Tuesday

Take pride in the power of your arms as you beat two 12-year-olds past the breakers.
Paddling is a huge part of surfing. It’s your arms that must take you out to a spot where you can catch waves. Doug says there are times when you just can’t get out. The vast ocean denies you access. The key is to find your place on the board (not too far forward, not too far back) and fully extend your arms as you paddle. This is no time to doggie paddle.

Day two brings with it lingering effects of day one. We all feel a little sore in our ribs (from throwing ourselves up on the boards over and over again), and my arms and legs are a little achy. But I realize I’m much stronger than I thought (thanks to regular yoga and push-ups).
