A movement is learned when the body has understood it, that is, when it has incorporated it into its ‘world’ …
This image or dream is not a cold, indifferent speculation about the mechanics of the maneuver … it must be felt intensely – as vividly and as anxiously as the jump itself will feel … Imaging must be performative – a performance in which one take’s one’s body along.
- Meleau Ponty, The Phenomenology of Perception, 1992, p. 232.

a way better surfer than many might guess.
Looks like the start of an El Quasimodo
Funny, I was just reading some phenomenology with surfing in mind recently myself. That whole idea that there is objective experience felt subjectively translated back in to the object sphere or so. Or something like that. Heh. Gorgeous thought. Great sensibility.
