'Surfing is very much like making love. It always feels good, no matter how many times you've done it.' - Paul Strauch
I appreciate it when people bring things to the point.
So then let's make some love ❤️
Happiness Doesn't Need Sunshine
As I announced in my previous post Riders In The Storm today I had a wild surfing session in the rain.
According to the circumstances, this was definitely not my best performance. The Sea was incredibly rough. However, I appreciated the time, did some experimentation with my GoPro and shooted some funny duck dives.
Duck diving is a key skill for surfers.
It's absolutely essential to know how to dive through a wave.
That's the only way to get to the point.
Since I have my new surfboard I'm practicing that move all the time. Today I did two good ones - and filmed them for you. So you'll find the related sequence in the following video.
Want some hot coffee with milk & sugar on a rainy afternoon?
Then paddle out and earn it, Marly! 📷

'It's not tragic to die doing something you love.' - Mark Foo
I hope you enjoyed making some love.
It's time to have some coffee and white chocolate cookies now!!!
Enjoy your time

I know it is probably because of copyright, but you had a fantastic song opportunity on your first vid.. Nice BTW.

You mean I could have used the "Milk & Sugar" song for my video? Then YouTube would have censored it right away...:-) I download my music on freemusicarchive.org. The one I used today is from "Mystery" and called "Electric Puppet". I would love to use some commercial songs, but it's still not affordable.

As someone who has only had limited chances to practice, as I currently live far from the ocean but relish in every chance I get to partake, this was awesome. Thank you!

As I said in one of the other comments, I'm not sure if I could ever live far away from the Ocean again... I guess I would miss it too much!

Thank you! I am absolutely sure that I will live near the ocean for a time. My time in Hawaii, Florida, and California have neen my most treasured surfing and body surfing experiences. I am making a big trip to the beach/ mexico that i will be posting about soon! I will be back at the beach!!! Thank for sharing Marley!

LOL - usually the weather isn't that shitty. It's rather sunny and warm. But the water isn't ever really warm. Well, that's the Atlantic Ocean! :)

22 sounds heavenly compared to our 16, even though it is the same ocean - not sure if the ocean knows about it!

Thanks for your kind feedback. I Scuba dived once in Sharm El Sheikh and did my PADI Open Water Diver there. But that was like 7 years ago, so I guess I would need to do a refreshing course now...
On Canary Islands the underwater world is not very impressive, that's why I didn't dive again. However, I snorkel from time to time. Have a wet evening, too :D

Duck Diving is Key for surfers and you do it well @surfermarly
I like to think every time I duck dive under a big wave, it's like traveling into outer space through a portal and coming out onto the side! ;-)
Hang loose Marly,
Keep SURF N ON,
Frank

I am convinced that you know how to do it much better than I do. It needs a lot of practice, and I'm still a little beginner :-)

It's not about who's better... it does get easier and eventually can be done in flat still water. Your surfing videos is Great for all types, Beginner, Intermediate, and Professional. You put them together Very Well and speak to majority audience from what I have seen.
Keep STEEM N ON,
Frank
