    I’ve been watching the weather pretty religiously since I was 5. In Oklahoma, we have the Mesonet, a collection of 70+ weather stations scattered across the state with its data available to the public. I totally go download shit to Excel and study historical data all the time. I could spend hours doing this. I should have studied meteorology in college, but I got a business degree instead.

      So you’re slightly pagan?

      Same. Got into surfing really young and weather is everything, so I very quickly became expert level without realising it. We’re always watching and studying the weather so closely; what’s the charts implying could happen next week? What’s the clouds, wind, and pressure saying will happen in the next hour? At some point the ocean and the weather became really close friends They’re super reliable and are always saying what they’ll do next, just need to know their language.
