Was out with Brian the other day in some pretty good waves
when, in between sets, I saw a bee in the water obviously struggling. As I
paddled toward it a wave started taking shape, I had a choice, paddle over the
wave and help out the bee or turn and go. I turned and I went. The wave never
amounted to anything, just backed off and wouldn’t let me in, so I headed back
to where the bee was and gently scooped him up. He walked up my palm and onto
the top of my thumb where he sat for a while having a breather. He opened and
closed his wings and dried them out.
Beyond the bee another wave was coming and this one was no
way gonna back off. I looked at the bee and asked him ‘mate, you ready to go?’
No, really, I did. He turned into the wind, I raised my hand and off he went
leaving me just enough time to spin and take a late drop straight into a head
high backlit glassy right.
