Don’t Hesitate
By Damon J. Duhaylonsod

Dawn patrol first light, jump in, just go
Don’t think, just stroke, let your mind just flow
Paddle past the wall, don’t say a word
’Cause out at Rocks, the soul gets stirred

[Chorus]
It’s just another drop
Over shallow stone
Just another swell
Where we all feel home
We don’t need much
Just friends dropping late
Out here at Rocks
Where you don’t hesitate

[Verse 2]
No crowd, no scene, just boards and style
Reef rash, choke dings, and a crybaby smile
The north swell’s rising, the sets feel tight
But the Bois paddle hard into da right

We laugh at da wipeouts, going over da falls
But deep inside you know it took balls
And yeah, she bites if you hesitate
But we paddle back out, hearts feelin’ great

[Chorus]
It’s just another drop
Over shallow stone
Just another swell
Where we all feel home
We don’t need much
Just friends dropping late
Out here at Rocks
Where you don’t hesitate

[Bridge]
No fear, no rush, just having fun
Just the joy of the takeoff, it just begun

[Final Chorus – updated]
It’s just another drop
But it feels like gold
With the Honokai Bois
Where the west swell’s hold
We don’t need much
Just friends dropping late
Out here at Rocks
Where you don’t hesitate

[Outro]
Out here at Rocks, where da only noise
Are da surf and laughter of da Honokai Bois
