[The camera clicks on in the interior of a wood-board hut on the beach. Its door is open to display a beautiful waterside sunset but, as the viewer is shown around, it's the internal details that become the focus. The walls are lined with racks of gleaming surfboards, on gleaming rails, on wood scrubbed and varnished until it's started... yes, gleaming.

I've been spending too much time out here anyway. If you'll have me, I think I'd like to devote myself to something more important from now on.
