How I did it: My grandma who lives in Florida contacted a guy through a suft shop in Florida.  It was 50 for an hour, but I was actually out there closer to an hour and forty minutes.  I stood up on the third try!  You need a lot of upper body strength, because when you're on the board you have to swim a long ways using just your arms.  Your legs are flat on the board and useless.

Dolphins swam by!  They were surfing, too.  It was beautiful.

Lessons & tips: Sunscreen your butt and legs, or you won't be able to sit down!
