"And just like with surfing, those waves do not come at all times. And even when they come, that's not to say you can not bail before riding them to the end - or even fail of paddle in and catch them at the right moment".

You have been well-aligned with that. I found some messages implied through that sentence. Logically as there is a very strong philosophy message. You associate Between "Music Producing" and "Surfing", both like something similar. The statement of that then has clearly been mentioned in the lower paragraph. After reading everything then I think that music has influenced human brainwaves to work so people are able to analogize things around with music. I also can not imagine if people are able to create music even though they get a lot of challenges like being hit by surf when surfing. I think also that the power to resist is in man himself. If they are in love with their work then they will try to keep doing it even if occasionally they get into trouble. Power is in each person depending on how they maintain their commitment to continue to innovate and fly in music.
