Surfing!
I went surfing yesterday. Actually, I went to the beach and fell off a surfboard a lot, but since I did manage to stay on a few times, I suppose I can brag about doing it. More importantly, I have been wanting to do this for a very long time and I finally did. Wow...must be a good week for things like that!
Of course, it was really fun. I grew up in San Diego and we went to the beach a lot when I was young, but mostly we were on a boogie boards. I did try surfing a few times, and the memories started coming back as soon as I found myself twisting around underwater. I was not very good then either.
I took a lesson from a surf shop in Shichirigahama, but we drove over to Enoshima to surf. I was surprised at how many people were out in the water on a weekday morning, but the sun was shining and there were some waves, so maybe it makes sense. But...it was REALLY crowded!
Anyway, I am going again next week!
