## Source excerpt

I've never been surfing. To me, surfing forces you to put a lot of trust in the ocean, and I do not trust the ocean at all. If I ever felt the need to go surfing, I probably wouldn't head out to Mavericks on Day One. Instead, I'd start in a lesson, doing that thing where you lie on your surfboard on the beach and pretend to surf until the instructor trusts you not to drown.
