We've gotten to see my family a few times and been to the beach to surf a few times as well, though not as much as we would like, but that's because we are about a 40min drive to them and the beach.
We went to a Church in Titusville (about 5 miles away) for the first 2 Sundays, but we didn't come away feeling we learned anything, so we found another church in Titusville that does that for us. It's called The Pentecostals, and is a great church. The Lord moves freely in that church, and the Pastor isn't one to feel forced to follow a schedule. As in, he won't stop praise and worship of the Lord so he can try and teach about the Lord. When the Lord moves in your heart, you need to stop and listen. When the Lord moves in the church, you have to stop and praise and worship Him.
So the surf here hasn't been to awesome, the swell is out until after Christmas, according to magicseaweed.com, surf-forecast.com, and Surfline.com. so we are only getting 1-1 1/2ft waves that break in about 3ft of water, but it's still tons of fun!
We picked up a 12ft epoxy surfboard for $75, and Lucas and I can surf together on that. Either he stays laying down while I stand up, or I stay on hands/knees while he stands up.
He was so excited he was hooting and hollaring when he gets up, he does it all by himself! TJ has a 9'4" Surf Core board that he is working on getting up, but his shorts were to tight on his thighs last time we went out, and that prevented him from having the flexibility he needed, otherwise he would have probably gotten up too! Shanesta definitely loves the warmer water! Going from 52degree water on the west coast to 70degree water on the east coast had definitely been a good thing! No need for wet suits with hoods and wishing you had gloves and boots the whole time! Instead of getting out because you can't feel your hands/toes, now you get out because your exhausted!
Here's how we've been getting around lately, we've gotten it to work ok enough to travel the 30miles or so, but we are limited to 45-50mph max because of a death wobble we have to fix after the first.
Well I gotta run for now, God Bless, and Merry Christmas!
