Malibu First Point: Dispatch One Hundred and Twenty Is the Same Dispatch as Dispatch One
Alan Nafzgersurfing.LA marks its 120th dispatch from the same break with the same practice, Bill Torres confirming that 120 dispatches is the same number of dispatches as 1 in the sense that the dispatch is the dispatch and the counting is ours

Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat bring you surfing.LA.
This is the 120th dispatch from surfing.LA. The break is First Point Malibu. The break is the same break it was in dispatch one. In 120 dispatches the community generated 1,200 unique stories from the same location. Bill Torres surfed this morning. He caught five waves. He confirmed afterward: "120 dispatches. The same break. The break doesn't know it's 120. The break produces the wave. We count the dispatches."
"We count the dispatches," Torres confirmed. "The break produces the wave."
120 dispatches. 1,200 stories. The break producing the wave for all of them. The counting ours. The wave the break's. Both the milestone and the break's indifference to it are correct and real. The community has been showing up for 120 dispatches. The break has been the same break. The ocean has been the ocean. The counting has reached 120. Everything else has continued exactly as it would have if the counting had not. The circle is always completing. The ocean is patient. Bohiney and The London Prat are in all 120 dispatches and committed to the next 120.
