Surfing in January . . . I could get used to this

After my interviews I thought I would treat  myself to a little day at the beach.  Corbin was kind enough to take me surfing at La Jolla and it was fabulous.  There was a high surf advisory, and the waves were between 3-5 feet.  Doesn't sound big, but man, when you're floating there and it is bearing down on you - a 5 ft. wave looks terrifyingly enormous.  Especially when you don't know what you're doing.  I only fell a couple times, and only got really hammered once.  I had better luck riding some of the closer in whitewater or late breaking waves.  We went on a romantic walk down the beach to see some tidepools, but the tide was in too high.  All in all - a great way to spend a January day.
