What better place to take a surfing lesson then a big surf town. Apparently, while we were there.. there was a big swell? if you will... So the surf was very strong..
There are three beaches in total by San Juan del Sur.. One in the town.. one that is north and one that is south. We went for our surf lesson on the beach to the south.. with a goal of heading north aftewards.
The lesson didn't exactly go off with the best start, seeing as how I could barely carry my board.. SOOO I guess I need to start strengthening my guns!
Our instructor was from Peru.. and had been surfing lord knows how long... was very leathery looking.. missing some teeth... we aren't sure if his hair was as blonde as it was from the sun or from dying it. He was quite the character. He called us his students and amigos. He was very helpful and an amazing instructor..
I got up... but... not for long!! I really ended up just getting my ass kicked and giving up because I can only swallow so much salt water and get pushed around so much.. it's just very exhausting!!!!
It was a beautiful day at the beach though.. money well spent... and I guess I could of put more effort in then I did... NeXt Time!!!
Surfs up!!
