Camille Learns How to Surf... Sorta

June, 2010 : I got a surfboard off Craigslist. But not just any surfboard, a SnappleBoard. Yeah. Real deal right here. Like it's a surfboard, with the snapple logo on it n shit. Basically the coolest thing ever. So my mom and her boyfriend at the time take my friend Kayla and I to Oceanside so we can figure out this surfing thing.. Which didn't exactly go as planned.

Also June, 2010 in the morning :
10:00 : We get to the beach pretty early in the day, go look around at the surf shops, and get psyched up about going surfing.

10:45 : Walk down to the beach, stop to give the squirrel a flower. True story.

There's your proof for anyone thinking I'm a liar and a scoundrel.

11:00 : Wax up the surfboard, strip down to swimsuits.

11:30 : Sexy lifeguard takes next shift on the area of beach we're on. Awww Yeahhhh ;D

11:35 : Get in water. It's freezing balls. Because freezing balls is a unit of measuring temperature. If the freezing of water is when it is freezing 50 balls, then it was definitely freezing at least 40 balls in that water.

11:45 : I manage to ride in on a wae while laying flat on my stomach. It's a start. Kayla is nearby on the bodyboard.

11:55 : Kayla's turn, I go into the shallow water to get my bodyboarding on. Ride on a wave, it ends about 40 yards out from the shore, so I keep paddling in. Which was a pathetic attempt really since the water was pulling me back as fast as I was paddling forward.

11:58 : Still trying to get to the shore which is still a good 35 yards out of my reach. Sexy lifeguard comes to my rescue.

12:05 : Get back to where Kayla is at.
Me: "So guess who I was just talking to.."
Kayla: "Who??"
Me: "That hot lifeguard."
Kayla: "No way! What did he say??"
Me: "That is was okay to stand up and stop swimming because I was in shallow water."

1/4/2012 : Kayla still laughs at me.
