Yes! I don’t surf, but I learned that hiking in the mountains, through a mossy forest with infinite dangerous next steps is even more grounding if you wear flip flops instead of vibrant-souled, tightly-laced hiking boots. Roots, rock ledge, wildlife…require all attention. High alert and a great core workout… it was impossible to be engaged in anything but the strategy of each next move. There was one resting place I had to capture.

Hiking in flip flops is a bit like surfing, I think, Srinivas?
