This is where Point Break filmed Bodhi's final wave.
It's one of my favorite movies, and it shaped who I am more than I realized.
Choosing what's true over what's safe has stayed with me, and being here puts that in perspective.
That line is the one I keep coming back to.
Not in some big dramatic way. In small ones.
Taking the harder path on a client call instead of the smoother one. Saying the thing in the room instead of the comfortable version of it. Building a company the way I think it should be built instead of the way the playbook says.
Bodhi paid for that choice. Most of us pay smaller versions of it every week.
But the cost of always choosing safe is bigger than the cost of choosing true. It's just paid quietly, over a longer timeline, where nobody films it.
Standing at Bells Beach made that obvious in a way the movie never could.
