I hit the surf the other day to test run my new bathers on a boogie board. Yes, you read it right - boogie boarding! It's not just for skinny teenagers you know.
As a skinny teenager (those were the days), I was always in the surf or at least sun-baking on the beach and it feels great to be back in the salt water and walking on the beach sand-blasting the hard skin off the bottom of my feet. Now that's something I didn't think of when I was a skinny teenager.
Anyway, back to my boogie-boarding exploits. It was fantastic! Once I was on the board, riding the wave into the shore with the white water frothing around my ears the years disappeared away and I was 16 again in my sexy little white, crocheted bikini. BANG! the years very quickly came back when I hit the shore. How do you gracefully get up to walk back out to catch another wave! I'm sure I used to just pop up but I found myself on all fours heaving myself up like a big sack of potatos.
