Surfing Waves

i just came back from the weekend at st augustine and rented a board at anastasia park. and damnn i got pounded lol for my first time out , i stood up 3 times which i am so proud of lol a friend let me borrow her rashguard but i left it in the car and smarty me thought it would be ok. but yeah after an hour, i was soo bruised up i couldnt even lay on the board anymore . so yah im bruised, cut, sore but i loveedd it so much. i was out for about 5 hours and despite my injuries i kept going. i cant wait to go out again! any tips on how to relieve that stomach rash? lol

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 ;-)

Ozzie.

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.
