Went for my first surf* in almost a year this morning and really enjoyed myself - especially the first wave I caught.Admittedly it was white water but I still felt pleased when I got to my feet reasonably quickly and smoothly and then was nicely balanced and managed to get some sideways movement.
Was even more pleased when about 3/4 later Si said he had seen me catch the wave and complimented me on some movement across the wave...
(*= still embarrassed to say I 'surf' and whilst it is true I have had a surf board for probably 3 years and up to until the beginning of this year I would go in sometimes Saturday and Sunday - it is also true to say I have not mastered any of the basics. Which I would stress is no fault of my Yoda, Si, rather an inability of the pupil. It is just as I have not been tasked with blowing up the Death Star; otherwise there would have been no need for 'Empire Strikes Back'...)
