Day 3

Had a great surf session early this morning and later in the morning with my coach J Luis. The conditions were a little choppy but we had several hours with good shaped waves. J Luis is a 21 year old Costa Rican whose English is quite good. I've begun calling him my spiritual director because he is extremely calm and incredibly observant. He reminds me and my lesson partner, Craig, to relax and don't over think things. Good advice for lots of things. I was gonna paddle out for an afternoon session but the sky clouded over and it started raining. Many surfed in spite of he rain but I chose to relax and rest my weary muscles. Attached is a picture in front of my room.
