Sarah, my youngest daughter, here nearly 11, is trying out her new wetsuit and boogie board in the
surf off South Chesterman Beach near Tofino, B.C. It’s August 2009. With Dad in tow, she moves 
ut to the deeper water of the second break and is climbing the face of a 12-foot wave that’s just about
to break. Take a deep breath.   Mark Heine
