How I did it: I just moved to Gold Coast, Australia. It's like a total surfing city. It was summer and their are tons of surfing schools there. I signed up for a lesson and TADA!! After one lesson I could not fall of the board. YAY!!! :) Read how I did it…

BlackScorpion7 just is...
Made a big step already, which is getting information where I can take lessons here in Belgium. I think I’ve found a good club where I can start out and the plan is to take a first lesson within a month or two (depending on the weather). Fact is, if I can’t do it, then at least I have tried it and that’s the most important thing! Maybe the title to this goal is a bit wrong, it’s just trying the surfing. I know I won’t get up on the board from the first lesson. But I just want to try and see how I like it. If I like it, I’ll try to continue. If not, at least I tried :)
MollyMcQueen back at work
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!
I had a pretty good start in the summer of 08. I could at least stand up…now I have to get back into it this summer and get into some big waves…and eventually try out a smaller board!
aussie_kitty33 is trying to avoid the hot+sweaty Brisbane summer ... 35c degrees 2day
which would require me to get over my fear of the ocean and getting eaten by a shark or tangled in seaweed and drowning … and my hate of sand
Lace368 is working on my 20 things!
This would be a really cool thing to know! But I am scared of sharks! I better put that on my list too!
