Surfs Up!
I have dreamed of surfing since I was a teen, but it just wasn’t in the cards for this land-locked suburbanite.
Until TODAY!
Hubs and I hired a baby sitter and took a 2 1/2 hour surfing lesson in Kuta, Bali!
And? It worked!
I was afraid that “surf school” was a gimmick, but it was actually practical and useful.
And they had all of the equipment, including board shorts with no Velcro in the fly, and one of those cool skin shirts.
Of course I did fall a lot, but I rode a few waves too.
The instructor, Juni, was very helpful and encouraging.
He also said Aloha a lot, even though he was Balinese. I will probably need to start saying it more if I am going to be a surfer!
I lost my headband to the briney deep, and I’m completely exhausted but so so contented.
Maybe euphoric is a better word.
I never dreamed that I would get to learn to surf after moving into The Parenthood.
Tomorrow it’s back to reality!

Just found this blog, and after reading through a few of your posts, have to say I will be back.
Great job surfing, coming from detroit I also never had the chance… but it’s good to know that the “surfing school” is actually worth while. I will definately keep that in mind when I get the chance to try surfing out.
Thanks for the great article and pics.
