Surfing in the R.S.A.! [Republic of South Africa]

Knarley.

I went surfing this morning. The internet guy who came to set up our computers offered to Megan, Katie, Maggie, and I out. He has some extra boards and so this morning was my first time surfing! Megan and Maggie went this weekend with him while I was at the elephant park...

It was so much fun! He basically strapped my board to my ankle and sent me out there and told me to learn to sit on my board. And, after about an hour and a half of getting up and flipping over or falling off, I finally got it! I can now sit on the surfboard in the water, calm or waves, and have my center of gravity which helps when you actually want to stand up :) I then rode a few waves (with the help of the guy who took us) all the way to shore and that was FUN! I can't wait to go again... By the end of this trip I'll be a pro. Don't even worry about it.

Dude.
