Hanging Ten

Ryan and Jody gave Mel and I surfing lessons for Christmas. Terrific fun and nothing to carry back in our luggage. The perfect gift!!

As usual, Mel was better than me and got up on her first wave. Pretty soon she was riding them all the way into the beach - clearly a natural.

I had more success this time than when I tried it a few years ago in Tofino, but the waves weren't quite strong enough to keep me moving. I'd get up but then would just sink after a couple of metres. Really fun though, a great to see Mel having so much success.
