I have wanted to learn how to surf since watching the inspirational 1star movie Blue Crush (about a bunch of hot, fit, tan girls holding their own surfing the 30 foot waves of Hawaii with all the locals), and while I have a very realistic view of the number of lessons it will take to get my horribly balanced self up on that board....what better place and time to learn than in Hawaii.
With that being said, please have a look at the attached photo. NOW is not quite the time for my surfing endeavor. This picture like the rest to little justice to the actually size and strength of these waves! The last 3 days, we have had HIGH WARNING for strong currents, heavy drops and high waves. We have had a great time braving the above mentioned and wondering out into the violent ocean, facing the elements and being tossed around. Apparently they weren't kidding when they put there warning signs out! Not to worry Ma, I haven't gone out without Ryan and the moment I begin to feel tired, I begin the battle against the undertow to head to shore! (except for the time he was snapping this photo right before that wave picked me up and tossed me like I weighed nothing!!!)
So for the time being, we are just gonna admire all the experienced surfers ride these treacherous waves and sit and wait patiently for the ocean to calm down a bit before I pick up a board and paddle out for my turn!
