“I’m getting out! I’m freeeeezing!” I heard Phoebe yelling
out to me from the spot where the waves were breaking right on her. After 6 perfect rides into the shore (all
after my run-in with the old-timer and the bathing suit mishap), I was
exhausted, so I nodded to my fellow bodysurfers and began to head in.
“Nice
riding,” my competition said to me with a nod of his head.
“You
too.” I returned the compliment. We actually bonded when I found out that
bathing cap lady and the old timer were husband and wife, and she complimented
me on how gracefully I was able to take him out with my first ride in. She swam in after that to check on him, and I
just turned to my competition and shrugged my shoulders in an “I’m sorry” sort
of way...
