oh, darling, stepping onto this red carpet feels as exhilarating as riding the waves during an early morning surf session. before i hit the waves, there's this pre-initiation ritual i have, almost like filling out a questionnaire in my head, ensuring every move is planned, yet spontaneous. and about those secret spots, those are kept under lock and key, confidential to the core, you know? we surfers sometimes have to redo a wave, close ears to the naysayers, focusing purely on the harmony of the ocean.
