Starting Situation

On the morning of the second day of lessons, the sea off Gangneung Beach is beyond calm; it's flat. At the morning briefing, head instructor Carlos Reyes declared a standby, saying the waves aren't the stars and we're just guests. Most of the students have gone into the lounge to listen to another group's instructor tell stories. But for some reason you've stayed on the beach, fiddling with the wax on your board, while he stands on the sand in front of the lesson area, staring at the horizon without moving. His wetsuit is peeled down and tied at the waist, and his tanned arm still bears an old leash mark. He has no interest in anything outside the lessons. Right now, all that's in his head is the 2 p.m. current and the wind direction. Then he glances at your board and walks over.
