“Surfers are the ‘throw-aheads’ of mankind, not the dregs; they aren’t the black sheep of humanity, but the futurists and they are leading the way to where man ultimately wants to be.

It’s a non-productive, non-depletive act that’s done purely for the value of the dance itself. And that is the destiny of man.” MenWayWantDonePastFormValuesHumanityBlackBehindsDestinyMankindDisappearSandProductiveOur FutureSheepYour FutureBehind YouTubesFootprintExplodingSurferEpitomeBe Here NowDregsFuturistBlack SheepLeading The Way Author:Timothy Leary
