Surf's Up Dude, Oceanside, California

Yo, hello, hi what's up, and all that jazz,

Sorry we haven't gotten this posted, we just haven't had internet since Sunday!! Anyway, Sunday Gabrielle and I went surfin' on the Pacific Coast.  We took a two hour surf lesson in which we learned safety and basic surfing skills. There were only three of us in the class, Me, Gabrielle and Blake, who has a pretty cool job.  We had a 15 minute on land basic surfing course, then we  the waves.  I got up right away, but Gabrielle had a bit harder time.  Both of us finally made it up, but it was hard work! After 1 1/2 hours of fighting the surf, we were winded, cold and tired.  The instructor, Louie, called it a day and we took off our wet suits, gave back the boards and headed back to the RV. It was in short, AWESOME!! Here are some pictures mom took.

Josh, Gabrielle and our instructor, Louie. 
Practice, practice, practice!


Paddling!

Josh surfin!!
