Surfers are pseudo spiritual quacks.
At least some of ‘em are. It’s not a sport, it’s a way of life. Riding waves is a mystical communion with mother nature. Yadda yadda, you know the stereotypes.
Damn hippies.
Anyway, speaking of the universe and cosmic intervention and whatnot, this guy above got some real karmic retribution while surfing – what appears to be Bali – when he ran over a beginner, then got tangled in a mess of surf leashes and regrets.
It is…quite the saga.
Let’s break it down.
We open with drone footage of what looks to be a beginner. Our protagonist. The chosen one. But she has yet to embark on her hero's journey. For now, she’s on a bright yellow board, floundering; she’s positioned in a vulnerable spot in the lineup, right in the way of incoming surfers. She gets whacked, as was preordained to happen. A surfer rides directly over her, like a speedbump, as she hides behind her log.
No word about injuries, but everyone seems okay. Likely some board dings, though.
Then, the instant karma hits for the surfer who did the running over. The two surfers get terribly tangled with their leashes, attempting to go their own separate ways, but being pulled back to one another in a cosmic connection of good and evil.
Also, they’re still in the impact zone.
The beginner surfer, at one point, gets washed up by a wave, and her board seems to whack the surfer who did the running over. More karma.
Finally, a savior emerges. A floppy-hat wearing redeemer. The hero these people needed, but didn’t deserve. He gets everyone all untangled, and sends the beginner on her merry way. The dude who ran her over? He’s still trying to compose himself.
Happy ending for all; can’t wait for the sequel.
