Start by trimming cow hooves

I've been lazy all day, and my bones are almost crispy.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Suri finished her massage and was dozing off, drinking iced Americano to refresh herself.

I happened to meet Miss Talia who had taken over the job of snorkeling instructor in the hotel lobby.

She walked out holding a surfboard. When she saw Suri, she stopped and said hello warmly:

"Hi, boss, I heard that you hunted two deer. My mother made me venison burgers at noon. It tasted great."

Found out Thalia had already tasted it.

Suri wondered if she had been pampered for a long time and lived a too refined life, and she actually had to send the venison for testing first.

Two deer were hunted in the morning, and he only wanted one of them.

The rest was divided among the employees. Aunt Karna was very popular and received more than a pound of the most tender tenderloin.

Suri smiled and said to the girl:

"I haven't tasted it yet. I'm going to make hot pot tonight. If you have time, come and try it. What are you going to do now, teach hotel guests to surf?"

"...Actually, I went surfing by myself. The wind was a bit strong today and the waves were pretty good, but the water at the bottom of the sea was rather turbid, so the appointment was rescheduled to tomorrow. My friend invited me to go to the beach."

Thalia looked embarrassed.

It happened that Manager Kona was out, so she was fishing during work hours and was caught by her boss.

Suri didn't think there was any problem. Since he didn't have to take tourists to snorkel, he had nothing to do. He said with interest:

"I have always wanted to learn to surf. I hope you can teach me some time when you have time. This sport should be very exciting."

Raising her arm and looking at her watch, Thalia blinked:

"I have time now, boss, what about you? The waves on Lanai are not big, which is suitable for novices like you. You only need to learn how to maintain balance, and the waves will do the rest. It will wash you to the shore. "

The Surui people are addicted to food and immediately agreed.

After lunch at noon, Hoshino Yuko was called away by the MV director to rehearse with others, and she hasn't come back yet.

He went upstairs to his room to change clothes, and then picked out a Rolex diving watch, a Submariner series with a green circle and black dial, and the purchase price was only over 8,000 US dollars.

Wearing swimming trunks and a floral shirt, she came to the lobby to meet Thalia.

I thought I would go directly to the sea and teach on the spot.

However, Thalia took Suri to the coconut grove first, and saw a surfboard tied like a hammock between two coconut trees.

Thalia took off her slippers, stood barefoot on the surfboard, squatted down to demonstrate, swayed left and right, and said:

"Normally when other tourists want to learn to surf, we will bring them here first. Although it is not exactly the same as surfing, it is basically not much different. As long as you can maintain your balance here, you will learn faster in the sea. Avoid being swept away by the waves again and again.”

Suri was thoughtful, put her hands in her pants pockets, and asked her, "How long does it take to learn? Is surfing dangerous?"

"Practice for half an hour first, and then go to the sea and try it. A rope will be tied to your ankle and connected to the surfboard. Then the surfboard will keep floating on the sea and serve as a lifebuoy."

Thalia is a resident of Lanai, and she has adapted quite well after returning to work. At this moment, she jumped from the surfboard to the ground, helped Suri to stand on it, and continued:

“As long as you don’t surf in hurricane weather, you rarely hear of anyone having an accident, at least not here on Lanai.”

Suri was quite speechless, and had the illusion that he was chatting with the cook about the difficulty of cooking, and said:

"Of course. There were few tourists here in the past, and you practiced often. Especially the native people of Hawaii. They basically grew up soaking in the sea, and most of them have good water properties."

After listening to it, I found it makes sense.

Thalia reassured her:

"Don't worry, I will follow you. Compared with the risk of drowning, it is better to worry about encountering sharks. They sometimes mistake surfboards for monk seals floating on the sea, which occasionally cause tourists to be killed."

"...Suddenly I remembered something, maybe we can make an appointment next time."

just kidding.

The dangerous sea is not easy to conquer. Compared with being chased and bitten by sharks while surfing, the probability of encountering a car accident when going out is much higher.

certainly.

In order to be more secure, Suri still said hello to Talia and asked her to find two more lifeguards who were proficient in water skills, mainly because she was not confident about her new and inexperienced coach.

Talia also thought this was the best, so she called her colleagues and asked them to prepare a suitable surfboard and swimming goggles.

I practiced on my surfboard in the coconut grove and fell off several times.

It's only 70 to 80 centimeters above the ground, and the ground is still soft sand. As long as you don't touch your face, you'll be fine.

Suri felt a little better when two hotel coaches arrived.

Judging from their appearance, they are all native Hawaiians, in their thirties, with strong and muscular bodies and slightly darker complexions.

Compared with Thalia, they seemed safer, which made Suri feel more at ease.

Continue to learn some essentials of surfing, and take Suri's open-top Phantom at around 4 o'clock to the beach on the north shore of Lanai.

Thalia and one instructor rode in a car, while another drove a motorboat across the water.

Including Talia, the three coaches are residents of Lanai Town. They grew up on the beach and naturally thought that the waves today were pretty good.

But when we got to the beach.

Suri saw the three to four meter high waves in the distance, rolling towards the beach one after another. It was really frightening, and the eyes were dark.

It seems that I have to drive a bus on the road before I get my driver's license.

It's a completely different experience than going out hunting in the morning.

As a hunter this morning, it's just a matter of finding the right prey.

But in front of the ruthless ocean, Suri felt that she was the prey. She usually stood on the beach, the waves gentle and tender, but now she seemed to be hiding murderous intent.

Come all come.

The sparring team is so luxurious, if you shrink from the battle, you will be ridiculed.

Bite the bullet, finish warming up, put on a life jacket, and find the right time to go into the sea.

When his feet stepped into the water, his heartbeat had already begun to soar. Suri followed Talia and the others, lying on the waxed surfboard, paddling forward through the waves.

He heard the sound of a motorboat, which reassured him.

Because the wind and waves were a bit strong, paddling forward in the sea was much more tiring than paddling in the swimming pool. No wonder the coaches were in better shape than the other. They occasionally liked rowing and went shopping in Maui.

I tried my best to paddle forward, but the waves kept pushing me towards the shore. It was only after I swam twenty or thirty meters that I felt better.

Thalia smiled and told: "Boss, there are some monk seals on your left. At first glance, I thought they were sharks."

"...I suddenly thought of a great idea. Do you think the image of an unlucky guy seeing a great white shark in the waves while surfing is impactful?"

Suri asked.

The adrenaline rush was high when I wasn't in the sea, but when I actually got to the sea, I felt much better.

Thalia's friends could be seen nearby, waving hello from the front.

At this moment, he finally understood how terrifying the extreme surfing challenge called "Water Creature" in the "Bad Thief" movie was.

Another Aboriginal coach laughed:

"What a great idea. Boss, if you invest in making a movie like this, I will definitely watch it. "Jaws" directed by Spielberg has been released for so many years and it is still a classic..."
