surfing

Spring holidays are here!

Let's see.. Haven't been productive at all, but i guess that's the point of holidays.. at least for me.
the only thing i've been doing is just bumming around at the beach. It's so nice to just lie on the beach. Of course, getting dark is the con. But, the aussies definitely loves their tan! The only thing the sun is doing to my skin is giving it scales!! Sun definitely ages skin, and I have good solid proof, ON me!!! and if i come home dark, it's an aussie-thang..

Well, the most fun i had was yesterday! Been surfing! Well, not actual surfing, but attempting surfing. With Malibu surfboards! sounds cool eih.. but those boards are just bigger surfboards which are softer so if they whack you, you don't actually have a hole in the head.

Let me just say one thing, wind and board does not go together! I had so much trouble bringing the board near the water, and into the sea. I had problems keeping the board in the right direction. Imagine wind blowing the board and the board pushing you while you try to walk on the sand which is really soft, making it even more tiring. Not mentioning the fact that gym on the previous day left my whole body aching. On top of that paddling in the water got me no where.. Weird. But when the waves pushes your board when you are on it,.... ooooh it's FUN! drinking sea water was not fun though, and the instructor did mention that we are not meant to drink it, when i told him that i did not expect it to be thaaaat salty. Of course I knew that. Even though i am a bimbo at surfing, I am doing biomed after all! drinking sea water not only leaves you dehydrated but most probably with the worst case of poisoning. urgh.. worst germs.. or even feces.. who knows?!


Well, that's that. the effort of putting on and taking off the wetsuit, bringing the board to and fro from the sea, and actually paying for that hour and half of 'surfing' was definitely worth it! Definitely looking into doing it again before i get back home, or is anyone else interested to do it back at home? any recommendations??

signing off.

peaceout, surfer chick of the weekend.
