Today Camryn and I tried something new!!!! If you would have asked me at the beginning of this week if I would try this I probably would have laughed and said NO way!!! I am SO glad that I gave it a shot!! In case you haven’t figured it out we had surf lessons!!! Like I literally had someone teach me where to stand on the board, the correct paddling to catch the wave, and the way to stand up once I caught the wave!! If you watch the video you can definitely tell I had not ever tried this before but man I am so dang proud of myself!! Also Camryn literally crushed the whole surfing thing!! It was so fun to try something new with her and have this memory together! (She is the reason I tried this in the first place!) When you are learning to surf there are so many things to think about and some of them come naturally but some you actually have to make your body do. For an overthinker like myself it was a lot to put together which sometimes caused me to take longer to stand up or falling right as I thought I had it. There are so many “lessons” I will take from today but the biggest one is just to do the things....even if it is scary. Even if you think there is no way you could do it. It was so fun and I am not quite sure I will be surfing again before we leave but I will definitely do it again when we come back!!! What is something you have done or want to do that scared you but once you did it you were so happy you did? Also if there is something you are wanting to try but you haven’t taken the leap here is that gentle reminder that YOU CAN DO IT!!! *also I definitely did not realize the amount of work your arms have to do in surfing!!! That paddling is no joke!!! #12/365 #ayearoninstagram
