This weekend was fatal in the sea of Israel, 5 people drown to death, there was a strong erosion in the Mediterranean sea, it was sad indeed, 4 of them drowned in -non decalared- beaches with no life guard, and 1 was having a cardiac standstill in a beach with a life guard, but there was nothing he could do, overall life guards saved 70 peoples life, so next time, go to a beach that have a life guard, even if it'll cost you some money, you don't want to pay with your life.
In the other hand, I went surfing Friday and Saturday, and I'm actually getting better at it, but After the fourth time surfing I actually got the hang of it, and it's fun, every wave I caught was a "great success", even thought I wasn't able to stand on the board for more than 2 second, I still have got a lot to learn, but I'm making progress, after the 2nd time going to the sea I wanted to give the board back to the shop, but now I see that it's just a matter of practice.
Anyways this has been my weekend, today I've got my birth day present, the honey bee king 2 rc chopper, I'll see if I like it or not..
Have a great week everyone!

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.
