Yesterday I enjoyed my very first surf session after one month of illness. It was also my very first recording with the new GoPro Hero 6 in the water.
To be honest the session felt like my second birth - not only becaus it was quite hard to get out there paddling against the currents, haha!
Man, did you ever take a longer break from sports and then came back and thought you could just take up your original fitness level? Puuuh, after only one hour I was completely exhausted.
Still I needed that surf so much in many senses! The mandatory break was tough to handle from a mental perspective, since I'm not used to live without sports at all. I really need it to feel good - and complete.

Now you won't see impressive shots catching waves in my today's video, buuuuut the beginning of the clip pretty much reveals how it felt when I was approaching the beach yesterday. My heart was beating as if I was on my way to the first day at school :-)
That gave the name to my today's video: HEARTBEATS.
I hope you enjoyed it! Let me know in the comments.
Much love,
Marly -

Awesome - I bet it's great to get back in the water.
I'm actually testing out the SwellTech SurfSkate for a review on our blog at the moment.
So far, I've found that the board responds very similarly to a surfboard - which is incredible. Hopefully this will keep me sharp while I'm out of the water 🏄

Now that's pretty cool! Have you tried the Carver, too - and if yes how would you describe the differences between Carver and SurfSkate? I have a Carver, and it helps me a lot to improve my surfing.
Oh I have no words, it was massive! After one month I was almost driving crazy not being able to surf. Now life does make sense again :-)

Thank you! I'm almost fully recovered. Yesterday I got an important mental boost with that surf session, the rest is gonna be easy.

After almost one month it really seems unrealistic but your ways and techniques are quite impressive. Due to gap of one month the curves of the waves seem difficult to handle but you did really well, Marly :)
Stay Blessed, Steem On!

Today the ocean was pretty rought, so I had actually no chance to show my best techniques here :-) It's winter, so the swell's quite strong and waves don't break very smoothly. In a couple of weeks it'll be easier to handle.
Thanks for your encouragement!

That surf looks pretty heavy, that will test you after a month laid up. I’m glad you’re felling better. We’ve had 2-4m seas here for the past few days from a Cyclone in the coral sea.

Hi there, beautiful pictures! If you're not feeling well, I saw a lot of the flu epidemic and I follow naturalnews.com for reference sake, I'd say from my own experience it's not bad to take extra cod liver oil for the real vitamin D. I take Blue Ice Royal and it's amazing stuff, has also K2 in it. Also juicing tumeric and ginger is pretty darn amazing too. Wrote about it called it my NZT experience. Have a nice time and be vibrant! Love, N
