You know, since this interview is for Deadspin, I was expecting you to ask me if surfing was a sport or not.

Oh, right, yeah, maybe I should have … thought about that … in some way ...

I’ve never heard a non-corny explanation of what surfing is: a religion, an obsession, any of the things people say. But people who seriously surf are people who have let surfing mess up their lives—that’s undeniable. There’s a part in that San Francisco chapter—there’s a guy I quote, a surf evangelist, a sort of strong, silent, big-wave hero type called Peewee, who says that surfing is a really dangerous thing. That the biggest locals are the biggest derelicts. And that says it perfectly. If you get really into it, you’re liable to end up on the street.
