tj brought his skim board to the beach with him. and, of course, drew was immediately intrigued and they had to try it...it did not go down well for any of them...literally. here are a few pics for your entertainment:
i love all the kids gathered around their "hero"...if only it would have stayed that way. instead...
he looked so confident waiting on just the right wave...
yeah, he pretty much ate sand.
so i guess the guys felt like they had not had enough humiliation, because the very next day they decided to rent a surf board. i am pleased to report that they had a much better experience with that {well, at least drew did...sorry, tj, we still love you no matter your surfing abilities ;)}
here are a few pics from that hoo-rah:
dontcha love that picture? i mean, they really look like legit surfers. until you check out these pictures...
now, let me just say here, we had some pretty legit waves this day...i mean, i have never been in the ocean when the waves were quite as big or strong...which was perfect if you're going to try to surf, but extremely scary...so with that being said, tj took on the waves first...
ru-roh. okay, cut him some slack. no lie, this is A LOT harder than it looks...
drew took on the waves next...
it only took him a few times, and can you believe it...
yes, i'll admit it...that's me, too :) it was a lot of fun trying, though...if you've never been surfing, i was so surprised at how hard it was to just get the board turned in the right direction, not to mention then getting on top of it, watching for a good wave, timing getting up on the board...getting up on the board...it was pretty hard! but yeah, i was pretty excited about getting up on it.
meanwhile, i was having mini-heart attacks every five seconds because kenzie was delving out into deeper and deeper water. she loved the hard waves, and i was about to stroke out trying to take pictures of the guys and watch her at the same time...just a few pictures of her having a little fun...
well, i think that's enough for one day...if you want to see all of our surfing and skim board fun, check out my entire album HERE.
soul surfer is now signing off.
you make me laugh!! congratulations on that .2 seconds! that is .2 more than i could ever dream of doing!! :)
