A new found respect for surfers.


This past weekend I decided to go down to Orange County and hangout with friends down there. Some of us decided to go surfing on my last day there. It still amazes me that I lived down there for 2 years but this was the first time I decided to give surfing a try. I knew that it would be hard but I thought I would be able to do it.
Unfortunately, the closest I got was riding on my knees. Every time I stood up, I wiped out. But here are a few warnings for those first time surfers.
1. You will drink an incredible amount of saltwater, to the point that you want to throw up.
2. Water will just randomly shoot out of your nose for the rest of the day. (pretty sick)
3. You will be sore in places that you didnt think were possible.


Other than that, it was a blast.

By "hung out with some friends" I hope you didn't mean me...because you left before you got to hang with me.
whatever.

Dude, the first time I went surfing was with Snyder. We could barely lift our arms afterward. But it was amazing. Welcome to manhood...

I don't recall any hanging out time.

This was AFTER you called and made a big deal about having said hangtime.

I hate you.

Not really.
