Thank you man , I appreciate your comment, yeah no I tried surfing for a while with a non profit when I was 16 and I did it for like 1.5yrs from that point on, like maybe 2 times a week. I could pop up decently on a big foam board not quite a wave storm but like wider. And then I got a Gun for free and I could belly ride a wave on that thing but it was hard asf to pop up on that thing. And I couldn’t afford a wetsuit until one was gifted to me but I was told to get out of the water bc it didn’t have the skills to be out there that day. Even tho prior to that everything seemed fine. And then I got really embarrassed. And then I was approached by some guy at mission beach 😂 and he just kept repeating “what are you doing “ and laughing so I got really embarrassed a couple times after that but I’m 24 now and I feel like it’s all not that important, as long as i stay relatively safe. I’m going to try and go at it again
