It was a difficult endeavor. There was a lot of wind, my wetsuit was three millimeters too thick and my surfboard was two feet too short. Seven feet six inches to be exact. Epoxy. With flowers on the front. I've never surfed something that short. And to be honest, I'm not sure I'll want to for awhile. But aside from the obvious, it was one hell of an experience. Stoked is an understatement.
In Israel, if there isn't any wind, there aren't any waves. Sort of a Catch-22. But when we found a spot that looked like it would work - a small cove at the south end of the city, with a rock jetty to your right - we slipped into a surf shop called
Galim, borrowed a couple of boards and paddled out. Follow the link for a few more photos.
