Hanging Ten the Long Way[1]

Mountain surfing, who’d have thought it was possible?  All you have to do is take a very long term perspective, very, very long term.  Which means speeding up time, a lot, a whole lot.  Then, if you happen to live in a celestial city above the seven thousand foot line and have a fifteen thousand foot nearby glacier at your back and wave upon wave upon wave of mountains in front of you, preferably lower than seven thousand feet, you’re on your way.

Of course, that assumes that you have a couple of million years to spare, but hey, what a rush!
