Surf's Up

In the last blog I wrote, I know I said I was giving up on the sport. I was going to allow my Costco foam board to collect spider webs in it's corner. But, I think I have changed my mind.

Last night Josh looked at the surf report. He said, "the waves are going to be 'ankle-to-knee." For us, that means "Surf's Up." Basically, we are pretty terrible at surfing, but somehow we keep paddling out ever since my brother, Robbie, took us surfing on Thanksgiving morning, in 2008.

I paddled out and caught a few "ankle-to-knee" waves. I rode them into shore. Um...literally into the shore, since I haven't perfected that cool waddle that makes the board sort of "brake." I simply jump off my board, and hope to not land in a sinkhole or on a sting ray (which has happened before). Let's just say, a sting ray sting stings more than a bikini wax. Youch!

Basically, I am feeling rejuvenated and for lack of a better word, downright "beachy." Summer is around the corner and today was a great kick-start to what I predict will be a rad summer! Make that a "bitchin' summer" - all you 1980's yearbook signers.
