Surfs up!

Today a group of us headed to Jumeriah Beach to go paddle boarding. I was so excited as I have always wanted to try it. When we got there we were told that the water was a little roungh and that we should try surfing instead. 
When you look at the ocean it looks calm but as soon as you head out in it, its a completely different story! The water here is soooo salty that it was stinging my whole body. Not only that but it took us about an hour to catch a wave because we kept getting dunked and dragged back to the beach. 
Even though I failed to stand up I still had so much fun! The place where we hired the boards from was full of Australians, so that was kind of nice. Felt like I was back at home. 
Definitely keen to head back there on my next day off and try to stand up this time.
