I haven't gotten the photos from the place yet. Eep. So here's what we experienced last Sunday:

So yah, imagine seeing those coming at you… unrelenting as you try to catch one of them! Ahhh… Imagine your upper body sticking out in the midst of that madness (see pink mark! lol)! That photo doesn't do the environment justice, though, but it's close enough.

In case you were wondering… I didn't twist my ankle this time around nor did I take anyone out with my surfboard; I am officially a SURF DIVA! w00t.

I had SOOOO much fun out in the ocean and am happy to report that can get up on my board now! In fact, on day one of our clinic, within the first 10 minutes of being out in the ocean, I was able to get up and ride it all the way. No bad wipeouts for me this time around.

Day two is an entirely different story; at the end of our lesson, the wonderful Surf Divas told us that day one had intermediate waves; day two had advanced waves! OMG. I wish I could've taken a video of the waves pounding us out there… We went one inch forward (into the ocean) and it would bring us 5 feet back! LOL. I probably had one or two great runs the second day because of that but it was still awesome. I need to save up again to go on the "Level 2" class this summer. Maybe after graduating from that class, I'll be a Super Surf Diva? Hehehe.

Oh, I would highly recommend taking a course at Surf Diva in La Jolla, CA. Private lesson, group clinic, whatever; they have wonderful Divas at the helm. Did I mention that the owner is very laid back, down to earth and really fun? If you're a guy, you can also take a surf class but you won't be a Diva… OK, maybe a Divo

Photos to follow.

I'm back… in La Jolla where in two hours I will be taking my third surf lesson (the first one was kinda like a teaser); this time, it'll be a two-day clinic and am so excited! What did I do to prepare for such a loverly weekend? Well, I was going to do a bit of running and lift weights but have not done so and expect to be a bit out-of-breath by day's end… I will do some stretching and maybe some Pilates this morning just to get the blood flowing before hitting the beach.

I can't believe I'll be missing an important match on telly today, though; Chelsea versus Barnsley.. lol. I woke up early cos I thought I'd miss the match; it turns out the kick off is the same time I need to check-in for the surf clinic! I have faith in my boys, though Then again… Pompey (Portsmouth FC) just handed United (ManURE!) a solid kick in the bum and out of the FA Cup!

Anyway back to surfing… Didn't really check the surf report (unlike the way I religiously check the powder report when going snowboarding) I guess cos I'm not that comfortable with the larger swells (yet)! I'll take a 2-foot wave, please. LMAO.

Okie, gotta go stretch and eat brekkers.
