Sploot surfer archetype

The Wanderer

Passport by the door. Boardbag next to the passport.

Every trip is secretly a surf trip and every surf trip is a whole life. You've argued with an airline about a boardbag in three languages. You know the tide chart in a country you can't spell.

Spirit wave

A new spot every full moon.

Boards

Soundtrack

Wheels on airport tile.

Pairs well with

The Charger
Bigger is better. Consequences are for other people.
The Philosopher
You sit outside for a set before paddling.
