| From shorelines paved with sands so white,
|
| they watch and wait for the perfect one.
|
| It's not worth the effort if it isn't just right,
|
| and there's more to it than just having fun.
|
| It's the thrill of the chase, the high of the ride,
|
| sharing the waters with creatures to fear.
|
| Out in the open with no where to hide,
|
| and the closest oasis far from near.
|
| Yet still they paddle their boards out to sea,
|
| and wait for the curl while holding their breath.
|
| When the moment approaches, they ride, flying free,
|
| each crest of the breaker a challenge of death.
