Lost my “stoke”

I’m with you I miss the stoke as well. I’m 58 and grew up surfing on Maui but have been surfing the SF Bay Area for the past 20 years. I have every kind of board from 6’0” to 9’4”. Between the crowds and the cold sloppy conditions most days I’m just not as pumped as I used to be even just a few years ago. I try to accept it and role with it but I miss it. I used to happily surf any slop. Now I’d rather drink coffee and fart around on my phone. Maybe I’ve travelled too much and had too many great waves elsewhere, don’t know. It’s tough. Trying to play more tennis and do other things but it’s not quite the same. I don’t know if there is any solution other than grudging acceptance.
