How’s the day been?
Really weird vibes. First
this 50-year-old woman
who was taking a surf
class broke her leg on her
board. Then this lady
came running down the
beach asking if any one
had seen her daughter.
And then after that
I heard this other mom
on the boardwalk
screaming for help—her
daughter was choking.
I ran over there with
a few of the Locals guys,
Danny, Jose, and
Eric. After a few rounds
of CPR, she started
breathing again.
Is this normal? Nah,
the energy is clearly off
today. It wasn’t all bad:
This kid Baki caught a
really nice wave. But that
other stuff—I was shook.

We set up outside Locals
Surf School on Beach 69th
Street to talk to the surfers,
many of whom are there
every morning, year-round.
