Surf lesson

After another great breakfast we were picked up by Misty for our surf lesson.

She was a great teacher and the boards we were learning on were a great hybrid between the traditional 'foamies' I've learnt on before and standard boards in that they were light and had rubberised tops but the underside was hard with three fins. We had a great time in the huge waves, mostly riding foam for safety's sake. I'm glad I had a lesson as it's been a while since I last surfed and this allowed me to really think about what I was doing and correct my mistakes. Amber was full of smiles: She stood up quite a few times and only had one minor bump with the board right at the end of the lesson.

After surfing we had a decent lunch at Kike's Place and then spent the afternoon on the beach finishing the books we've been reading and watching the Billabong pro-surfers making it look easy in the evening light.
