Away From It All
Stacey lay on her long board as she swam out from the shore. When she was far enough out, she sat on her board and waited for a decent wave to come.
Other surfers were mystified why she used a long board, the truth was she enjoyed the stability it offered while she sat and waited. Out here she was alone, she could breathe and think and ponder, and wonder at the vastness of the ocean that lay around her. Then a wave would finally come and she would surf back to the shore, and start all over again.

Ah, I think that’s one of the best descriptions of surfing I’ve read. I can see its allure. Glad that you used long board that way, too!

I’m not a surfer, but I do enjoy that feeling of vastness that comes with the sea. Thus & therefore… I like this post 🙂
