I spent the last two weeks in Hawaii, and I saw quite a few kick-ass surfer chicks keeping up with the guys. I wanted to be like them; alas, I regularly fall over during yoga, so I'm pretty sure I could never stand up on a surfboard. :)
One of my favorite moments from Step into Liquid is the interview with the 10-year-old who's still afraid of the big waves. So she sticks to the 8-10 footers.
I want to be her when I grow up.
Seriously, send some of your freakish raininess down to Texas and we'll exchange it for our drought-fueling 100+ degree summer days right now. But yeah... this makes me want to hit up Padre this weekend...
I want to go surfing again. Okay, so surfing for me basically entails flopping about in the whitewater with a giant board, but still I want to do that again.
When I went to Australia on a study exchange, my one request was that someone teach me to surf. Their first instruction: "If you're grabbed by a shark, punch it in the nose and it'll let go of your leg."
So now I know how to surf AND how to beat up a shark.

Do they make you run, for VO2 max conditioning?
