First time surfing , fantastic.

Tired after 2 hours of Surfing. 

Our instructor , Rickco , showing us how to do it
Surfing in Bali was a wonderful experience. Unfortunately , it was only a 2-hour session of first-time experience of standing on the Surf board on the sea. My cousin and I took up a beginner's lesson on Surfing at Odessey's Surf School with our instructor Rickco. First he showed us how to paddle and then the proper step-by-step way of stand up onto the board. We practiced on the beach and it was time to go into the sea! My first few tries were awful , I fell , drank sea water and huge waves and currents pushing against you. I still remembered what Rickco told me ," You jumped on the board , you shouldn't jump on the board!" . From then on I make sure I do the right thing and yeah , I managed to stand up onto the board for the first time ( I think for 3 seconds ). It was a sensational feeling , the sea breeze blowing against your face , heard the waves behind you and the sound of the board gliding on the surface of the water was amazing. The tiring part of surfing is going back to my takeoff spot. I had to withstand huge waves crashing against me! And some of the sea water even went into my eyes , causing my eyes to be red and uncomfortable. Nevertheless , I still love my first experience of surfing. If I had a chance to further improve and practice surfing , I love to take that chance. :)
Takeoff Spot
Yup , just me falling 


Practice makes perfect.
