Legendary surfer Phil Edwards once proposed the idea there are two schools of thought in surfing that come to define style: "In the first, the wave is an incidental means of expressing one's ability to others; often a gym or track field would serve the same purpose. In the second, the wave is simply a beautiful expression of nature and respected as reason enough to participate. The 'stylist' merges with the wave, while the former merely 'uses' the wave." -slide magazine
