    5. Surf lesson 3

    July 18, 2023 in Indonesia ⋅ 🌬 28 °C

    We had a lunchtime start for surfing today. So headed to a local cafe for Croissants and smoothies for breakfast. We took the short moped ride to the surf school and got set up. One of the tutors has noticed that Grace although being right handed is actually Goofy rider, meaning she surfs with her right leg forward instead of her left. This meant that Grace needed to go back and retrain herself to stand up the other way, this will benefit Grace long term as she will be in a much stronger position and will make the board easier to control in the future. James carried on trying to master turning on the waves and catching green waves and managed to execute it on some of the smaller ones.
    After wards we tried to rent surfboards but were told by surf school that it's very dangerous for us to do so as the tide is so low. So instead we headed to Michael Bar as Michael himself is awesome and it was a nice place to sit on the beachfront and have a coconut and beer. We watched the surfers getting mauled by the waves and had some dinner early as tomorrow morning we have to be back at the surf school for 5.30am. It's going to bloody kill us 😂😂
    Hopefully we will have some surfing pictures to share with you soon as our instructor takes them every session to discuss our board positions, we are going to wait till we have finished the lessons and pick the best ones as you have to pay per shot. 9
