Congratulations!!!

The rash thing will get better the more you surf, your body getsused to it. For now wear the rashie as it will help. As for the bruises thats inevitable, I remember hearing some famous surfer once say ''If I come out of the water and I'm not bleeding it wasn't a good session'', If you are going to push yourself this is true to some extent. Keep it up ;-)

actually i did scrape my hand pretty badly, once i was way too close to the shore and i was rubbed along all the sand. fun huh? but yah i guess ill get used to it. down here in south florida theres not much going on wave-wise. its been storming and being a typical miami august.
