Surfing Journey

Recently got into loving water! Hmm it been calling my name for some years now but I finally took the dive (lol) and decided to go in the ocean and swim more in general. Unfortunately I broke my ankle on 6/7/23 and my four day weekend went to waste. I was going to go buy a cheap board and surf out in Rhode Island or at least try to since I've never surfed before, but maybe I should become a better swimmer before I even atry to surf.
