Six-Word Ocean Project
This page asks for your participation! Based upon a project founded by SMITH Magazine who asked for six-word memoirs, we are asking for a six-word description of your love of the ocean, surfing and the beach.
Why do you surf? What do you admire or respect about the beach? What smells, sounds and sights stir your love of the ocean?
If you had to summarize the ocean in six words how would you do it?
Please add your six-word story about the ocean as a comment.
Thanks for getting involved!

I have not fully formed a plan yet. If a comment fits the format I have published it. I think that if it continues to take off and people express themselves about the ocean, I would like to make a compilation. I am playing it by ear. Let me know your thoughts? You have put some really inspring thoughts up…
Let’s make life a beach today!
