When you hit a wave at the right time it's magic.

Instead of pushing a rock up a hill, you're skiing downhill.

It's hard to catch a wave, you have to be in the right place at the right time!

So you need to have lots of attempts at it.

And lots of durable tools built up that will help you catch some wave in the future, so the likelihood you have the right tool at the right time to catch any particular wave is higher.
