Surf's Up!
Well ladies and gents...we Quiksilver officially signed us as their new surfers...we even have a certificate to prove it. Basically, we ripped it up! So, too start our day....we officially are on Balinese time and over the jet lag. Thank you hindu gods! We slept loads last night, so much we ached this morning. We woke up early, ate breakfast and took off to the beach by 0800...only a 5 minute walk down the good old 'gang' (alley) and we were there! Definately a shock from the beaches we are used to...garbage everywhere...a local said it ws from a storm the previous and came from some river...hope that's true because it was gross! We had a quick lunch on the beach where Brittany got shafted and got 6 ravioli and Briana, on the other hand, got a whole medium pizza to herself...with my stern voice and intervention, Brittany didn't go hungry Tammy! From there, we tanned for another hour before...............SURFING!! We paid $39 for 2.5 hr lesson from the Quiksilver boarding school with 2 amazing teachers....nope...these ones weren't keepers! They made surfing look too easy. Briana was the first one to catch a wave on her first try, Brit swore at the board and Taya ate alot of salt water and sand on their first attempt. Wasn't long after, Brit pretty much rocked the waves. Those Dalziels owned that ocean!!! Believe it not...I , Taya Mark, actually surfed. The first wave i caught...I danced....according to my instructors...in reality, fighting for my life while the girls cheered!!! No biggity! All in all, today was the best day and after all of us being able to stand on the board and ride the wave....we are all looking to make an investment purchase for surf boards. Yup, this is happening! Tomorrow, we are going on a day tour of the island to temples and to this beach to watch the sunset while we eat supper...hopefully spot some surfer's for dessert...jaykay, jaykay! So, talk soon....take care...thank you SO much for all the posts...love ya long time!!! P.s. Taya actually surfed ( this is Taya...i'm shocked!!! Haha)

ReplyDeleteWOW!!! That is soooo cool! K, one of you have to teach me now. Glad to hear you guys are having fun. Just incase some are wondering the girls are 14 hours ahead of us. So... I am writing this as 9:20am on September 15th and it is 1:20am on September 16th for them. I think I have that right. It's close anyways :) Hope you took pictures/video of your first time surfing!

Hey Guys:
ReplyDeleteSounds like a blast. Not surprised to hear the Dalziel girls owned the ocean - Just like their Aunt Connie :) hahahaha.
Nothing too exciting going on here. Uncle Art and I just working (not surfing). Chantel, Aaron and Carter are all good. Dave is at Depot this week - time to re-qualify for everything. He ran the pare today but I havent heard how it went. I imagine he was sucking dust off the gym floor. Anyways, thats it for now.
Love this Blog.
