Another Sweet Surf Trip

This time I made sure to get another picture of surfing. Don't you love how I just seem to pose with the board? You wouldn't believe it, but it's getting cold on this little island. Well I'm actually having to wear two wet suits. I found out very soon though that the outer, warmer layer actually had a broken zipper. Oops! So the whole time I had water flushing through my suite. I would paddle as hard as I could to catch a wave, but the arms would fill with water and slow me down. I felt like a blimp! When I stepped out of the ocean, it was like I deflated- the water rushed out my pant leg and I instantly got smaller. Hmm... well I still love it!

These were my surf buddies for the day, Phillip from Germany, and Brandon from...   Hawaii. 

  This is Phil, he's a great guy! Taught me a thing or two about Germans... they are always prepared... This guy has Everything!! Would cook a gourmet meal on a campfire in the middle of nowhere! And I also learned to never be late with Germans. They will leave you. Not a minute late. No joke!  ( I don't know why this is underlined).

This is Brandon, he's another great guy! Spent some time in Hawaii surfing, and is totally into wildlife conservation. Particularly big cats like tigers and leopards. He's in the vet program, and hopes to own a large cat reserve in the future.

 
Did I mention it was cold?
