1. The day during the hurricane swell when I rode my first waves over 5 feet (6'-7' ones) successfully

2. When there were beautiful, glassy 4' waves with warm water and I broke my board on the sand bar, and had to go bodysurfing

3. Another 4' glassy evening when there was nobody else out but two bodyboarders, and this gorgeous moon rose above the glittering cruise ship lights.
