if everybody had an ocean...

February 5, 2010

After renting some boards on the beach, we paddled out to the waves again to give surfing another go. This attempt was slightly better than the last time - but still kind of sad.

A fine selection:


Walking into the water:


Waiting for the waves:


Paddle, paddle:


Trying to get up:


Almost:


Not quite:


Maybe next time:


You win this round, waves...


...but we'll be back.

Great that you guys got up there and tried though! I remember learning in Australia and it was incredibly hard! Great shots and good on you guys for getting out there again.

I can't remember if I've commented before but I just want to say following your adventures is like a contact high! I'm sorry you didn't get to make it to South America but I guess that will be a whole different adventure someday...can't wait to see what you two do next!

Great Pictures. I believe you had a great joy. Sending the memorable moments through Postcards is really a valued thing.

Keep going for it!! I cheated a bit and had a lesson when I was a Senior in High School, and then decided to head to the oh so cold waters in Santa Cruz... every weekend. After awhile, with good friends and a trusty wet suit I caught the hang of it. It did help that the surf board I was using was the size of a boat... really stable but still!! Much love! xo Love the photos!

Gorgeous photographs! I have tried surfing and think that's a pretty good effort! :) I LOVE the concept of your blog (& the look and content), as well as feeling more-than-slightly jealous that you've got up and runaway together. Fantastic! I'm your newest follower and look forward to reading more! City Girl x
