he was basque, actually

I knew a kid who came to California from Spain to surf (and to go to school for a few months). He was a very good surfer. He told me he was afraid of the ocean. I said it doesn't make sense to surf, if you are afraid of water. He said that fear kept him from falling.

He also thought the name of the Pacific Ocean was a bad joke. The Pacific Ocean is anything but calm. He was extra afraid of it, of all the oceans.
