F'in great film.

More proof right there that man came from the ocean and will always return to the ocean in one way or another.

not so graceful on land but in the water he's a different creature altogether.

That hits your right in the "SOUL"  thanks for that...

Met a family in Fiji few years ago...the father was paralyzed from the waist down, the son said he won't stop doing what he loves to do...which was yaking...we went out and scooted around and waves were getting pretty large, he gets dumped off and I jump in thinking to lend a hand...and he waves me off saying "BTDT" and I'm sort of embarrassed because I tried to help...but he did it all pulled himself right back on and continued to have fun...So If ever I find myself in same shoes...GAME ON!!!

For those that say you can't he Say's "F'you" LOL...
It's all about Today!!! Because who knows what tomorrow will bring... so Better get OTW n GetSome
