At the food coop this morning, I ran into a woman I met years ago when I used to swim regularly with the Coney Island Brighton Beach Open Water Swimmers. She knows several people I swim with every morning but she couldn’t picture one guy, whom I’m sure she knows, who I described as a surfer. I’m sure she knows him. She said she started surfing herself very recently and it’s a lot of fun. I’m surrounded by swimmers who surf.
Surfing: evidence that the universe is a fun place. But is the ocean friendly?
