And so was I, only once or twice, but that’s good enough for me! Donning full wetsuits, us surfer newbies learnt about rips, balance and how to stand up then made for the broken waves. After finding out that being a little too far forward equals a mouthful of sea and interesting few seconds under a wave, I did manage to stand up – thanks to Caroline for recording the momentous occasion!
My arms are now thoroughly tired, which isn’t that surprising given that they were essentially doing press-ups for 2 hours, and that’s a tad more work than the typing they are used to. It may take a few days to recover, but I’ll be back in again soon!
