It was stunning. The sun was setting, the waves were massive, and there were about 20 surfers out on the water. Some did flips and other…

Joke time 🐆
Why do cheetah’s always seem to win games? Because their such Cheat-ah’s. Cheetah’s are known as the fastest land animals in the world, reaching a speed of about 58 miles per hour. In all, they’re second to the sailfish, which can travel in the water at 68 mph, while the peregrine falcon can dive at 240 mph, faster than any other animal on earth. Fun fact: A Cheetah named Sarah placed the world record of fasted cheetah to run the 100 meter dash, completing it in 5.95 seconds. That’s faster than Usain Bolt!
