Who doesn't love happy endings?
In case y’weren’t au fait with the scene at Fort Point, a junky dirty water left beneath San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, it has a cadre of locals former Surfer editor Steve Hawk describes simply as “dicks.”
And, one month ago, local kitesurfing instructor and foil-boarding aficionado, John von Tesmar, was reminded of this fact when he lost his leashless board, watched as it washed to the shore and then attacked by an angry local who jerks a rock above his head multiple times to slay the damn thing.
The footage, famously, was captured by Jon Solaga, a member of the Bay Area Kiteboarding page.
Now, in one of the feel-good stories of the year, Tesmar, has returned to Fort Point, with his jet boat and foil board, a new one presumably, and ridden several waves to glory, even referencing the Mattew Wilder song Break My Stride as he braves the torrid Fort Worth surf scene.
Tesmar sings,
“Ain’t nothin’ gonna to break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down, oh no
I got to keep on moving.”
In a moving post, he writes,
“After my last session here where I lost and had my board broken by some angry locals, I came out to this session wanting Redemption. And I got it!”
Essential.
