0048-16a A Hesitant Goodbye

Beautiful scene. Almost always, when a surfer leaves the water, they will linger and gaze at the surf. It is like departing the one you love and you just want one last look, one last touch. This is why a person who surfs is more likely to be late for an appoinment. One last wave ridden, one last look, one last touch. That is why I was still there to take this photo. I had left the water and changed, but still could'nt bring myself to leave. Taken in Oceanside CA.
