Chapter 110 Surfing
I've been lazy all day, and my bones are almost crisp.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Rui finished her massage and was dozing off, drinking iced Americano to refresh herself.

Just in the lobby of the hotel, I met Miss Thalia who was taking over the job of snorkeling instructor.

She walked out with a surfboard in her arms, and when she saw Su Rui, she stopped and said hello warmly:

"Hey, boss, I heard that you hunted two deer. At noon, my mother made me a venison burger. It tastes very good."

Found that Thalia had already tasted it.

Su Rui wondered if he had been pampered for a long time and lived a little too delicately, so he actually had to send the venison to be tested first.

He hunted two deer in the morning, and he only wanted one of them.

The rest was distributed to the employees. Aunt Karna was very popular and received more than a catty of the most tender tenderloin.

Su Rui smiled and said to the girl:

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

"...Actually, I went surfing by myself. The wind is a bit strong today, and the waves are pretty good, but the water at the bottom of the sea is quite muddy, so the appointment has been changed to tomorrow. My friend invited me to go to the beach to play."

Thalia looked embarrassed.

It just so happened that Manager Kona was out. She was fishing during working hours, but was caught by her boss.

Su Rui didn't think there was any problem. Since he didn't need to take tourists to go snorkeling, he was still idle, so he said with interest:

"I've always wanted to learn to surf, and when I have time to teach me, this sport should be very exciting."

Raising her arm and looking at her watch, Thalia blinked:
"I have time now, what about you, boss? The waves on Lanai are not big, suitable for a novice like you, you just need to learn how to keep your balance, and the waves will do the rest, and it will wash you to the shore. "

Su Rui is addicted to vegetables, so he agreed immediately.

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

He first went upstairs to his room to change clothes, and picked out a Rolex diving watch, the Submariner series with a green circle and black dial, and the starting price was only more than 8000 US dollars.

Wearing swimming trunks and a floral shirt, come to the hall to meet Thalia.

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

But 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 on the surfboard with bare feet, half squatted as a demonstration, swayed left and right, and said:
"Usually when other tourists want to learn to surf, we will bring them here first. Although it is not exactly the feeling of surfing, basically it is not much different. As long as you can keep your balance on it, you will learn faster in the sea. Avoid being swept away by the waves again and again."

Su Rui was thoughtful, put his hands in his pants pockets, and asked her, "How long will it take to learn, is surfing dangerous?"

"Let's practice for half an hour first, and then try it in the sea. A rope will be tied to your ankle and connected to the surfboard. At that time, the surfboard will always float on the sea surface and act as a lifebuoy."

Talia is a resident of Lanai Island, and she has adapted quite well after returning to work. At this moment, she jumped from the surfboard to the ground, helped Su Rui to stand on it, and continued:
"As long as you don't surf in hurricane weather, it's rare to hear of anyone having an accident, at least not on Lanai."

Su Rui was quite speechless, having the illusion that he was talking to the cook about the difficulty of cooking, and said:
"Of course, there were few tourists here before, and you often practiced, especially the aborigines in Hawaii, who basically grew up soaking in the sea, and most of them have good water skills."

After listening to it, I found it makes sense.

Thalia comforted and said:

"Don't worry, I will follow you. Compared with the risk of drowning, it is better to worry about encountering sharks. They sometimes use surfboards as monk seals floating on the sea, and occasionally cause tourists to die."

"...I suddenly remembered something, or I'll make an appointment next time."

just kidding.

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

of course.

In order to be more on the safe side, Su Rui still greeted Talia and asked her to find two more water-based lifeguards, mainly because she was not at ease with her new inexperienced coach.

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

Practicing on a surfboard in the coconut grove, during which I fell several times.

The height from the ground is only [-] to [-] centimeters, and the ground is still a soft sandy beach. As long as you don't touch the ground with your face, it will be fine.

Su Rui felt a little bit better when the two hotel coaches came.

From the appearance, they are all native Hawaiians, in their 30s, with a strong body and slightly darker skin.

Compared with Thalia, they seemed safer, which reassured Suri a lot.

Continue to learn the essentials of surfing, and take Surui's open-top Phantom at four o'clock to the beach on the north shore of Lanai Island.

Talia rides in a car with one instructor, while the other walks across the sea in a motorboat.

Including Thalia, the three coaches are all residents of Lanai Town. They grew up by the sea, so they take it for granted that today's waves are pretty good.

But wait until the beach.

Su Rui saw the three or four meters high waves rolling towards the beach one after another in the distance, it was really frightening, and his eyes turned black.

It's kind of like driving a bus on the road before you get your driver's license.

It is a completely different experience from going hunting in the morning.

As a hunter this morning, you just need to find the right prey.

But in front of the ruthless ocean, Su Rui felt that he was the prey. Usually standing on the beach, the waves were gentle and tender, but now he seemed to hide murderous intentions.

Come here.

The sparring lineup is so luxurious, if you retreat from the battle, you will be ridiculed.

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

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

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

Due to the strong wind and waves, paddling in the sea is much more tiring than swimming in the pool. No wonder the coaches are in better shape than the other. They also like to row boats occasionally and go shopping in Maui.

I paddled forward with great effort, but was constantly washed towards the shore by the waves, and it was only slightly better after swimming 30 meters.

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

"...I suddenly came up with a good idea. Do you think that some unlucky guy saw a great white shark in the waves while surfing. Does this picture have any impact?"

Suri asked.

When I was not in the sea, the adrenaline was rushing, but when I was in the sea, I felt much better.

Friends who could see Talia nearby were waving hello in front of her.

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

Another Aboriginal coach laughed:

"Good idea, boss, you invest in making such a movie. I will definitely watch it. Spielberg's "Jaws" has been released for so many years, and it is still a classic..."
