We got chewed out by the life guards and they were not like the girls on baywatch

So I'm being very bad about updating all of a sudden -- it's the busy thing again


I just read sunshine17's entry on surfing


It reminded me of when the other one and I were learning to surf


We were out on the waves mainly sitting --trying to look cool without actually surfing -- but we were doing OK and had actually ridden a few in without falling off the boards.


Well at one point when the beach is packed with people I'm sitting there on my board and not paying attention to anything really


All of a sudden I'm yanked under the water something has my ankle


I barely get a breath before I'm under and trying to pull my leg away from whatever has me


My mind is all SHARK OH PHUCK


I think that I'm gone


Then I'm free so I get to the surface and climb on the board and paddle toward shore


Boom


I'm under again


I'm really freakin out now I'm kicking and punching under the water at nothing


I get to the surface again and this time I pull my legs up on the board and paddle with just my arms


The other one comes up and is choking and laughing


He grabbed the leash and pulled me under both times


He thought it was funny until we both noticed the life guards were on the shore yelling to see if we were alright -- because I guess one of them saw me go under both times rather violently and thought what I thought -- shark bait -- we got chewed out by the life guards and they were not like the girls on Baywatch -- they were both guys and we didn't care much for them pointing and telling us that we weren't being very cool -- we went back out and surfed for a while longer then left the beach



Well I laugh about it now but at the time I wanted to beat the other one silly -- I'll have to see if he remembers that one


I didn't do anything over labor day and couldn't even have a beer because I'm still on an anti-biotic from when I was sick -- funny how they don't work when you drink


oh dog is fine he is sleeping now but I'm sure he sends his best too
