I went bodyboarding yesterday, and had a great time =) I'm getting the hang of walking with my fins, padalling out, and duck diving. Im still riding the wave to the shore and not really going too far out. With time, I'll be able to ride the face of the waves.
im getting more serious about bodyboarding now. for the past couple of times i went to the beach, i just had a body board (no fins) and was just getting used to the motion of the ocean.
today was the day i brought my new fins with me into the water with the board. i found it so difficult to walk in them. then, i had to figure out how to paddle out and in. even with all that i was able to catch two waves, yet the last wave somehow messed me up. i thought i got it, but i somehow lost it and next thing i knew i was off my board and my body was being tossed in the water and hitting the sand. ouch...my lower back still is sore...
