say no? The problem was that I had been sick since Cusco and just
didn't have the energy to have a decent crack at it. Charlie did
alright managing to stand up and go all the way to the beach on day 2.
I spent day 1 lying on the board simply unable to find the energy to
push myself up. Day 2 was a little better for me as I actually had some
energy and was able to have a go at it.
Anyway after 2 days Charlie decided that we were ready for a trip up
the coast to what is apparently the longest left point break in the
world
Huts in the desert coast
. Great idea. I was feeling pretty sick by this time and the guywho took us up there lead us off the rocks to try and surf the thing
straight away. What a genius. I haven't even managed to stand up on the
board yet and he's throwing us in the deep end. I was feeling pretty
shattered at that point, there was a mean current and I was out of
energy so I made a beeline for the beach. Straight across the rocks and
cut my feet to shreds. What's more we had the biggest boards in the
world since we were learning and had quite a hike to get there. And the
normal fit surfer dudes were complainging about how heavy their tiny
wee boards were.
I think I'll have another crack at the surfing thing when I feel
healthy.
