Do something that you would do even if you didn’t get paid, and everything else falls into place from there. Even if it’s not a huge financial success, you will still be happy. These things that I’m doing, I would do for free. – Tony Hawk, Pro Skateboarder and Entrepreneur

There were no immediate reports of major damage, but Radio New Zealand described the quake as “severe” and reported that power was out across the city. Some residents posted Twitter alerts reporting damage and large aftershocks.

The quake, which was recorded at 4:35 a.m. (1:35 p.m. Friday ET), registered 7.2 on the Richter scale, the U.S. Geological Survey said in Washington. The USGS predicted only light damage based on its Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale.

Christchurch is New Zealand’s second-largest city and the largest on the nation’s southern island, with a population of about 350,000.

Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom, and no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they’re meant to be.

So if you are planning to surf for the rest of your life, do it right from the beginning.  You need surf schools that are honest with their clients … honest about how difficult surfing is to learn, and how important it is to get it right, from the very start.

Learn to PADDLE! http://ijustsurf.com/the-blogs/mini-posts/learning-to-surf-learn-to-paddle/ http://ijustsurf.com/the-blogs/mini-posts/learning-to-surf-learn-to-paddle/#comments Sat, 10 Jul 2010 14:11:29 +0000 Staff Writers http://ijustsurf.com/?p=594 To surf you need to be able to paddle out and catch a wave. If your paddling is strong then you can get out around (or if necessary through) the white-water, you can catch waves and you can keep out of the way of the other surfers. Most importantly of all, you’ll feel more confident and a great deal safer. If you cant paddle you cant surf, it really is that simple.
