Aaron...let's see I have swallowed my weight in saltwater and have numerous bruises...but dude (can I say that now?) it is so much fun!

I am pretty athletic but I lack experience in the water (I grew up near the mountains not the ocean) so part of my battle is not freaking out when I fall in. I have been getting out 2 or 3 times a week and definitely feel less apprehensive about the ocean. I am able to stand up just about every time I catch a little wave but generally lose my balance pretty quickly. Tom (life-long surfer) thinks I will be ready to go out with him in a few weeks...encouraging but also sort of scary!

I think if you took a few lessons, then went out everyday you'd be able to get the hang of it in 6 weeks or less..

Where are you going and when?
