Each heathen would paddle three or four hundred yards out to sea, (taking a short board with him), then face the shore and wait for a particularly prodigious billow to come along; at the right moment he would fling his board upon its foamy crest and himself upon the board, and here he would come whizzing by like a bombshell! It did not seem that a lightning express train could shoot along at a more hair-lifting speed. I tried surf-bathing once, subsequently, but made a failure of it. I got the board placed right, and at the right moment, too; but missed the connection myself. &#8212; The board struck the shore in three quarters of a second, without any cargo, and I struck the bottom about the same time, with a couple of barrels of water in me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.herr-rau.de\/wordpress\/archiv\/twain_roughing_it_p526.jpg\" alt=\"twain_roughing_it_p526.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>None but natives ever master the art of surf-bathing thoroughly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark Twain, <em>Roughing It<\/em>, 1871 &#8211; Reise- oder eher Herumtreiberbericht aus dem Wilden Westen, San Francisco und Honolulu. \u00dcberhaupt ein vergn\u00fcgliches Buch.
