I laid down on my stomach and began paddling toward the wave. I craned my neck to look up at the top of the wave as I saw it curling down to hit the surface. I stood up and positioned myself as I rode parallel to the wave. The water was clear, almost transparent, and I ran my fingers through the water. I was half way through the monstrous wave; then it came. I crouched down and grabbed my leg screaming in agony. My board shook from under me making me lose my balance and fall to what seemed to be my death. I stole a quick glimpse at Nathan, catching his terrified expression, before the wave devoured me and threw me under and around like a game of football. The ocean showed no mercy as it tossed me like a salad and soon I was hurled to the bottom before I blacked out. *** Nalani Noe is your fearless island girl. Nathan Wright is your ordinary guy from Arizona. When Nathan works as a camp counselor in Hawai'i he meets new people; one of them being Nalani. They live completely different lives coming from completely different backgrounds. Will they last long enough to ride out the wave or will they be caught in a wipeout? There's only one way to find out. Shoots bruddah.
