Surfing day #3

Last week may have not been the most successful week on the water. But I have learned numerous of interesting facts over the last week. To start off with i was on Youtube looking at different surfing videos. First i watched a series of videos that teach you how to surf step by step. Also i some how stumbled upon this video where a professional surfer rides a 75 foot wave! It almost looked as if a wall of water arose from the bottom of the ocean. The surfer looked like a little spec in the wave. The biggest wave ever recorded was 1740ft  in Lituya Bay off the coast of Alaska. Another fun fact is the longest wave surfed was in the amazon river the surfer surfed for 37 minutes. Saturday of this week looks promising i hope i will be able to go out and surf this week!
