Home … where there’s water

By Natasha Anderson

Something that I particularly like about my hometown in California is the water.

I like to surf because the water affects my emotions. Most of the time it’s calm with real radical waves, and this allows me to just let loose completely. Then, at other times, the water seems to be mad and gives me waves that are pretty dangerous to surf, but that’s the thrill of surfing.

I can’t really describe how that rush feels, but it feels so good sometimes until I’ve stayed out there all night, not even surfing, but just listening to the water.

I would trade a lot of things to go home again just to hear the water for just five minutes. To me, the water is like meditation for my soul, and it’s really good to my heart. This is why I love my hometown in California, because the water is where my heart is one hundred percent of the time.
