Surf Day

Well, yesterday was surf day at the Johnsons. Both Alessandro and Anuschka spent significant energy in trying to boogie board. We splurged and went to a surf shop. We thought this would be best, as all of us are amateurs (actually ignorant) in this sport. We got good advice from the salesman (who promptly told us about Oberamergau), and bought a board.

Unfortunately we had make a stop at Wallmart later in the day to get some other items, and saw a similar board for $20 less! Lesson: always go to Wallmart first?

Anyway, forgetting all that as the day developed into pure fun in surfing. The waves were big, and the kids were ambitious. Both Alessandro and Anuschka just would not give up until they caught some good waves. Fantastic, have a look. (BTW: all of these pictures were taken with a video camera! Canon HF10. Fantastic)
