Had 2 different instructors at sennan cove Cornwall, both we excelleant And both taught me that journey is as much fun. Managed to stand for 5 seconds first time after and hour and half of strong winds and 15 foot swells. Awesome feeling to stand. The second lessons actually stood for 8 seconds with similar conditions. The brief joy of standing has me hooked. Yep, I had my first 2 lessons this week at the beginig of nov09 at the age of 37.

Oh, and I am female too. On my second lesson my fantastic instructor from San Clemente just sat in the water with me on our boards and appreciated the ocean and beauty. It made me so comfortable and at ease in the ocean. I am still a little scared because I had a bad experience and almost drowned years earlier but his patients and commitment made it all the better and I am indeed having fun. I think I'll stick with surfing the rest of my life. I think a great instructor or friend to surf with and a positive attitude is paramount. Thanks for your beautiful words. Woushi Hello,
