Major force reason

One powerfull reason.

Just saw the date of the last post, doesn’t say much about consistency on writing here. But as it is not a professional obligation there is no real need to post just because a deadline is around the corner. Actually it is a really fortunate circumstance that I just have to write when there is something to write about, like now: writing about why I’m writing what I’m writing.

So February was a total blank. To understand why some investigation was in order; as for within the reasons for such long silence there should be, amongst others, some of major force like: “(…) war, political unrest, strikes, acts of God, epidemics, natural and technical disaster, closure of ports and aircraft (…)”. My thorough despite brief research did not bring any results. Did I mention that I forgot to include one of the reasons a surfer can claim? The inevitable:

“- Surf was classic...”

The quote I mentioned refers to a contract for a holiday and there is no mention to “classic surf” as one of major force reasons for a cancellation. This despite the fact that the location for the holiday to which the contract's cancellation policy refers to is a stone throw away from a world class surf break. The obvious conclusion is that the resort has none or very few surfers working there, how would you run the place with your crew in the water?

The photo is from February 24th, Supertubos was as it is shown and this particular wave happens to be one of the many great sets that hit the sweet spot that afternoon.

On one hand several major force reasons I could use to justify an absent afternoon and on the other the inspiration to write a few words about it.
A week went by with these conditions consistent throughout, a silent week easy to explain.
