SURF'S UP!

Earlier in this blog, I mentioned that I really wanted to learn to surf. Well, this weekend, I took my first steps: I took my first lesson in Long Beach, Long Island. Thanks to Elliot at Surf 2 Live, he was a cool teacher, and I plan to go back for more lessons (classes run through the end of October).

I wiped out a bunch of times, which I guess is normal, but when I did "get up," it was exhilarating. I can't wait to go back. I can totally see how this could end up being a lifestyle thing, and I only regret not trying this years ago. My wife took this picture of me, and many others - and she decided that when I go back next weekend, she's going to leave the camera at home and take a lesson too!
