The post’s title makes me sound way cooler than I am or ever will be. No, this is not going to be a post bemoaning when I had to move from California beaches and give up my burgeoning career as a teen pro surfer. I’ve never lived in California, never been on a surfboard, and never been called Gidget.
What I miss is surfing television channels. I dropped cable television in 2011. It was the right choice at the time and, for the most part, still is.
It’s sad though because I remember flipping through the channels back in my cable days or scanning the onscreen guide and laughing in delight when I spotted one of my surf-stopping movies.
We all have them. Something that when you come across it, you stop what you’re doing and watch the rest of the movie, no matter how much of the movie is left.
