This is possibly one of the most compelling picture stories we've seen on Imgur.
It's about a surfer who got tired of "lazing" around, and decided to do something about it. What followed was a journey that took him from surfing in Hawaii to fighting in Afghanistan, from post-war restlessness in Texas to the 9/11 memorial in New York.
We contacted him via Imgur-mail, and he was really excited about telling his story.
So here it is, written in his own words (lightly edited for clarity) ...
So here I am. Having the life. Iʻm originally from Hawaii.
