This was a new day. There were other days before this day but not exactly like this day. I had built up my skills over 5 years and now, at 15, there was the anticipation of something new. I was going out in perfect conditions to *create* something I had never done before; to concur the waves that I knew so well; to do something new that only existed in my mind. Someone else may have done something similar to what I was going to do, but I had not.

I paddled in from the peak and dropped in to a glassy wave going left. I pulled up into the middle of the face and ducked down as the wave curled over my head for several seconds. I heard the sound of the wave change signifying I was encircled in a tube of water. The wave at my heels collapsed and a rush of wind and water spit me out onto an open face. Part of the wave in front of me already broke, but instead of kicking out as I usually did, I went up over the top of the white water and dropped a good 6 feet down into the white water and managed to stay on my board. I skirted under the white water to get back onto a clear face and continued my ride.

I had that wave wired. There are tons of new things under the sun for me every day.

No racism, no sexism, equal opportunity for all, at least under the law. Many countries are close to this now.
I think this is new.
