Surfer Dawg

Today we went and explored another wonderful beach! 

It is called Monastery Beach and while I have no idea what that means, I think it must mean something good. Just look at this beautiful sand.

It's ideal for digging and hiding tennis balls so that I can re-discover them over and over and over again.

Best of all though, this beach is great for surfing!! 
Now surfing takes a lot of skill. 

First you have to time the entry, bounding over the incoming waves at just the right moment so that you can leap over it without getting a muzzle full of salt water.

Then you have to fetch the target. In this case it was one of mummy's flip flops. She lost the other one in the waves. She blamed it on me but really it was her fault as she just wasn't timing the waves properly.

Once you have the flip flop, you need to start cruising slowly into shore. Again, the timing is critical. You need to make sure you catch a wave at just the right moment.

If you catch it right, it will lift you up and carry you forward.

You will pick up speed and whoosh! You are carried safely into shore.

At this point, you can saunter out of the surf with all the swagger befitting a surfer dawg!

And because everyone loves a surfer dawg, you get to chill out afterwards with your groupies!
