His wide strokes make marks on the ground.⁣ Surfing is also about knowing your surroundings. Sitting in a circle, young surfers learn about the ocean during a lesson on the beach.⁣ Behind them, fishermen try to get their boats back on dry land. The fishermen and the surfers share the beach in harmony -- lined up in single file, they pull a fishing net together -- and some of the fishermen are also surfers themselves.⁣ After the introduction on dry land, it's time for action. Boards under their arms, two surfers step into the water, ready to do battle with the waves.⁣ Samuel is already at work, successfully completing his turn.⁣ Offshore, another youngster, stretched out on his board, paddles quietly alongside a canoe.⁣ ⁣ 📷 @johngingerwessels #AFP」10月28日 2時01分
