    And get good at it!



    ... 5 days ago

    Uh, lame. They cancelled my class. I guess it won’t be hard to make friends with someone that can teach me how, it being Hawaii and all, but I’m still a little bummed.

    Then Go Surf Waimea 1 week ago

    Pretty simple self explanatory goal I would say.



    I guess this is a practical goal to have 1 week ago

    in wales. Where I live right next to the coast. There are plenty of adventure activity centres, especially in the Gower.

    Bit scared though, coz of eyes and wearing contact lenses! This is a definite do-before-I-die goal.

    ...Ah! Just read the question below about contact-lense wearing and surfing. I do swim a lot anyway and not had problems with that, so feel bit better about surfing now.



    surf on my own 1 week ago

    I took a lesson once, but I want to be able to rent a board and just go!



    I want to learn to surf! 1 week ago

    It seems so much fun, and I don’t have any chances to do it where I live right now! Maybe on a vacation someday!



    velcro-strap tan line 3 weeks ago

    I was watching Psych (the Old and the Restless) and young Shawn is with his grandfather on a bench and is able to tell a girl is a goofy foot surfer by the tan line on her ankle from the strap from her leash. Once I learn to surf I will hopefully spend a day surfing. By the end of the day I’ll have a tan line because I spent the day surfing.



    Summer 4 weeks ago

    If I go on a vacation this summer I’m going to take surfing lessons at the place I go. Now it is just a matter of getting myself together and taking a vacation. Hopefully I’ll learn by the end of the summer. I’m probably going to make a fool of myself but it’ll be worth it in the end. In the mean time I should work on my upper body strength by doing push ups and laps at a pool, so when I surf I’ll be able to paddle out without getting tired.



    What???!!!! Two years to complete? 4 weeks ago

    They (the ones who wrote in the right column) say that int takes 2 years on average to complete this goal.

    I don’t believe them and I will prove them wrong :)



    Radisauris is going to try to take care of alot of stuff today.

    1st try 4 weeks ago

    K i rented a board and went out with my friend. We were only out there for like 2 hours so i didn’t get much practice. i caught one wave but my friend didn’t teach me how to stand up so i just kinda grabbed onto the board.
