Lone surfer at the shoreline contemplating whether she should head into the water.

The back story - I spoke to her on the beach earlier and she confessed that she has only done this once before.... she confessed to me that even though the surf was mild, that she was still a little scared, but was going for it.

She was standing here for almost 40 minutes before she went in. Good for her!
