We were surfing, and maggie was letting wave after wave pass by. i rode plenty of waves, but maggie kept saying that she thought there would be a better wave coming along soon. an hour later, that better wave still hadn’t come, and we had to leave the beach. i hope next time that maggie will surf while we have the chance.
