I love when the water's lively like this, but then I'm a free diver by nature or maybe just a swimmer, in cases like this one. Flat days are fine, and helpful when tanking, but there are too many flat days every year.
Surge is good, I say. Let there be engagement. I like when the water pushes back, pushes hard; I like working against and with the flow, particularly the latter. Whether free diving or kayaking, give me some texture, some liveliness, and I'm a happy fellow.
The picture tells the story better than my words. Doesn't that look fun?
