Surfing USA.3rd surfing lesson ever

December 22nd, 2011

In the midst of all these very fit 20-somethings – which I used to be – I’m in my surfing shorts and sun protection shirt…and struggling to stand riding this huge….okay….2′ wave. Wish I knew how to photoshop :-)

Hawaiian surfing

Uh.uh. uh ohhhhhh-kay

And the pros are so gracious!

I surfed. I did stand-up paddle boarding – and then paddle surfing. Pro’s paddle bonked my head as we both held on through the huge wave.

Then I did kayak surfing. OR sort of. Not many waves but what a great one!

The next day I went out to the other side – the bigger waves….when they appeared. What fun – but I lost my hat, reached for it, which put me off balance and flipped.

I am definitely wearing a helmet next time! Ha ha.

It was a blast.

Just as I was feeling a little self-conscious about my non-25 year old buff bod, the young pros said they were impressed at how adventurous I was.

I like that moniker. Did I say how gracious the pros are?

Adventurous. Still wish I could photoshop :-)
