Andy learning to surf

It was already really hot at 8am as we walked along the beach to the tent where Wavesense (the surf lesson people) are based. As mentioned earlier, due to a little mistake on my part, Andy had a few minutes to wait before his lesson so we tested the waters (quite literally) and went for a play in the waves. Andy’s surf instructor turned up – on time, and off they went doing the moves on the beach. The waves didn’t look really bad but believe me they had some power in them. Kate and I were like rag dolls getting tossed around in the surf, on more than one occasion I thought I’d never see the sky again as my head hit the sandy floor and I surfaced gasping for air! It was really good fun but after more than one near death experience, and not being a cat, I was ready for a bit of sunbathing. Luckily, we were able to steal some factor 30 sun cream from the surf tent as Andy was out learning to surf and we had a nice relaxing lay in the sun.
