i can now say that i'm a surfer girl!! hell yeah! surfcamp was so awesome, a group of us are even planning a road trip for next summer and i'm so stoked!!! surfing is def the best thing ever. i met some really awesome ppl and just had the best week of my life. all our instructors were so chill (and not to mention total hotties) and everything we did we had fun with. we basically got up every morning and surfed from about 10 to 5 with an hour lunch in the middle. then we'd come back to the dorms and shower and go to dinner and then come back to the dorms and watch a movie in the lobby or do yoga or just stay up late talking in our rooms. we also got to go fishing, visit the sea turtle hospital, catch crabs in a marsh, and of course watch blue crush and listen to kevin saying which parts are actual footage and why the movie is more of a documentary. i also picked up the habit of listening to bob marley, who is awesome. i must also say that surfing is way easier to learn than snowboarding. at least it was for me. surfing is much more physically-tiring than snowboarding is though, the first day completely killed my arms. but then each day my muscles got stronger so woot. and catching your first real wave is the best feeling in the world. as rick would say, "you're riding pure energy".
