After we arrived at my Cabina and lugged Nicole's suitcase into my house, we saw Rebecca. I thought it would be fun if she gave us a surf lesson so we changed immediately throwing on sunscreen and in Nicole's case with SPF 70. We ran out for our first lesson.
Rebecca drew fake surf boards in the sand and we had to practice getting up. I apparently am already a grandma and was unable to get this down. GREAT! It took some practice but eventually I went from slowly getting up to getting a nice little jump.
Watch out.. we are the next pros'!!!!
After our sand lesson we proceeded to go out into the waves. This was the first time I had been back into the huge waves since I had been smashed to the bottom of the ocean. I was surprisingly not scared.. it was nice to have Nicole's support as we tried this surfing process. She was quite talented!! She could stay on the boar and almost get up!! I on the other hand couldn't even stay on the board... I kept falling off... SO this whole surfing thing is not going quite as well for me. I was quite the entertainer and kept them laughing because I was sooo horrible.
Rebecca was quite the sport and took our beatings well. We surfed for around an hour and a half and were exhausted. The waves were strong and we were weak! I found it easier paddling out into the waves? Who knows.... we'll see where this surfing thing ends up going.
We sat and enjoyed some goldfish watching the waves after our bodies were beat.
