Blonde pigtails
Dripping down
The back
Of her wet suit

Stood watching
Waiting
For her chance

Then ran, slouched,
And slid her board
Along
The wet beach

Where from
A wave
Had just retreated

Jumped on
And skimmed
Out to the water

In a moment
Of grace
Gliding atop
The froth

Then slowed,
Stopped,
Waved her arms,
Wobbled,

And fell
Splash!
Belly-first
Into the water
