This past Saturday was the first day it really felt like summer on Nantucket. After work, Steve loaded up the boards and off we went to Fisherman’s beach so that I could tackle #28 on my list of 30 things to do before I’m 30 : really learn to surf on my own.
Off I go!
Unfortunately, the waves weren’t really that great and so I only practiced wiping out. I should probably read Neil’s surf report on the Nantucket blACKbook before I go next! On the plus side, it felt so refreshing to be in the water again. (Note: you definitely still need to wear a wetsuit.)
I’ll try again next time… I welcome any and all tips from the experts out there.
Right at the top of the stairs to the beach there is a little box called, “The Little Free Library” where beach goers can “take a book and return a book”. Even though I’ve lived on Nantucket for 7 years, the charm of this island can still catch me by surprise.
Way to give it a go, Emily! You’ll get it! xoxo
Nice work Emily!! Give us a shout next time you go we have some good boards to learn on…perhaps one that isn’t quite as heavy, I think you need a captain’s licences to operate the board in that picture !
Emily, I must say the mailbox for books is the best ever. We in the Northwest could learn a thing or two. I was wondering getting back to surfing. How much do the boards weigh ??? Just sayin——–looks like they weigh three times your weight.:)
