90 degree rule. Some people you just can't save from themselves ? Favorite narrative from a surf movie "In God's Hands", pretty much sums up life in general in explaining it ?

As I watched them train today... I was filled with a certain sadness. So many people aspire to greatness. So few succeed. I could see the separation happening before my eyes. - The big waves of Hawaii wouldn't be waiting for them. A challenge to one... a threat to the other.
