The
Legend of The Tide
The World was born and with its first breath
it created the sea. Ever since then, when the world breathes the
tides change: every time when it inhales the tide is low, and when
it exhales the tide is high. One day there was a great drought and
the people suffered from hunger. There was no food. Ultimately, this
was because the people were not thankful for the food they had
received, life and everything else. For this reason, the sea was sad
and it had become sick with sadness. The people searched for
something to cure the sea.
One day, a girl had an idea: she found a piece of buoyant wood that
floated on the little water that was left. She climbed atop the wood
and asked her friends to do the same. They caressed the sea this way
and little by little the water returned and the world began to heal
itself. Until this moment, the people had not realized that they
needed to thank the sea.
The people have continued this tradition of inventing surf boards in
order to caress and thank the sea until this day.
