Surfing

I used to spend a lot of time driving to the Sierras to ski and climb. In Fall 2007 my wife announced that I needed a local sport, and bought me a surfboard. I am naturally bad at surfing, and it is good for working on humility. Since then I've surfed mostly in Santa Cruz, but also in San Diego, Mexico, Hawaii, Jamaica, Bali, and Korea.

Here are some photos my wife took when I was learning to surf:
