SUNSHOWERS
This past weekend I sighed and lamented over how much longer I’d have to wait until my planned trip to Tofino with Jenny, until I realized that the trip is, in fact, happening next week! Though we have only two nights in my little homeslice of heaven, both us girls plan to make the most of it. Being that it’s Tofino we’re camping at, surfing is item number one on our menu of merriment.

It’s been probably no less than five years since I set foot on a surfboard, and even then, I wasn’t very good. Teaching yourself is rarely a good idea. It’s no secret that the West Coast of Vancouver Island boasts some wild waves, so learning in a safe environment is key. I signed Jenny and I up for an afternoon lesson with the Bruhwiler Surf School, and can’t even begin to tell you all how excited I am.
According to Bruhwiler’s official site, the legendary Bruhwiler family has grown up on the shores of Tofino, which provides years of stellar experience to share. I have zero doubt that Jen and I are both in for an exciting adventure because I’m going into it knowing that I’ll have fun whether I eventually stand up or not. And besides, if all else fails, I can just run up and down the beach in my blue bikini with a board tucked under my arm, à la Cameron Diaz.

You girls are going to have so much fun! I am super stoked for you!
Yay Tofino!!
I love everything about going there. The winding road, the huge trees, the lakes you pass, the bears you see on the road, the beaches, the camping, etc, etc!
Two days in paradise beats none at all! Hope you ladies have the best of times!
Yeow!! I’m SO excited!! I was pretty brutal at surfing last summer…but it’s such a blast just being out in the water all day that whether we stand up or not, it’s a guaranteed good time! Plus, the Bruhwiler’s are awesome!!
CAN’T WAIT to hit the waves with you!!
that sounds like an awesome trip.
I’m soooooooooooooooo jealous, kiss my darling Chesterman Beach for me – and then spit out the sand of course.
Good times indeed
