Went surfing for the first time

[joosttx]

So, my kids wanted to learn to surf. I looked at the prices for surf camp for a week.... $600 per kid. I opp'ed to buy a wetsuit and a 9ft soft top and learn it myself to teach them. Of course the guy who promised to show me never did. So, I been hitting up all my surfer friends to show me the ropes. Today at 9:32 am I got a text, "wanna surf?" "hell ya". My friend pulls up in a Telsa S and a fresh coffee. I load the board into the car and we drove off over the ridge of Mt Tam to Stinson beach.

I was in heaven. Stinson beach is at the foot of Mt Tam. It was an overcast day and fog was covering the top of Tam making a beautiful back drop. Waves were 2-3 footers. I just enjoyed being out there. I did get up once on a breaking wave and held it for about 3 seconds. Regardless it was the best. A seal came near us to inspect us. We were to only surfers out there. College kids were showing up to lay out and lounge after finals as we left. I saw Boots2000 riding his bike. Experinced "insanity mode" in the Telsa. Picked up my daughter from school on the bike where we rode to her lacrosse practice. Life is fine.

Sounds like a fun day. I was going to ask you how it went? I guess fun-
Did he make the Tesla "dance"?

I learned to surf in Cornwall, England (probably a bit colder than Cali) nearly 20 years ago. I’ll definitely teach my kids in a couple of years as they are both good swimmers. The combination of the rush of getting up on the board along with the exertion of paddling back out through the waves for more makes for a great endorphin release.

I don't think that's what the song is about...

Great surf day for you, but I think the drive over that windy road in the big T car may have been the highlight of the day. I love Stinson Beach.
