RE: Back On Track (Yes!): Riding The September Swell And Having A Blast With My Surf Buddies 🏄 [new surf video and crazy photography inside]

in #vlog7 years ago

Great video and pictures! Looks like so much fun :) I have been surfing a few times but most of the time I end up under the waves instead of on the waves. I have not yet tried surfing here in California but I look forward to doing it! Here you can often see dolphins and seals when surfing. But there are also some sharks around and that scares me... your video really motivated me to go surf though 😊

Haha yeah well diving is part of surfing, too :-) During every session I drink a L'OT of salty water.
Depending on the spot, sharks can be an issue. We don't have any big / dangerous ones here still. That may change with the climate change (increasing water temperature), but for the moment we're safe.
I'm happy I could motivate you to reconsider the surfing idea :-)
Have a great Monday!

Haha yes, I remember swallowing a lot of salty water too! I would definitely surf a lot more if it wasn't for the sharks. It's a bit silly though since there is a higher chance of getting struck by lightning than attacked by a shark. But I have a really strong imagination so I'm sure I will see sharks everywhere :D
