There are no ski lifts in the ocean

I love snow skiing.  It is lots of fun.  It helps one to enjoy the winter very much.

Recently, I tried surfing, at a very novice level mind you.  Being a skier, I thought that I might have a chance with balancing on the board.  What I did not account for was getting out to where you start.  You have to fight the waves just to get there and for a beginner, that could be a problem.



I had a lot of fun trying it with my co-workers at WTWH Media, home of Fluid Power World.  This was a great team building exercise with a great team.  There are no ski lifts in the ocean :(
