Surfing Anniversary...

[Big H]

July 6th marks the day one year ago that I took a group lesson on Kuta beach for the first surf experience of my life. I remember that day wanting to paddle to the outside and not having enough strength or energy to do so. Also got clocked by whitewash time be again....I had no idea how to avoid that. Waves in retrospect were probably about 2 ft with shoulder high faces....looked like mountains at the time. What a difference a year makes. It was a dream to ride those waves a year ago. I have to readjust now and set loftier targets....still have one which is to be able to hold my own in any lineup in Bali on average to good days....not looking to be a star but want to be able to lay claim to my fair share of waves and take them competently when given the chance.

Cheers and here's to another year!
