Hang 10, Take 5

We got up early to scope out the surf and Ryan gave us the go ahead to attempt surfing. He compared surfing for the 1st time to having never held a golf club and trying to play Pebble Beach. The Pacific Ocean did with us whatever it wanted to do.

We gave it our best, but after about an hour in the water, neither of us could stand up on a wave. At least we got to see first-hand how it should look every time Ryan caught a wave.

Afterwards, Ryan treated us to lunch and sent us on our way with directions and tips on what to do in L.A. Thank you Ryan and Mary for your hospitality, it was a blast.

Now we find ourselves bumming around Pepperdine University campus, en route to Venice Beach and Los Angeles. Pepperdine is located just off the coast up on a hill with an amazing view of the ocean and beaches.

Soreness is beginning to set in.
