Falling into the Wave

 It was back to the beach for Happy Hour yesterday. The surf was high and that meant that the surfers were out in force. At one point we noted about three dozen men, women, girls, and boys out on their boards trying not to kill each other while catching a wave.

I love watching them. It provides some great entertainment. I am also amazed at how young some of them are. One girl, who was very good, could not have been more than 8 years old.

It was a very enjoyable evening and we stayed until just past sunset.

I am amazed at how they seem to avoid colliding with each other. 

The water was warm, but rough. I walked out about waist deep to take some images. The breeze off the water was also warm, which kept the beach at a comfortable temperature as the sun began to sink behind the dunes.

I wish that I had learned to surf. 

But, it was a great evening to be out on the beach. This time of year is the best in South Florida. The water is still warm and the humidity is falling to a comfortable level.
