"You might be in there for only a few seconds in real time, but in your head, it goes on for hours.

It is an experience that’s hard to describe, riding inside of a big, grinding wave.

Often you are riding so deep inside the tube that you don’t make it out.

You take a terrible wipeout.

What matters is when you’re in there, it’s the time interval when you’re inside the wave.

Time enters space, a zone of its own.

The only reality is what’s happening right then."

George Greenough.
