Dave and Deb’s Excellent Surf Adventure Part 2

Have you ever loved doing something that you are just not very good at? That is Dave and I when it comes to surfing. Man, we love it, but we just aren’t naturals at it.When we came back to Hikkaduwa Beach on Sri Lanka’s south western coast, we decided to get down to business and try to see if we could actually get the hang of riding the surf. Milan was our instructor and he was fantastic. showed us how to look for the right wave, how to turn upside down on our surfboard to go under a wave and how to feel the right moment to stand and ride the crest of the wave as opposed to white water. He even showed us how to start turning on the wave so that we could actually ride it one day soon.
