learn how to surf

i cant believe it. only 144 more days until i’m going to costa rica to learn how to surf. i’m stoked! the camp people just sent me a list of excercises to start doing to get my body ready for it. i’m really gonna have to make myself take time for this because i know these next few months will fly by before i know it. still though…... i cant wait!!! about to buy my plane tickets, then there is no turning back (like i would want to turn back from this lol).

so i have decided this is definitely something i want to do in the near future (well, within the next 12 months). i have found the organzation i want to use and right now i have 2 options. i can go August to Wrightsville Beach, or i can go in January to Costa Rica! here are the pro’s and con’s….

August
+ learn how to surf
+ sooner
+ lots of other fun activites
- things going on at work i should be there for
- wrightsville beach, nice but ive been there before
+/- all girls (could be great, could be awful – you know how girls are)
- cost of gas and time to drive

January
+learn how to surf
- a little more expensive
- i have to wait longer
+i have more time to save money to go
+ never been to Costa Rica :)
+ + in the middle of cold wet january i could be getting a tan
+ co-ed
- cost of plane ticket and time to fly
- cost of passport (which really isnt a bad thing cause i was gonna get it anyway – it’s on my list too)

....so far this is my dilemma. either one will be great. i guess i’m just trying to figure out which one works best for me. any suggestions??? i need to decide soon!
