The Autistic Surfer
- rv77ax 17y ago> If Clay isn’t surfing (...) then he’s probably watching > slow-motion videos of himself, which he’s been known to > study for ten hours straight. since i saw the first autism movie (monk ?), i had a thought that autistic people seem to be a perfectionist (a road to a professionalism) i never saw or meet autistic people in a real life. so, the article seems convince me.
- bmunro 17y agoI thought this was going to be an article about how people with autism browse the web.
- bporterfield 17y agoClay's surfing is simply incredible. For a more visual example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvZbUuwM4_w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvZbUuwM4_w
- yan 17y agoUnrelated to the article, but if anyone likes snowboarding, skating, or just being in the water, I highly recommend taking a surfing lesson. Figuring out the mechanics and actually catching a wave are exhilarating! I'm tempted to somehow relate it to hacking, but I won't even go there.
- Dylanfm 17y agoIt's awesome to spend time out in the water almost everyday completely disconnected. I love surfing.
- TriinT 17y agoWe should organize HN surfing trips :-) That way, when we were not in the water, we could about interesting tech stuff...
- yan 17y agoI tend to have outdoor hobbies, and I'd just love to organize HN hiking, camping, climbing, surfing, etc trips. Geeking out while being outdoors and far from technology sounds like a beautiful way to spend time.
- Dylanfm 17y agoThat'd be great. I'm in Australia (near Sydney). Keen to hear from anyone interested in doing something like this.
