Attempting to surf!...

My expectations of taking a surfing class in spain consisted of me and a few other kids out in the water catching a few big waves and owning each and every one of them. I snowboard, i wake board occasionally, this has got to be just as easy. Nope. Nooooooo way as easy... to be completely honest, surfing kicked my ass. There are about 20 of us in the class, plus a few little spanish kids who tag along, plus all the other surfers out there you have to watch out for. I mean, trying to stand up and not get trampled on by a wave is hard enough but having to watch out for a ton of people while trying to catch a wave is just impossible, eventually you start hoping that people will just get out of the way. Definitely got hit by a few surf boards and hit others with mine, not so much fun. Also consumed about two gallons worth of salt water, half of that going up my nose. (Which is really not fun when you stand up and realize you have snot all over your face right after you got trampled by what seemed like a tsunami but what was really probably just a four foot wave. If only someone took videos of all these precious moments...) Now I am sure I'm sick from all the salt water and about to give up on my hot surfer chick dreams. (Considering that snot all over my face probably wouldn't be a good look for quicksilver.) But I won't give up until the class is over! Then I'll most likely give up :)

hope to get some rad pics of my epic surfing skills soon brahs!
