I finally had a chance to get back in the water
on Saturday! I went to my local spot and spent
about 3 hours in the surf. The waves were choppy
and it was sort of hard to catch anything. I managed
a few rides, but only 3 that were notable.

One thing nice was, I saw this guy who had
been in the water on the day that I caught my first
real wave! He remembered me and said hello. I was
very happy to have a friendly pal in the water after my
last experience. And the best part was.... the 3 rides I
caught were on pretty big waves (for a beginner). So,
I got some props for improvement from my pal. Sweet!

I still suck... but it's encouraging to know that
someone else besides me can see a little improvement.
