The early bird gets the wave

Yesterday I woke up early to go surfing. It was rainy and cloudy and not the idyllic Hawaiian conditions that I was hoping for. If I lived in Hawaii, I might not have gone that day because the conditions weren’t ideal. But it was the last day of my trip so I went. And because the conditions were not ideal, it was much less crowded, and I had more fun. The waves were the same, it was just a little rainy and cloudy and a little early. So not as many people went. I was reminded of that saying:

“Go the extra mile. It’s never crowded.”
