The surfing in Santa Theresa is amazing but unforgiving. I spent the first two days getting tossed and tumbled by the waves. I lost a contact, got a major jelly sting across both eyes, and generally got really beat up.
By the third day Frase and I were starting to have fun. Jonathan and Caralee had arrived a week earlier and were already showing off their turns so we were pretty excited to be getting some turns of our own. We even bought our own surfboards ... I'll post a pic soon, I promise! We brought the surfboards back to the West Coast ... all we need now are wetsuits!! Surfing is good cross-training for mountain biking, right?

All I know is that my upper body was exhausted after about 20 minutes of trying to paddle out through the waves to catch a wave .. by the end of the time in CR i was feeling much more comfortable in the water. Surfing is hard work - the bigger the waves, the harder it is to paddle out.
