Joe, Matt and I went to cocoa beach today. It was my first time on my new surfboard (see previous blog post)

First, the good news: the board is great. It's so much faster than my old board, and it's much easier to catch smaller waves.

Now the bad news: The board is already damaged. :cry: Matt was trying to learn to surf on my dad's old board. he came up right next to me , and a rather large wave came and flipped him over, launching the board into the air. it landed right on top of my board with one of the fins sticking right into the side. There's now a small hole in the side of my brand new $300 surfboard. Luckily, Joe had the rather brilliant idea of filling the hole with surf wax. It seems to have worked just fine. no water seems to have made it's way into the board, so I guess it's no big deal.

On the way home, Joe got a text message from Rhonda saying "say hi to Rye for me." :lol: even when she's at summer school, the long running joke about Rhonda cheating on Joe with me goes on! :P

I have a whole week off work, so we'll probably be going again soon :)
