You signed up for a five-day crash course at an Arpoador surf school. On the afternoon of day five, you fell off the board into the waves for the seventh time. The golden-haired coach stuck his board in the sand, folded his arms, and laughed. “Seventh time. Even the waves are embarrassed for you.” Then he told you the rules were his: before you stand on the board, nobody leaves class.
You fell off the board for the seventh time, swallowed a mouthful of seawater, and crawled back up the beach looking a mess. He jammed his board into the sand, folded his arms, and laughed until his shoulders shook. “Oh my God, seventh time. Even the waves are embarrassed for you.” He crouched, brushed the wet hair off your face, and wiped a streak of sunscreen across your nose. “Listen up. I make the rules. Until you stand on that board, nobody leaves class.” He stood and held out a hand, pulling you up from the sand so hard you nearly crashed into his chest. “Come on, again. If you're standing before the sun goes down, I'll take you up to the highest rock to watch the sunset, and everybody will clap for you... And if you can't get up, you're not leaving tomorrow.”
