How to learn to surf
It made me
 "Humbling, exhilarating, and worth sucking up a lot of salty water."
How I did it: Surfdiva.com surf school in La Jolla CA specializes in teaching women to surf. For me I had to try over and over to get the feel of it. Once I felt the waves start to lift up the back of my board and I was able to get into position quickly, the momentum of the waves did the rest. It's a feeling I'll never forget. Lessons & tips: Are you good at push ups, sit ups, balancing and aren't afraid of the ocean? Then you'll be just fine.

How I did it: I was determined that I knew how. I'd seen enough movies growing up about somebody learning to surf or about surfers, that I had a basic idea of how to do it.I also grew up skateboarding from the age of 5 and snowboarding was a natural transition for me.I went to galveston last winter and rented a soft top board. The waves were some of the "best since the last hurricane" according to all the shops.I got up and rode in a couple… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I went to manly and took a 2 hour lesson. I now know the basics and can stand up. The waves were pretty small but it was a windy day and just getting out far enough to catch a wave was exhausting. I definitely need to be fitter to improve at this. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went with some friends and found an instructor named Alfredo at the hostel "Casa de Oro" in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.It cost us $20 for a one hour lesson which turned into a 3 hour lesson including transportation to the beach about 40 mins away. TOTALLY worth it! Read how I did it…

How I did it: Drove down to Tofino with two friends and one of their dads. We rented these huge surf boards that were twice my size, wet suits and the shoes. All of them had been surfing before and I was the new one and feeling alittle nervous. Me and water=not the greatest of friends. But they showed me a few basic things and gave me some tips to get me started, other than that I was on my own. It took some falls and swallowing of salt … Read how I did it…

Delayed due to loss of strength due to chronic illness. I didn’t realize how much strength I had lost while I was sick until I got out into the ocean and was thrown around by the waves!!!
Must build muscle and try again next year.
kBryce homework, a little sleep, hell
I live 30 minutes from 3 different beaches. Yet I never go to them. It starts with the fact that I hate that sandy feeling after leaving, and that I wasn’t too happy with my body. But I really want to have more hobbies, and this seems perfect. [My sister surfs, even more of a reason]
After seeing David Rastomon surf i fell in love with the art. I have always been fascinated by the ocean. I ride my bike there almost everyday. I live close to newport beach and everytime i go i see surfers. I think surfing is an art. Everyone has there own style and uniqueness. I respect surfing the most because it is the mother of skateboarding. Skateboarding derived from surfing! I hear that if you surf itll have a tremendous impact on your balnce. And what better way to incoparate some surfing techniques into skating???
Im pretty stoked on this MAN!!!! I may be black but if im going to surf ima be the first black guy in the OC doing it!!!!
:’)

ruthunknown is revising and trying to work out life
now for the hard stuff :D x
it just looks so fun. i snowboard so maybe i will pick up surfing easily? or maybe not haha
I love the Beach, I have a passion that goes deeper than just having fun, I care for the Beach. Surfing looks like fun, and I’m willing to learn, and to get up when I fall down. It also looks like one of the best ways to be in tune with nature.

I actually went swimming after work! It’s the journey. I’m just so glad as if I finally went to the gym on the first day or something. I feel empowered and stronger. Oh and it rained on me in the water.

I was watching the surfers yesterday morning before work. We had a south swell so tons of Honolulu surfers were out. Told the guy next to me that we live in heaven and he agreed. He asked if I surf and I told him of my fear of being scraped on the reef by a monster wave. He gave me tips for leaving stuff at home so I can go in the water. He said the water is healing. I think I’ll swim today. I could use some healing.
