Not really sure where to post this but sports seems somewhat appropriate although many purists think of it more as a lifestyle rather than an activity. But, that's a different discussion for another time.
Upon blabbing that I grew up in, on, around and under the waves someone said, "Can’t wait to hear the stories you have to tell!!!" So, with fair warning I'll gladly bore you to tears here.
I'll start with a short one and see how it goes.
(Every word is true. Only the names have possibly changed to protect the guilty . . . )
CLOSE ENCOUNTER AVOIDED
One fine autumn day I noticed one of my favorite yet fickle spots was going to be excellent around dawn the next day. The tide and swell were perfect and I had the chance to be on it all alone before the sun rose and the crowd descended.
So, it was time to wake up, throw on my wetsuit, grab my board and be out the door BUT I just couldn't get myself out of bed. Yes, I am a lazy so-and-so and the choice between those comfy warm blankets or icy cold waves was just too difficult. So, I overslept.
Later that day I heard on the radio that a huge great white was spotted cruising the area at dawn . . . just as I would have been getting my fill of waves for the morning. He would have definitely gotten his big teeth filled with my scrawny limbs no doubt.
The moral of this sad tale? Laziness will save your life, boys and girls.
