Dude, Saturday was so totally righteous. Timber and I caught some huge waves at Cowell Beach while learning how to surf. It so totally rocked. OK, enough of the California surfer dude writing sytle. On Saturday Timber and I went to Santa Cruz to take surfing lessions from the Santa Cruz Surf School. There were a total of 4 of us in the class, and we got our wetsuits and surfboards and walked down to Cowell Beach and learned how to surf. The waves were pretty small but by the time we were done each of us had correctly caught a few waves. We also learned about surfing etiquitte and how to read waves. Our instructor didn't talk all that much but he shared information freely when you asked him questions. Toward the end of our lesson we paddled over to the wharf. While under the wharf a sea lion thought I was interesting and swam around and under me. It didn't touch me but it came within a foot of me. By the time we were done my arms were tired from all the paddling and we walked back to the surf shop to return our gear. Overall it was a fun experience and I will definitely go surfing again. After surfing Timber and I used Yelp via my iPhone to find Vasili's Greek Restaurant which ended up being pretty good.
