This was my first attempt at surfing, yikes...it's much harder than I thought it would be, but so much fun. I must have sucked down 15 gallons of salt water and fallen way too many times before this photo was actually snapped. Very humbling experience and I can't wait to do it again, I'm not quitting until I can ride a wave all the way in. I do love a challenge and am always looking for a reason to go back to Hawaii. Nothing like a little ocean water to remind us just how small we really are in the grand scheme of things.
