TRUE WATERMEN ARE A RARE BREED

Some think true Watermen appear in glossy magazine ads, on gigantic billboards and edgy television spots. While this may be true for a select few, most "Watermen” do not clamor for the spotlight. They seek what they know, the Ocean. Elite Watermen are not interested in proving themselves to the world; they are humble and let their actions speak for themselves. The sea calls to everyone, but Watermen speak the language of the sea. Surfing, free diving, paddling, kayaking, ocean swimming or lifeguarding alone does not make a person a Waterman. It's the accumulation and the near mastery of all or at least multiple water endeavors that may put you in lineup to be considered a waterperson. Watermen are of the sea; they feel strange on land, wish mermaids were real, and don’t tell fish stories, but live them.
