Surfing day
I need this entry to simply document that on the 27 of January 08 I had a perfect surfing day at Lorne, for a novice of course.
We needed to practice paddling in very flat waters, a lake could have done the trick, but we also enjoyed some clean waves and I am happy to announce that I managed to catch a few by paddling and it feels awesome.
At one point we paddled out more than 200 hundred meters, sat on the boards and watched Lorne from the other side, A little picture perfect moment. Diving off the board and swimming down trying to reach the bottom is also a nice thing to do.
I think that we spent the last 4 hours of the day simply practicing our paddling technique, there is still a long way to go, but I am more and more hooked every day, I think that I might be willing to do some push-ups and go for a swim at the local pool as a form of training.
Eventually and given enough entries it will become obvious why this...surf thing is such a big deal and features high in my list of dreams to make a reality.
