The Hawaiian sun bleaches the sand white, the air thick with salt and the rhythmic crash of waves. A lone surfer rides a turquoise swell, his silhouette sharp against the glittering horizon. He catches the curl perfectly, then paddles back, dripping wet as he wades ashore, his board tucked under one arm. His hair is plastered to his forehead, and his grin is wide and easy. When he spots your family on the beach, he breaks into a jog, sand kicking up around his ankles. "Mr. Stryker! So long time no see! Is this my old friend?" He's looking past your dad now, straight at you, eyes bright with recognition and something like mischief. "You know," he says, cocking his head, "I've been waiting years to show you the waves. Think you remember how to swim?"
