as i mentioned on monday i had already knocked off two things of my list, one being my new blog design and the other being..........a SURF BOARD!!!!!!
yup, people i got a surfboard...well sort of...this board was actually toms and when we moved to sf back in 2003 he left it with a friend. moving to a small place and having no car made it a bit hard to continue to surf. last weekend we picked it up and since tom just got a new board it is mine, ALL MINE!
it has a few dings that need to get repaired but other then that it is perfect. it is from the 60's and tom bought it while in new zealand which was right before we met :) i can't wait to try it out...now for a wetsuit!!!
if you have ever gone surfing before you know the thrill of it, how exciting it is to catch a wave and speed through the water. how exhilarating it is. i told tom riding a bike and being able to go long distances is really awesome, how amazing that someone's body can move a machine that can propel over hills and mountains but riding a wave is like connecting with mother nature and letting it take you for a magical ride.
i can't wait to get into the cold salty water and feel at peace with nature. don't get me wrong the first day out will be ROUGH. my arms will feel like noodles, i will get totally rocked by the waves, swallow some salt water and probably cry from shear exhaustion but in the end there is nothing else like the feeling of having conquered a wave.
we have an underwater camera and we are both totally so stoked on using it. we think next weekend we will head down to santa cruz and revisit the place we spent most of our weekends long long ago.
oh and a big thanks to
kelly-anne for telling me that our friend still had the board!
