Surf Day
Monday night
We were supposed to have a movie night but since it IS the rainy season there was a big storm so we decided to cancel for the night and just chill at our homestays. We needed a good night's rest before surfing!!
Tuesday
Surfing! We even got to have a little lazier of a morning since we didn't have to be at the school till 9. Most of us went to the beach for a bit to get used to the water ;) We hiked down the beach to Pato's Surf School, got our rash guards and then split into 2 groups for our land lesson. Once we all learned how to surf on land, it was time to head to the water. We had to walk a LONG way with our boards - it was a workout!!! We surfed in groups of 4 working from just having to try to stand when our teacher told us to choosing our own wave, turning the board, getting on, paddling, and deciding when to stand all on our own. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures from that because of our long walk (we had to leave our things behind) but there was a guy taking photos of us. We can buy them from him if we like, so maybe some of the students will do that.
We surfed for about an hour then hiked back to the surf school. After rinsing off, we went to find food and then change for classes. Most went exploring a bit after classes before heading back to their families for supper. We have no activity tonight and this chaperone is going to bed early after a long day of sun, surf, and study!
¡Pura vida! ¡Hasta luego!
P.S. Look who else wanted to take classes...
