Surfer Girl!

I finally did it! I went surfing for my first time and it was SSOOOOOO much fun! We rented longboards (much easier for beginners) on Kuta beach and were practicing in the breaking waves (also easier for beginners!). I was so amazed at how fast it feels like you are moving and how huge and looming some of the waves are. I rode a lot of the waves because it was less scary to ride the big ones than to watch them approach and then have to go through them! In an hour, I managed to get up on my feet, but I was still hanging on to the sides of the board. Supposedly not bad for my first try – better than my mum at least!! I can see it being totally addictive, despite the liters of sea water that I snorted up my nose and I can’t wait to go again!
