I can’t tell you what day this happened. It happened years ago when I was still going through some stuff. I didn’t think to write it down that day. But this moment has been burned into my memories forever.
I’m literally the writer and artist of a nature comic, so it goes without saying I love animals. But bonding with an animal while surfing was special. The dog saw me on my wave and came chasing for me. All I remember seeing was a happy collection of spots, eyes, and teeth running next to me and my board. It was just a moment before I crashed into the water myself. But wow, what a moment.
This is why I tell these stories These are the surf stories that matter the most. Big waves? Sounds fun. Competitions? Neat. Olympics? All righty. Party wave with a dog? Now that’s truly a miracle.
