Cocoa Beach

One thing we wanted to do out here was surfing, so we rented a car and were lucky to get a convertiable for the two days. So with the roof down and the wind in our hair we drove to Cocoa beach on the east coast of Florida.

We booked a surf lesson with Ron Johns, we got there a bit early and did a bit of shopping in the Ron Johns shop, could have brought the whole shops and more!!!! Our lesson was for an hour, the sea was pretty rough and we were give safety lessons on rip tides, but I felt safe as we had our instrustor with us. We headed down to the beach carrying our surf beach. (oh we looked soo cool). We got battered by the waves after an hour, but it was brilliant. I stood up the board and Chris even caught a wave all by himself. We both have the bug now.

We stayed the night in Cocoa and headed to the beach the next day we brought a body board and spent the day on the beach soaking up the sun. The waves were still rough, but we managed to catch some waves body boarding. Weather was amazing too, tan is coming along nicely. Now we can go surfing down in cornwall when we get back!

Hurriance season has started yesterday, by the afternoon the heavens opened and it didnt stop raining all night. Not brilliant today either!!!!! Hopefully we will get some good thunderstorms.
