I have issues. (I know, nothing new to most of you…)
Really, though. Ever since I went surfing in the sport’s birthplace of Hawaii a few years ago, convincing myself to get back on a board in other spots has been quite…um, tough. It isn’t just that the waves were gentler and broke further out than any other place I’ve been — both which are things a beginner like me appreciates — but it basically boils down to the water temperature (SO nice in HI). I hate being cold. And trying to paddle with cold hands…brrr! (And yes, the water in Southern California does get cold)
That’s why even when I went to a few beautiful beaches in Sydney — even the popular surf spot, Bondi Beach — I didn’t rent a board. Even with a wetsuit, the prospect of getting into water when I’ve just pulled out a winter coat and gone shopping for a new sweater…just not enticing.
But, really, come on. It’s not that cold. I must stop being a wuss. Someone PLEASE convince me to get on a wave here.
JAYNA! come on! seriously…you’re in Australia…not SoCal…get in the water. enjoy your “vacation” and get on the board. You will regret it if you don’t!
Go on girl…SURF!
I know…I was kind of expecting to hear from you after that post! Hehehe…
I totally feel for you. I HATE being cold. I actually left “Superbad” yesterday in Texas because the theater was so cold. I also got my money back…that’s how pissed I was. It is the most uncomfortable feeling. Love ya!!
