We’ve surfed a few times this year, but only with an instructor during a lesson. We decided that we needed some practice outside of a lesson, so we rented surfboards from a shop and took them out to nearby beaches to get some reps in! The place that we rented from usually does 24hr rentals, but they told us that since they are closed on Sundays we could rent on Saturday, keep them through Sunday, and return them on Monday. We had them for almost twice the length than we really would’ve expected!
The first beach we checked out had huge waves and it felt impossible to get up. It was hard enough to stay afloat without the added challenge of trying to catch a wave. I had a blast though. We drove to a different beach the next day and spent 4 hours on the much calmer water getting some much-needed practice in. It was so fun and I think we all improved a lot.
Surfing the second day at Arrifana:
Great pictures in each of the boys with their surfboards! So fun to read about it! Blessings on you each!
