What Ryouka might not have realized was that there was someone already enjoying the feeling of freedom that came with using a board like this today. Granted it was also remarkably predictable who it was that was enjoying that feeling of freedom in question. Grinning to himself, Moondoggie would have agreed that sort of thing eased the nerves, but unfortunately there were two things wrong with that. One was that his nerves never really got strung out. The other was, of course, that by the time she headed to the half-pipe-shaped wave, he would have already been pulling off an aggressive hand plant on the side of it, which looked even more aggressive due to the fact that waves were generally translucent. Honestly, he wasn't the type to calm his nerves on a day of lifting. "Woohoo, here to pull some aggro moves, Ryo-chan?" He made a hang-ten gesture at her before the wave pulled him the other way. It seemed he was comfortably ignoring the ship landing for the time being.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, back closer to home, so to speak, an old enemy was looking up toward the Gekko craft while carrying a ref board under her left arm. Looking about, she figured that if she had gotten this far then there really wasn't any turning back. Regardless, what was done was done and she would have to live with that. Soon enough the Gekkostate was going to have to send someone out to meet her.
