Surfing: Science Fiction

[penthius]

When you surf the waves at Remotown, you carry a speargun, and you're part daredevil, part hero. The hero part comes with the chance that you'll be attacked by a voidfish and kill it. The damn things have destroyed all our attempts to set up a protected nursery for smaller, gentler fish. They'll even flop across the land for up to a quarter-mile, just to get to a protected nursery. So far they haven't left the water to go after us mammals, but most people make sure that their house is at least a mile away from the shore, just in case they change their mind and smell the fish we had for dinner or something. Because yes, there are still fish. River fish and lake fish, we can set up protected nurseries inland without a problem, though there are just as many sharp-toothed nasties in the bodies of water that aren't salt.

Story potential: Low.
Notes: Mostly just a bit of setting.
