Proposal for long piece

I have been learning to surf in the past couple years. My travels have taken from San Diego, to Hawaii, to Costa Rica (twice), and to Australia. I would like to write a travel piece. Less about what I found at each place, which was various oceans and more various people, but more about the search. The search for waves is a quest that more than one person has undertaken. I would like to view my own search through the lens of the period of my life in which it has occurred. This is namely a period of failed relationships, lowering academic expectations and a growing obsession with the film Point Break. Point Break may serve as a mirror for my own travels (meant somewhat ironically, but only somewhat). I would hope to create a rich landscape of beaches as well as a rich landscape of emotional change. Here is a link to the Amazon site for Point Break it should give you some insight as to the tone of this piece. Another link you might be interested in is the hotel where I have stayed twice in Costa Rica. The third link that relates to my piece is just a video of some surfers being interviewed about their favorite Point Break quotations.
