if everybody had an ocean...

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.

ReplyDeleteWow! So much fun! I am so jealous of your amazing adventure! I've always wanted to take a trip around the world;o) Definitely inspiring! Can't wait to see your next stop on your journey!
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.

ReplyDeletelove it! someday i want to be able to surf... someday! :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks so awesome! I Love the ocean...probably because I live in a desert. :-) Keep hanging ten!
ReplyDeletei tried in hawaii. couldnt get up for the life of me!
ReplyDeleteGreat Pictures. I believe you had a great joy. Sending the memorable moments through Postcards is really a valued thing.
ReplyDeleteKeep 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!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous 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
