Excerpt
I had talked to Drew on three previous occasions over the
summer, each time wanting nothing more than to be left alone. Our fourth
conversation took place the day I got arrested, and it changed everything.
It was the middle of July and Tropical Storm Andrea was bearing
down on the South Carolina coast. Most people were secure in their homes for
the day, avoiding the winds and flash flooding, heeding the warnings of local
officials.
But to me, those warnings were made to be ignored, especially
when the advisories called for waves that would be six to eight feet high.
Surfing is how I find peace. It’s the purest form of escape I've ever known. I had always felt like that, but after what happened to me a couple
of months ago, having an escape from everyday life was more critical to my
survival than ever.
I had fled from my life a few months ago, leaving Florida and
ending up in the Charleston, South Carolina, area. I had escaped in a literal,
physical sense, but I still craved the mental escape, and for me there was no
better way to do that than riding waves.
The tide was going out—a good thing in any tropical storm or
hurricane—and as I walked across the sand toward the water, the incoming waves
hurled themselves toward the beach, crashing violently and disintegrating,
followed shortly by another, another, another… The waves here on Isle of Palms
are sometimes pretty decent and surfing-worthy, but nothing like the ones
provided by Tropical Storm Andrea.
I walked into the ocean, feeling the undertow pulling at my
ankles, almost urging me to go farther out, an urging I didn't need because I
was about to get in some of the best surfing I’d had since arriving here.
Past the first few breakers, I placed my board down on the
water, flopped my belly down on it, and began paddling. First straight out,
then parallel to the beach, waiting for the wave that would take me back to
shore.
I chose my wave, paddling myself into position. My brain
switched into what I call Surfing Escape Mode:
I’m on the wave. It’s powerful. Rough. Almost violent. It pushes
me. Lifts me.
I’m free.
I have to work to remain free—flexing my leg muscles; using my
arms to balance my body; shifting my center mass to stay steady; all of this is
work, hard work, but the payoff is being free.
It’s usually over in a matter of seconds like that. But those
real-time seconds are long dream-like minutes, and that’s exactly what I
desire.
The freedom didn't last long that day, though, because as I
trudged through the knee-deep water where the ride ended, I looked up and saw a
cop. He stood facing me, a few dozen yards away up on the beach.
I don’t know how long he had been there. Probably just a few
minutes. But if he’d been yelling, I hadn't heard it, thanks to the noise of
the roiling Atlantic, and the wind. It was mid-afternoon, but the storm made it
seem like dusk. Using his flashlight, the cop motioned for me to get out of the
water and come toward him.
I had a choice to make:
either pick up my board and obey the officer, or ignore him and go back out for
one more wave.
