A few weeks ago we shared a blog article written by Jenna Autuori from FITNESS Magazine because she was getting excited to visit Hawaii and take surf lessons from Ty Gurney Surf School.  She said it was something she has had on her bucket list for a long time but she was also very nervous about surfing because of a fear of sharks and the unknown.  We are proud to announce that Jenna surfed with TGSS and had a blast!  We loved her excitement and enthusiasm and she and her husband, Dino, did great!

Jenna shared her experience on her blog in the article Check One Off the Bucket List: Surfing in Hawaii! She was pretty nervous at first but then embraced the whole experience once her she met her instructors.

Our instructors, Mike and Matt, had that amazing easygoing surfer vibe and they gave me and my husband, Dino, each one-on-one demonstrations. We found out all that we need to know to surf, which surprisingly wasn’t really all that much! The instructions are pretty simple, it’s practice that makes perfect in this sport.

My nerves starting acting up, however, when I saw how far out into the ocean we’d be going to catch those waves. Had the water not been shallow, I probably would have ran from the scene! But my instructor was by my side the entire time and I was beyond exhilarated when I caught my first wave. Let’s just say I totally get it now—I get why people like riding waves. - Jenna from FITNESS Magazine
