Another morning and time to go surf! My body is soo sore today though, even though I’ve been stretching a lot. It was great when I woke up and my 3 room-mate friends were getting out of bed. We have bunk beds so the two girls on top had some trouble getting down and it wasn’t until I tried to move that I understood what the fuzz was about.. 😉

 Surfing a board twice my size and love it! (:

Today was great again! I don’t know if I’ve told you guys that before this trip I kind of didn’t know how to surf. The coaches here really help out a lot! Yesterday I surfed mostly the foamy parts of the waves, after they’ve already broken to learn how to get up but today I started surfing green waves (before they turn white). I have some use for my wakeboarding muscles since it’s a lot of work and sometimes you really feel like you’re pursuing a war with the ocean. Anyways, my coach Taha thought it was time for me to learn how to turn and lucky for me he decided to surf when I was out there so I got some special coaching one to one. It was hard though cause he kept telling me “Paddle out!” and “This wave, paddle paddle!!” until I had no strength left but I caught some great one’s and learned to turn my board. I love this place! (:

Some of my friends surfed in the evening today too but the waves had died town so I’m saving my strength for tomorrow. 

Hung out with a camel on the beach
He wanted to eat me… 

Today is a Moroccan holiday where they slaughter goats and dress up in their skin. With that outfit they run through the city and chase the kids and the surfer tourists. I had a lot of fun watching my friends run away from them. This one simply stood staring at me and I snapped a picture. Then he started throwing his goat-leg around in the air.  It was pretty crazy haha

About to go to sleep now after a great dinner and some beers on the balcony with great company. Since my brother soon will be a massage therapist and he has complained a lot on that I never stretch I took time for a loong whole body stretch today after the evening sesh. I think my body will thank me for that tomorrow, although I fear the worst and prob. wont even get out of bed without help. So worth it though!

Another type of surfing from this summer..

Good night!  ♥

 We woke up and had breakfast around 9. Everyone from Lund Extremsportsförening got here last night so now we are almost 50 people living at the camp! So much fun cause everyone is so nice and most people dont really know each other but we just hang out anyways. After breakfast we went for a 2 hour surf lesson with a lot of basics and the coaches are great too. Before I knew it people were saying that it was time for lunch. We had been surfing for 4 hours straight, so I had the best Pizza of my life and then we went back out in the water until the sun set. Can’t even describe how great this day has been, I’ve just had  a big smile on my face the entire time!

Woke up this morning after another night out with Trudi. What was supposed to be “One beer with her classmates” turned out to be a LOT of beers and dancing until the bar closed. Anyways, got up and packed the rest of my stuff before getting a ride from my dad to the air-port. Got on the plane without really knowing what was going to happen once I got to Agadir, Morocco since I hadn’t spoken to the guys from the travel agency in a while. But it worked out great, got picked up with some other surfer peeps from Norway and Sweden and we went to the camp which seems great. The mosque outside my window just called out for another praying time and one of the guides told me that the first one starts at 5 am so should be great! Although I’m so tired now that I think I could sleep through anything.  We are waiting for the guys and dudettes from Lunds Extremportssällskap to get here and then we’re getting briefed on what the deal is for the next couple of days. And we’re getting food! (I feel like my stomach has disappeared and been replaced  by Sherikaan from the jungle book)

Leaving for Marocko in 15 hours! So I started packing now with “Lilla Al-Fadji” on my radio. Don’t really know what to bring except for bikini’s and my tooth brush but guess I’ll figure it out once I get there! Stoke!!

When I woke up this morning and checked my e-mail I got a big knot in my stomach and some things seem to not be going my way right now. I can’t tell you exactly why  but I got really disappointed. Seems like I’ve been taking some things for granted and not really considered that they would change but they did. Anyways, now I’m more determined than ever to get better at wakeboarding.

Been paying bills for my car today. Got this toll-fee from when Trudi and I were in Norway for Surf City, a parking ticket from when I was in Denmark and my membership fee to the Triple A. And of course my loan back to my dad for Biebs so now my car is all mine! ♥ I aint got no Jon-Olson-Car but he runs great and is very comfortable to sleep in. I love my Biebs… (:
