One of the things Darius had never really been good at was surfing. He'd tried a couple times, but never really had the practice. Mostly he'd just listened to his uncle talk about the fun times he'd had while surfing, and stared at the flat ocean. They never seemed to go when there were any waves to speak of.
That was not the case on this particular day. The waves weren't large, which he was thankful for, but they were there. They'd rented two boards, and Darius was bouncing as he looked out at the water. "Okay. The most important thing is to keep calm. The second most important thing is to keepyour body loose. You'll fall off if you tense up."
He beamed at Ophelia, eager to play with her. This was probably the most fun he'd had in a loooong time.
