An attempt to capture the experience of surfing in verse...
Contemplative gaze brushes distant surf's foamy tips,
inklings of coming joy curl dark corners of licked lips.
Eyes exhilarate as soft velcro chafes eager ankles.
Plump toes burrow under torrid grains of shifting sand,
tightening fingers clench smooth, rounded edges,
extract this finned plank from its place of rest.

Reassuring chill of briny water splashes churning shins,
incoming waves slap high fives against tanned hips.
Leaning forward, my chest kerplunks into cool pleasure.
Tunneling hands spray liquid spindrift over swiveling forehead.

Rising to conquer undulating swells of the cerulean deep,
quivering knees steady swaying arms, shift forward.
I laugh as I hurtle onward, soaked hair flogging bare shoulders,
carving signatures of frothing victory into each rolling rampart.
