Out of practice surfer relearning!
Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2021 2:07 pmHi all! I am a 33 year old welsh girl who surfed a lot in my teenage days, then a little in my early 20s, but due to living abroad (where there is no surf) I haven't really gotten on a board properly in many years. Last time I did I was on a trip to South Africa and hired a board and nearly died as I underestimated the power of the waves and how rusty I had gotten!
I am about to do a season in the UK, probably around 6 months to work a bunch of hours and save to get back abroad where I have had to leave my partner and son. To distract myself from moping about, wishing I was back over there with them, I have decided to bring an old dream alive... live in a van and surf a lot! So I am about to buy a van and a board and spend the next 6 months just working and surfing. I actually used to be on this forum a lot when I was like 16 I think but no idea what my login details were
Anyway, will be looking for plenty of advice and surf banter over the next few months, so glad to be back! Gunna head over to the surfboard buying advice topic now..
