I bobbed in the ocean, sitting on my board, breathing heavy from the paddle out past the break. I already felt like giving up, but my eyes were zeroed in on the horizon, squinting away the sunrise. My brain was on overdrive. This one? No, wait…maybe…no. This one? No, I can’t do this! This one? Yes, …wait…sh*t…yes. I quickly did my sitting turn I had learned and lay down on my board. I scoot into position with my toes on the back of the board, tense and ready.
