Yep, you guessed it, this morning was time for us to hit the waves. After an early morning call from the surf shop, I was able to get a deal for Heather to be able to have a lesson with me in the morning. At 9 am, Ben was out teaching us how to stand, use momentum, and fall. And fall Heather did at first, but she got the hang of it by the end. I popped up on my first wave and spent the rest of the time trying to surf bigger waves (3-4 foot). It is amazing that by moving a couple of inches forward on the board creates a lot of board momentum (speed). The waves taught me some physics lessons. After a couple of hours, Heather and I headed in, tired and banged up. Who knew surfing was such a workout?
After rinsing off at the surf shop and a CD of pictures, we headed out for a much needed chili cheese dog, beer, and root beer float. Some shopping by the banyan tree and a couple of hours by the pool, we are ready for some tacos and sleep before heading out for the Haleakala summit and the bike ride down tomorrow morning. Heather is praying that we make it down for a day 9 post! Stay tuned...
