Today’s 90-Second Escape: Surf’s Up

YouTube

The first 80-degree day of the year always gets us thinking about one thing: our first visit of the season to the coast. Granted, the water temperature always takes a while to catch up: the Atlantic nudged the thermometer to 60 this morning; it won’t reach 80 until June. But you can still throw down a towel, listen to the surf and melt away from day-to-day life. Which is the plan for today.

We sent intern Emily Reeves from N.C. State down to Atlantic Beach recently; she returned with 90 seconds (94 actually; she’s an over-achiever) of pre-season surf. Coupled with the Avett Brothers’ “At the Beach,” it’s the ideal remedy for a melancholy Monday.

Today’s 90-Second Escape: The Beach

Sometimes, when life starts to unravel, nothing beats a good stare to get things back in order. And in our stare-to-beat-stress experience, there’s nothing better to stare at — or more accurately, in to — than the surf. It comes in, it goes out, it comes in, it goes out … . Add the soundtrack by Pounding Waves and in just 90 seconds you can whip just about any woe. (Especially helpful on this, April Fool’s Day, as you wait to see what the office pranksters have in store.)

Monday — never an easy time for the outdoors enthusiast, especially come summer. After a weekend of adventure, returning to the humdrum work-a-day world can make one melancholy. 
To help ease this trying transition, we’re running a new feature every Monday, at least during the summer, called 90 Second Escape. Essentially, it’s a 90-second video of a place you’d probably rather be: a trail, a park, a greenway, a lake … anywhere as long as it’s in the sun.

Some Mondays — and I’m not saying this is going to be one of them — you just need to take a 90-second time out, transport yourself to the beach and lose yourself with comforting assurance of the surf coming in, going out, coming in, going out … .
