We were surfing really early in the morning yesterday. As you can see, it’s pretty magical. It’s still dark and there have been a lot of shark sightings recently. So every movement in the ocean draws attention. 
I was waiting for a wave and something came up from below and banged my board. I had no idea what it was but thought it could be a shark, monk seal, or turtle. Thank goodness it was just a turtle that was probably daydreaming. Turtles are usually smarter than that so I was surprised he hit my board. 
And I’m sure he was surprised too. And probably mad. Haha. I thought he was going to bite my foot after that.
Then he popped his head up right in front of me, looked me in the eye, took a deep breath, and went back to his paradise. Such a cool encounter.
Hey Mr. Turtle, you freaking scared me a little!!!
