Surfing..

Well I'm not a pro surfer like our dear friend DT, but I always wanted to surf, it's funny that I started snowboarding before I started surfing in the ocean, but it's just that I never really knew where to start.

It's not that common in Israel, even though there are many people who do it, I personally never encountered anyone who surf , except for one, he even promised to teach me how to surf, be he left work so we're not talking anymore..

Anyways, yesterday I finally fulfilled a long time dream, and bought my first Surf-Board, Spider 6"3 board, nice one for my 5"11 height, and I went to the ocean with the guy from the store.

My first thought were: "ahh, that's look easy" when I saw other people surf, but when I tried, I was a mess, I could only stand after the wave already passed by, or sometimes I get into the turbulence of the wave and get sucked right into the ocean floor, and the funny thing is, that I didn't swallow so much ocean water..

Anyways, there were so many Jellyfish since last week, that I didn't even saw them and I still all stinged out, all of my body hurt, my chest is full of bites, my hands, I can't move my pinkie finger, but I still have a smile!

I fulfilled a long time dream, and I will be actively surfing through the warm summer of Israel, before or after work.. I work close to the beach, so it fits me well.
