Day 18 Thurs 9/13
Woke up, grabbed breakfast, and took the shuttle down to Canggu beach for the first day of surfing. We shared the shuttle with our group, who all spoke German, two girls and a couple. When we got to the beach, we each got our own coach, who taught us the basics on the sand before we got into the water. We used the soft boards because they are stickier in the water and better for first timers. He showed us how to paddle towards the back of the board, but stay in the center to keep it stable, to turn around, to sit on the board, and eventually we were practicing standing. We were able to stand a little bit and catch a few small waves. My biggest struggle is not moving my feet forward enough when I go from laying down to standing and keeping low. Afterwards we took the shuttle back, already hungry for lunch. We spent the afternoon by the pool, then push biked down to Echo beach to get a juice. Dee, from Ireland joined us there. Dinner was at 7 and we were plenty hungry by then. We had some bintangs and went to a bar after dinner with Dee, three guys from Austria, and Neil from England. It was fun. We took the mopeds there and I think Maggie was a little more scared then me on that one. They were a little more scary than I was expecting, especially with no helmets
