A Day at the Beach

Hang loose man

A few saturdays ago I attempted surfing (March 10, 2012)
quick surf tutorial

be in shape, your arms will get tired
-wetsuit a must- especially in Dunedin
boards- a soft one to start is best, believe me when I say you do not want to get hit by a harder one, in addition, it is easier to stand up on a big surf board.
-enthusiasm, it can be exhausting and frustrating
-if starting -get a big one, and soft, short=unstable paddle out, well walk out, hold the front of board, try to avoid big surf when going out it will carry you,
to start just wait till a big wave is 10 meters (30 ft) away and start paddling as fast as you can in the other direction
it will take a while to get a sence of balance,
when good you will have a sence of balance be able to get off the board and into the air- whithout falling off of it!

It is pretty exhausting though, the burger I had afterwards at angusburger was amazing, I am not sure if it was the burger or me.

The beach is not exactly safe furn it has been a while. 

I almost caught it here.
