Surfs UP!

Lauren and Laurel at Scott's surfing B-Day

Hi All

It's been awhile since our last post, but life has been great! For the last couple of months Scott has gotten me to try surfing, which I am now a huge fan of. We go out to Farria Beach in Ventura as much as we can. It started with Scott wanting to go surfing for his birthday and has turned into our cool new thing to do. Why ride a bike in the early morning when you can go surfing?
This is nothing new for Scott however. The guy has been hanging out on fast moving boards for as long as he can remember and surfing is no exception... He's really good! With that though he's a really good teacher too (good for me!) He makes catching waves look really easy, but I am here to tell you that it's not! While Scott can catch a wave and eat a sandwich while he's surfing, I paddle for mush and get frustrated :(
Really though I am getting a whole lot better. This past Sunday we went out in the early evening and I had a great day. I successfully made some turns and had some really long rides! Aside from the good waves it was a pretty cool day with sunsets, dolphins, and the Junker gang :)
Being that I was so excited about Sunday Scott and I went out again on Monday morning before work... NOT a good idea. Scary waves and SO MANY PEOPLE, the whole Labor Day thing. I got pummeled by a few wave and didn't catch anything. PLUS, the board smacked me in the head...

OH WELL, there's always tomorrow!
