Getting the basics on land.<\/p>\n

\"unknown16.jpg\"
\nYoga?<\/p>\n

\nOur fearless leader, Ambrose.<\/p>\n

\"unknown18.jpg\"
\nGotta be honest, I like my arms in this picture.<\/p>\n

\"unknown19.jpg\"
\nApparently I was the only one who thought to use the moment to pose as a super hero.<\/p>\n

\"unknown20.jpg\"
\nYou may notice that the first try out was less than successful, but I was determined.<\/p>\n

\"unknown21.jpg\"
\nNo worries, I was fine.<\/p>\n

\"unknown22.jpg\"
\nI’m not a natural but it was so much fun.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"unknown23.jpg\"
\nAfter a wipe out, taking a moment to consider my options.<\/p>\n

\nA great shot of our little class moving further down the beach. \u00c2\u00a0In the distance is cave rock with the Sumner mast on top.<\/p>\n

\"unknown25.jpg\"
\nThis is my friend Sheena, also from the UofS College of Law, who accompanied me on our foolhardy mission to learn to surf. \u00c2\u00a0They guarantee you will stand your first lesson. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"unknown26.jpg\"
\nIt’s at this point that the wave picks you up and you are to LEAP to your feet. \u00c2\u00a0It is such a neat feeling. \u00c2\u00a0My leaping, I might add, is not what it used to be.<\/p>\n

\nAaron (the owner) telling me where it all went wrong and me having an “a-ha” moment.<\/p>\n

\"unknown28.jpg\"
\nIt was really just too much fun.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"unknown29.jpg\"
\nOur special ed surfing class for those of us having issues with standing. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"unknown30.jpg\"
\nPracticing our moves.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"unknown31.jpg\"
\nClearly the special ed surfing class had little impact on my performance.<\/p>\n

\"unknown32.jpg\"
\nBut WAIT! \u00c2\u00a0SUCCESS!<\/p>\n

\"dsc-4387.jpg\"
\nWhat goes up must come down.<\/p>\n

\"dsc-4424.jpg\"
\nSUCCESS!<\/p>\n

\"dsc-4427.jpg\"
\nDoesn’t matter that my standing time would have to be measured in nano-seconds. I stood and that was what was important.<\/p>\n

\"dsc-4439.jpg\"<\/p>\n

\"dsc-4454.jpg\"
\nWe’ve very cool you know.<\/p>\n

\nA little advertising.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
