Surfing was a great challenge, it was decided on the spot almost and as we where on holiday in Cornwall the home to surfing in the UK why not.
We used a company called “Freewave Surf Academy” based at Widemouth Bay.
Robin our instructor was amazing and took a lot of time with me to get me ready to hit the waves nothing was rushed and my confidence just grew and grew.
The life guards on duty “Billy and Richie” where fantastic .
We arrived and got sorted the life guards then drove me down to the water edge and helped me get into the water. Once my body was in the water and past the sea break things where a lot easier and with a little technique using the board to get out into the real waves it was just amazing from that point.
Robin instructed us how to get up on the board for me how to best get onto my knees and then he helped us hit the waves.
I can move my legs so it makes this a bit easier but I have seen guys surf who cant and for them they just lay down and rode the waves, its about being in the sea and enjoying yourself.
I cant wait to try this again and am so glad that I challenged myself to try this now I am just hooked.
