E had in quite a few years in cold water swim and wait for the wave that finally lifts me up again. This was the result of a large wave that crashed over me and me duly brought out of balance. Now it seems the slowdown to be finally over and I can surf again. How long I do not know.

They have also survived raging waves and lulls been through, look tidier and more powerful as ever. They ride just still in the middle of the waves.
