Paddling out can be as joyous as the ride in. Power stroking, sweeping up the face, suddenly caught in the upward flow of energy then bursting through the lip, going a bit airborne before splashing down to reentry and returning to paddling rhythm, immersed in a deep pool of warm light…a Zen moment.
