My instructor from Toes on the Nose surf school fits the profile: Charles "Charlos" Bentley is ultra-laid-back and resembles a young Kevin Bacon with stereotypical surfer-dude sun-bleached hair. Charlos is so skilled on his board that he can surf while doing a headstand—so I know I'm in good hands. Surfing starts on a chilly summer morning with Charlos teaching a small group of us the art of the "pop-up. My first few tries are far from graceful, and I wonder how in the world I'm going to pull this off while balancing on a board on the water.
A few minutes later, we're wet. Charlos gives the back of my board a push into a small oncoming wave. I paddle once with each arm as he tells me to, then try to pop up.
