Picture this... 80s themed birthday party, we're in full costume and having a great night. Everyone's outside and talking about surfing. Linda chimes in and admits to not ever surfing before. Kona made a promise to give a lesson in exchange for some shared beers on the beach. ((smooth right?)) A few facebook messages, then texts, and even a few phone calls later, a "Come over, I'm having a small BBQ" text comes through. Linda agreed and spent the whole night up on the couch talking with Kona until they fell asleep on the couch. In the morning before they left for work, Kona asked her to come back after. The days became weeks, then months, until they knew this was forever and said "I love you!" … she still can’t surf well but with a lifetime together, maybe there’s still hope.
