There is more than one way to ride a wave than with a surfboard on a beach. In fact, my favorite kind of wave is the one you see in a steeplechase such as this one, held on a fall afternoon in “The Old Dominion.” The field has streamed over the emerald fields and pulled into sight, galloping toward us like thunder. It was a chaos of voice and pounding hooves, but the moment they lifted over the brush fence—in unison—there was a silent pause of sound. …My perfect wave, the Eighth at Leesburg.
