Contemplating surfing

That’s when two surfers appeared. The man confidently entered the sea over the rocks, despite the waves crashing forcefully around him—a move I’ve seen plenty of surfers attempt at this beach before, but never quite when the surf was as high and wild as it was that day. The woman with him watched him carefully, hesitated, observed the waves a little longer, and then wisely chose the much safer option to paddle out from the sandy shore instead. I really can’t blame her for that choice!
