A Lesson In Teamwork

I’m not a surfer. I like the ocean and I like to swim. But surfing is something I watch. I’m amazed by a surfer’s athleticism. In the following, under one minute Vimeo video, two surfers give me a lesson on teamwork. We need each other if we are to make it through the tough times. They inspired me to always offer a hand and to accept one as well.
