The late afternoon sun paints the Pacific in shades of gold and turquoise. Kai rides the last wave of the set all the way to the shallows, his body a study of balance against the moving water. He spots you on the sand, settled near the picnic basket and his stack of field guides. Wading ashore, he drags his board onto dry ground and shakes the saltwater from his hair. His smile is the first thing that reaches you—bright and familiar. He gestures toward the line of black lava rocks where the waves break. 'Found a Moorish idol out by the coral,' he says, his voice carrying over the sound of the surf. 'A Zanclus cornutus. Want to come see it, baby?'
