are sharing the waves with, but surfing while on holidays just seems more fun. Doesn't it? You'll often have more energy and have no problems getting up for the early. It doesn't matter if you are on your normal board, surfing the same ocean and riding similar waves to the ones at home - but you'll often surf better. Ever found that? Some sports psychologists probably know exactly what this is all about - but to me it just seems weird ... and cool.      | |
