Surffragettes
I googled the title of this image and was satisfied to learn there is no existing English word to match its meaning. I needed a new one anyway, to bear the significance of this symbolic scene on a moody spring day.
My ‘surffragettes’ are heading home as the fun is pretty much over for the day, regardless of what your intentions may be, wetsuit or not, an outcome determined by the stormy and fast approaching South Island clouds. Not something to loose any sleep over these days, there will always be tomorrow.
And this beautiful sight is about that long journey from social irrelevance to the exercise in unrestricted freedom, which is what a morning on the waves is, a path much lengthier than a daily trip from a holiday house to the froth laden pacific beach.
A long voyage indeed. Take a moment to remember the ones who are still trying to make it.
