A couple weeks ago we had some friends in town.  We spent the day down in Doheny because they have good beginner waves for people learning how to surf.  Tanner is such a great teacher!  This was our second surfing attempt.  The first time Tanner and I went out was about a month ago here in Newport.  My arms were seriously dead after paddling through a couple waves and Tanner ended up towing me out after that.  I just held on to his leash that was attached to his ankle and he would paddle for the both of us. :) What a great husband right?  Newport wasn't very lucky for me, I got up for about 2 seconds and quickly fell of my board.  Doheny was great though!  Tanner didn't have to tow me out and I actually stood up on multiple waves! After a year of having major anxiety over surfing, I have finally overcome my fear.
