Summary: Spock watches Jim surfing.
"Don't you want to surf with me?" Jim asked. "The weather is perfect for that."

Spock replied, "As I have mentioned, to rest is to rest, to cease using energy. It is not logical to exhaust myself from vigorous sports."

"All right. Dinner after me indulging my illogical human need to exhaust myself?"

"It is acceptable."

The sunlight shone in his hair, and the tight wet suit showed off his muscular body, but it was his glow of enthusiasm that captured Spock's attention. Even after tragedies and suffering they encountered, Jim was still admirably open to new experience and the unknown.

Spock was uneasy when he first encountered the ocean on Earth. He conquered his feeling with mastery of survival skill and knowledge, but Jim looked totally at home riding the waves, reminding Spock their different heritage.

Spock was a son of desert, silent and stoic, while Jim was a son of water, unpredictable and ever changing.

However, when Jim returned with a bright smile, their worlds were bridged for once.
