So I'm covered in bruises and sometimes I think the board is out to kill me, but it is so much fun! At least now I can stand up on the board. Every lesson the instructors have given me a bigger board (bigger is easier) because I've been struggling so now I have the biggest one, it's a freaking Montaner. Can barely carry the thing. But still, so much fun! Now I only have two more lessons, so need to get paddling and catch waves on my own.
