Surfin' Moey

Did you know I've had a secret desire to be a surfer chick, or 'chook' as they say here?  More like hen!  My youth was spent body surfing on the Maine Coast.  But I'd never 'hung ten'.  A fellow student and her husband took me out on the weekend to Moana - a surfer's paradise.

Unlike skis, you wax the TOP of the board. And yes, a helmet!

Rode waves right up on the sand!

Waiting for the right wave - timing is a skill

With Darryl's help I got up...

and down...

and up with a 'friend'!

Alive and elated! 

Kate (the photogapher) and Darryl - a great couple who gave me a great gift to remember!
