Leon didn’t get to surf nearly as often as he would have liked these days. It was amazing how easy it was to get caught up in the rest of life, but this morning was too good to resist. The early morning weather was almost perfect, if not a little cool, and it was still early enough that there were hardly any surfers out yet, despite the perfect waves.
Leon paddled out, waiting for the perfect wave, and then he felt it under him. He hopped up, riding the wave into a curl, revelling in it for just a moment until he caught sight of the other man barrelling toward him. Leon’s eyes widened, trying to steer away, but there was no escaping the curl, not really, and he bailed at the last minute, diving into the surf, the currents buffeting him this way and that, and he felt the sharp tug on his ankle when his board crashed into the other man’s.
He came up sputtering, grabbing onto his board as he did - half his board, at least - the other half had been carried away by the surf, and while looking for it his gaze landed on the other man. “Hey, watch where the fuck you’re going!” he snapped, even if there was a part of him that knew it hadn’t been the other man’s fault any more than it had been his own.
