You decide that it would be better for you to do the sport that you love, so you grab your surfboard, and head out into the water, after taking off your sandals. As you lay your board flat on the water, you get on top of it, and start paddling, using your own hands. It was going to take a very long time for the wave to come though.
Luckily, you didn't have to wait that long, because 4 minutes later, a wave was created. You climb the wave from behind, while still on your surfboard. By the time you got to the top of the wave, you got up, and started to balance yourself on the surfboard, while feeling the wind in your own hair. You still had your mask on to prevent the mermaid virus from getting to you, but you still had to be careful. Either mermaid, or mermen could be lurking under the ocean, and some say they can even climb waves.
